Celebration IV , commonly abbreviated as C4 or CIV , was the fourth Celebration of the Star Wars saga. It was held at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California from May 24 to May 28, 2007. Its primary purpose was to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Star Wars : Episode IV A New Hope , the original Star Wars film which debuted on May 25, 1977. May 24 was exclusively for members of the Hyperspace fan club. Jay Laga'aia was the Celebrity Master of Ceremonies for the concourse stage, and Doug Steves was the MC for the behind-the-scenes stage. The event brought in over 35,000 people—the largest attendance of any Star Wars Celebration until Celebration Orlando. [1] Contents. Background [ edit | edit source ] On February 16, 2006, StarWars.com posted an article hinting at a Celebration IV. [2] Up until that point, such an event had been only fan speculation. This announcement by the Official Site led fans to believe that Lucasfilm Ltd. might be in the planning stages at that point. During a question and answer session at the 2006 Star Wars Disney Weekends, Rick McCallum confirmed that there would be a Celebration IV in 2007 as fans had expected. [3] Concurrent with the previous rumor, [4] on May 26, 2006, StarWars.com confirmed officially that there would be a Celebration IV, and that it would be in Los Angeles, California from May 24 to May 28 of 2007. [5] Tickets for the event went on sale at approximately 12:00 PM PST on October 30, 2006, and online pre-registration was available until March 31, 2007. Official Pix was again in charge of the Star Wars celebrity autographs, likely with more guests than the previous Celebration (which had 41). [6] At the 2006 Comic-Con, Stephen J. Sansweet stated that footage from the 3D Clone Wars cartoon would be shown at Celebration IV.

A comic book detailing events of the movie was also offered to fans at CIV. Star Wars Generations: A Celebration of Fandom by Bonnie Burton. There really was something there for everyone at Star Wars Celebration V. For those that count themselves among the crafty or simply have an unbridled enthusiasm for glitter and/or googly eyes, master crafter Bonnie Burton offered a panel on the art of crafting. The panel was a great combination of fan-driven and Bonnie-made. From sack puppets to Jabba the Hutt body pillows; we saw an interesting amalgam of crafts from the complicated to the simple. Bonnie provided great details on the ins and outs of crafting. As the panel progressed, a common theme was "don't blow your budget." Bonnie stressed the usefulness of reusable items and supplies like toilet paper rolls, baby food jars, and old action figures as a cost effective means of crafting. Creativity in using what's available, rather than in searching out specialty items, is part of the fun. Children?s' crafts also featured prominently as something that was educational, but also a great way to spend time with your family. Bonnie did describe some of her biggest challenges in regards to crafting, but more importantly she advised a caveat of "there will be mistakes." Some of her larger projects included making a Tauntaun couch with exposed innards, and her newest project for her office is a Wampa chair with a mannequin recessed from the ceiling acting as a de facto Luke Skywalker. All in all, the panel was an excellent opportunity for budding or expert crafters to explore the possibilities for crafting within the Star Wars universe. Look for Bonnie?s book, The Star Wars Craft Book , in stores and online retailers on March 29, 2011.
