Celebration II Lanyards Sold Out:

According to a report on TheForce.net, a disgrunteled customer complained that Wizards of the Coast has sold out of the special "Star Wars Celebration Lanyards" available only to Star Wars Fan Club members.

"I just purchased my Celebration II Three Day Adult Admission (Shipped) so I could avoid the lines at the Celebration and immediately enjoy the special benefits with my Fan Club Lanyard. Well, to my surprise, when my pass arrived there was no Fan Club Lanyard."

The fan contacted the Fan Club and was told to bring a picture ID and be prepared to wait in line! So... I guess the moral of the story is - shop early or be prepared to wait.

For the entire article, see "Celebration Lanyard Sold Out" on TheForce.net.

Celebrity Autographs:

StarWars.com has posted some information on which Star Wars Celebrities will be attending Celebration II in May 2002 and how to obtain their autographs.

Apparently a coupon system will be used - one coupon equals one autograph.

That signature could be on one of the exclusive free photos provided for the autographs by C2 Ventures, the company coordinating the celebrities, or on another appropriate piece of memorabilia. One coupon equals one autograph. Collect one inscription from each star, or use several coupons to have your favorite star sign several treasures.

In addition to meeting your favorite Star Wars personalities, you can also look forward to seeing them on stage. Guests will appear on one of the three celebrity stages at Celebration II for interviews, and to field questions from you in the audience, moderated by one of our professional MCs.

An official listing of which celebrites will appear at Celebration II should be available soon from StarWars.com and the WotC Celebration II website.
