This is a very special event for all Star Wars fans and something Gary Kurtz and I have wanted to run for many years

on May 5th 2012 for the first time Star Wars fans will be able to attend a Star Wars fan convention at Elstree film studios themselves.

This is a very rare chance to visit the historic film studios and take part in a very special day , an Elstree Empire Day.

The day will consist of

Talks by the guests
Autograph session by the guests with some rare first time signer guests
Display of Original film props some never been seen before.
Display of Art Department items such as art work ,models and Blueprints etc
Display of photos showing all the work that took place at the film studios
A talk by Gary Kurtz Star Wars Producer about a day in his life at the studios back in 1976
And many more surprises that you find out about on the day.

There will also be a Auction of rare Star Wars items including the following
Rare Star Wars Autographs
Screen used Star Wars Film Props
Original film posters
Film Production used items
As well as other really cool items

there will be a limited number of tickets for sale for the con and when they have sold out that will be it , as the studios have put a cap on the amount of public can attend so do not miss this chance to be there .

Now down to the tickets and what you get

Sounds great, and I am really interested, but cash could be a problem. Just a shame the tickets go on sale 3 days before xmas when MANY poeple have little or no money at all. I'm sure many people would have liked a bit more of a heads up so that they could save before tickets went on sale.

[Capt.Sith.Park]

Fantastic!

Is there a link for the ticket purchase? (didn't see it above)

[Marky242]

Very excited about this!!

[TerraHawk]

Well I have the date free, and the cash to spend on standard but the fact it's random 6 guests for free thats the only drawback so far, I might get 6 I don't need, then still have to buy at 8 that I do.

So I think I'll leave it till later in the day to decide. If it sells out, I can live with it.

I'm assuming the absentee pack is on photos you provide rather than allowing things to be posted in? So not actually perfect for me

[jedijonboy]

Am i being stupid but how DO you buy tickets!!

[Big_Pants]

Ooooh very cool!

[jedijonboy]

Is it being held on the 5th or the 6th!! it quotes two dates lol

[Delorean 2015]

This actually sounds pretty cool.. TBH id kind of given up on Star Wars themed conventions in the UK ever since celebration Europe as that was the first real chance to meet Mark Hamill and (in my opinion) nothing has really compared since.. But this is something really different and as its being held at Elstree makes it pretty special.. I may be purchasing a ticket!!  

[jedicouncil]

for the Gold ticket it mentions 12 autogrpahs but doesn't say anything about them being random, will be they random or will we be able to pick?

In case you have missed the reply from Terrahawk, the link will go up when the tickets are placed on sale tomorrow at 7pm.

[Dave Boy]

Hope this includes a visit to stage 1 and 2.

[Narago]

[SMASTER]

This may be a stupid question, but are we sent the autographs with the tickets or do we collect them at the convention?

With the Absentee Ticket the autographs will be sent to your home after the event. With the other tickets you get the autograph when you meet the guest/s during the autograph session.

you mean 7, 8 or 9 ? The first shot of Star Wars was filmed on 7 in 1976 as was the last shot of the saga on the last film.

If i have a choice it will be held on stage 7 but at this time the studio cannot commit to which building we will have the event held in. but it is agreed we will have one building to run the event in so we should know around a week out which building it will be. but i am hoping for stage 7 ;-)

see some of you there
