Celebration IV: Day 1 - Love among the Stars

Today is the first open day of the Star Wars convention Celebration IV. Here is what I have learnt through my participation today:

• Watching younglings learn lightsaber moves then fight Darth Vader is an emotional experience
• The Star Wars fan community is a loving group
• Talking on a cell phone is a somewhat effective way of brushing past a gatekeeper
  
• I still love Star Wars
• Lego is Rad, Lego Star Wars is Super Rad
• Elvis Trooper is one cool dude
• R2-D2 is practically a religious icon
• If you see a cool costume, tell them, and they will love you for it
• If someone starts singing "Duel of the Fates," join in
  

You practically had to chisel the smile off my face today. More to follow.
