Whens the next Star Wars convention in SoCal?

Question

I can't really find any info, does anybody have any idea? I was hoping that since Clone Wars just came out they would have one somewhere in Southern California

Answer 1

The Baltimore Business Journal reported on July 4, 2008 that Balitmore is being considered to be the site for Star Wars Celebration V.  Also in the running are Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Chicago, and Orlando.  The article even quotes Steve Sansweet who is the head of fan relations for Lucasfilm.  He is the guy who sets up the conventions.  They are shooting for the spring of 2009 or 2010.  They gave exactly 12 months notice for the last 2 conventions, so my guess is 2010.  The link to the artice can be found below.

I also provided a link to a website thats trying to get Orlando to be the site.  It has all kinds of info about who to contact to make it happen, and responses from emails to Steve Sansweet himself.  They update it with new news as they get it.

Since I'm in the Washington, DC area, I would love it to be in Baltimore, but the warm weather in Orlando would probably be just as nice as it was in LA last year.

I hope this helps.
