ASWC — Actual Star Wars Content

As I try to wake up this morning, I am going to do something unprecedented for a blog called "The Padawan Pause" — I am going to put in a little Star Wars content. I am also going to be brief, which is something else I'm not too good at. I hope to do more of both in the future.

So, here we go — this just in! Our friends over at The Force.Net have a post stating that Celebration V has been confirmed for 2010. Why this is good news for anyone other than Star Wars collectors is, I believe, this — George tends to have the Celebrations around times when fan interest is the highest. In the past, this has meant right before the release of all three Prequel movies.

There has been very little coming down the Star Wars pipeline lately, so what this is about — other than an opportunity for GentleGiant to sell minibusts of characters whose names you don't know — is open to question. My current theory is that it will be part of the buildup for the new live-action television series, which I have heard from other sources (which I lack the time to document now) is gearing up in Australia at the moment. This may also explain the rumors of an upcoming announcement of a StarTours refresh that a lot of Disney geeks have been speculating about lately.

More news as I hear it.
