And starwars.com has personal testimony from fans and Lucasfilm employees who survived the convention. Steve Sansweet reveals that some folks at Lucasfilm wanted to cancel Celebration because of the Columbine murders just 10 days beforehand and they really wrestled with the issue until local politicians convinced them to go forward with the event.
