To be honest for Adam and myself (Andrea), Star Wars week started for us Tuesday night at the Dodgers Baseball game. The stadium was invaded with Jedi, Storm Troopers and Darth Vader. They even gave out free T-shirts to commemorate the night.<\/p>\n
So, now, onward to the first day of Star Wars Celebration and our further adventures into geekdom!<\/p>\n
First things first;<\/p>\n
This place was in chaos this morning! \u00a0There were lines for panels, lines for registration and more lines to get to the exhibit hall.<\/p>\n
People, aliens, Storm Troopers and “Slave Leias” were every where.<\/p>\n

As you can see, it would have been hard for anyone to miss “the droids they were looking for”.<\/p>\n
Once we got inside to the exhibit hall, it was sensory overload. There were booths for taking pictures in your favorite Star Wars Scene to buying your favorite toys, so much to see and so much to do it was\u00a0hard to decide where to truly begin.<\/p>\n
I will be posting updates and photos here throughout the four day experience as we wander, explore, see all we can see and do all we can do. \u00a0It will be an exhausting amazing adventure and we will bring it all to you from our point of view!<\/p>\n
More to come later…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
