The four-day mega-event Star Wars Celebration V wrapped up its final day yesterday, August 15, 2010, in Orlando. After spending 20+ hours taking in all that is Star Wars over the convention’s first three days, I decided to sit the final day out.
But photographer Michael Gavin was there to keep us on top of all the most exciting and unique sights through the convention’s last hours. Here are some of his best photos accompanied by my commentary:
This Mandelorian was found chilling near the Death Star.
Meanwhile a few Death Star engineers were ensuring everything was in order.
I think the engineers misread the plans when designing this guy's TIE Fighter / helmet.
Apparently the Death Star also has a female roller derby team...
...and a chef. Cream of Jar Jar anyone?
When not blasting Jedi, Storm Troopers wait in line, just like the rest of us.
I'd be worried if I were this guy in the blue shirt. Although not too much - Storm Troopers miss most of the time anyway.
The AT-AT was sporting a "Droid On Board" sign.
This transport was just waiting to... transport... someone.
On the convention floor, this stroller-turned-AT-AT made for a perfect nap spot.
But the Emperor was not pleased with his vehicles being used outside of battle.
Appropriately, actor Jay Laga'aia (Captain Typho) was checking out the NASA / Kennedy Space Center booth. Perhaps he's interested in really flying to a galaxy far, far away...
This Storm Trooper finished Star Wars Celebration V with Florida tourist style, not ready to leave Orlando quite yet.
We might as well finish our daily Star Wars Celebration V updates with the most popular subject: Slave Leias. Here's one.
And another.
And one more to round it out, so to speak.
While that may be the end of Star Wars Celebration V, we’re not done with the fun quite yet. Keep checking back in the coming days for a few more galleries and a video too.
