Back to the Future II_Power Laces

As Back to the Future fans know, part of the second film in the trilogy takes place in the year 2015, and we all wanted the cool futuristic gizmos featured in the movie like hoverboards and flying cars.

Well, the year 2015 is not that far off, and, while we probably won’t have flying cars or hoverboards by then, Nike is currently working on a patent to develop self-lacing sneakers – very similar to what Marty McFly wore in Back to the Future II. Read on for details!

I was just surfing around Star Wars.com, looking at all their coverage of Star Wars Celebration V, and I found this great time-lapsed video of artist Eric Maruscak doing a chalk drawing of characters from season three of Cartoon Network’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The drawing was timed in such a way where a new character, “Savage Oppress”(Darth Maul’s brother), was not drawn until he was officially revealed by George Lucas on Saturday, August 17th. You can check out a couple of still shots below, and you can also view the video by clicking here!

Before I knew it, it was already the last day of Star Wars Celebration V. As a fan, you wait and wait until the next Celebration, and when they finally come around they’re already over with. It is always bittersweet, but at the same time the last day of the convention is always the most relaxing – which is a very good thing after being awake for literally 24 hours the day before.

Hmm… where to begin? How about 1 AM Saturday morning? That’s when I got up to get ready and go wait in line at the Orange County Convention Center to see first hand The Main Event interview between The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart and the maker himself – George Lucas.

It was Day 2, and I was extremely excited for the day. Essentially, it was Mark Hamill day for me. I had originally planned on attending “The Sounds of Star Wars” Panel at 10:30 AM with the legendary Ben Burtt, but I ended up walking to the wrong stage. However, it ended up working out for me though, because the stage I walked to was going to have the Mark Hamill panel at 2:30, and the line was just starting to form. Needless to say, I claimed my place in line.

And so it begins. The first day of Star Wars Celebration V, while it did not contain the biggest events of the weekend (Friday and Saturday will be filled with those), it was still quite an eventful day. And just so you know, I do have pictures to show, however I forgot my USB cord for the camera to plug into my laptop, so I will have to update these posts later on in the week with actual photos.

It has been over five years since I attended my first Star Wars Celebration, which was Celebration III in Indianapolis, Indiana. Prior to that, I had never really considered going to a Star Wars convention before – but it was the year of the last live-action Star Wars film ever to be made, so I figured it was probably going to be quite an event and that I should go. Needless to say, the con exceeded my expectations and I immediately made up my mind that I would be going at least one more time if there were to be any more Celebrations.

I ended up attending Celebration IV in 2007 in Los Angeles on the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, and now I am currently in Orlando, Florida sitting in my hotel room with a friend and my dad, anxiously awaiting the long-anticipated Star Wars Celebration V to celebrate the recent 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back.
