SDCC STAR WARS
FAN CLUB BREAKFAST
Next, Steve Sansweet walked to the podium to just talk with us
about all things Lucas and Star Wars. He seemed quite excited about
the new animated series and said that Lucas is really getting into
how that series is coming along. Then he talked a little about the
live action saying this is coming along and it will be something
quite cool as well. He ended his time by thanking us for help making
Star Wars what it is.

The 2007 Comic-Con Star Wars Fan Club Breakfast was really a
great time. I had to get up at 5:45 am after being out all night so
I was ready for a great meal when I got there. The food was pretty
good and it was hot which helped make me wake up. When you got in
and picked your seat you got your Concept Obi-Wan & Yoda figure,
Adam Hughes Print (which we could get autographed), replica ticket,
and other little things on the table. 
Mary Franklin got up and started things off by thanking us for
being there and going over everything we might hear. Then a
representative from Dark Horse got up and talked about the fun of
doing the comics and that we should be on the look out for some good
stuff coming our way. Then Derryll Depriest got up and talked about
what Hasbro has coming. He told us that the figures coming for the
new Clone Wars line will be quite cool and that it will do a good
job representing that series. He could not go into more but it
sounds like a good thing for us. Then he talked a little about the
Indy line of toys and that there will be figures from all the Indy
movies not just the new one and they will be done in the style that
the Star Wars figures are being done. 
The last speaker was the father of Katie Johnson the little girl
who passed away of Brain Cancer. This to me was quite moving that he
would want to get up and talk about what happened. He mainly focused
on the 501st and how awesome it was to meet George Lucas at the Rose
Bowl. He did talk about the impact of seeing the R2-KT figure for
the first time and that it really meant a lot to him. The last item
he mentioned was that we need to make sure we pass on our passion
for Star Wars because of the love we have for it. 
Overall, it was a great event. I loved getting the items from the
goodie bag and Adam Hughes auto on the print. Sure the $60 bucks is
a decent amount of money but the whole event and being apart of it
makes the time and money worth while. United we Find!
