SHOW NOTES
Prologue: C4 Movie Marathon and Show Set-Up Arnie and Marjorie, along with Darth Prime, THX-182, Red 5, and Scott (from Tulsa) all began their Celebration 4 journey today with overviews of the exhibit floor and attending the movie marathon. Plus one of them even got to go shopping in the C4 official store! Listen as we describe the calm before the storm and what we are most looking forward to on tomorrow, the official Day 1, the Fan Club day. Celebration 4 Coverage Part 1: Fan Club Day Exhausted after a day of chasing Boba Fett maquette variants and partying with the Star Wars Action News listeners at our Convention kick-off party, Marjorie and Arnie interview the first person in the Celebration 4 line and recap their abbreviated first day at the con. Celebration 4 Coverage Part 2: Bomb Bad! So, what could be worse than standing out in the cold rain during a tornado to see George Lucas at Celebration 3? How about the threat of a massive explosion that could kill thousands of Star Wars fans in one fell swoop. Of course, we would have all died in ignorant bliss. Yes, folks, there was a bomb scare at Star Wars C4 (how apt a name it is). But the biggest bomb that went off was the stink bomb known as the Opening Ceremonies. Arnie and Marjorie, a little more jaded for wear, give you the rundown of a very difficult convention day. Celebration 4 Coverage Part 3: Star Wars Pops Up All Over! Arnie and Marjorie are slowly recovering from the exhaustion of C4 and recovering from a variety of illnesses to boot, but they have two interviews conducted at C4 to continue, not conclude, our C4 coverage. The Long Con: A Final C4 Wrap-Up! Arnie and Marjorie are back in the studio and bring you their final thoughts on Star Wars Celebration 4 in Los Angeles. Peppered by thoughts from other Star Wars Action News staff members and listeners, Arnie and Marjorie detail their last three days at the con.
