Star Wars Celebration V, the official Star Wars convention scheduled for this weekend in Orlando, has a slew of Star Wars authors and some illustrators attending. A lot of the attention has been focused on the celebrities from the movies that will be attending. However, fans of the vast body of Star Wars literary work also have a lot to look forward to at Star Wars Celebration V.

Star Wars Celebration V is almost upon us, and schedules are now online! Break out the highlighters kids, because there’s a lot of great stuff happening at this convention! Star Wars Celebration V is the official Star Wars convention, organized by ReedPOP, and it is happening August 12 – 15, 2010 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. The Convention Fans Blog’s nerdsherpa will be at the convention as a volunteer (and we’ll be seeing some feedback from him once he recovers from the experience). Now, we’re not going to rehash the entire schedule here, but as we did for San Diego Comic-Con, we’ll post some of the “must see” panels and interesting events.

Every year we cry a little bit about not making it out to California for San Diego Comic-Con International (or SDCC for short). Even though we won’t be attending SDCC 2010, we have looked over the schedule and created a list of “must see” events and panels that we would attend if we were there. Since that programming list so incredibly long, we’re breaking down these recommendations into specific days. So without further ado, here is The Convention Fans Blog List of Must See Sunday Programming at San Diego Comic-Con 2010.

The big news yesterday was that Mark Hamill, Luke Skywalker from the Star Wars franchise, will be appearing at the Star Wars Celebration V convention in Orlando. This got everyone super excited… temporarily. You see, Mark Hamill has one of the most outlandish autograph fees in fandom. If you want to get it at Star Wars Celebration V, you’ll have to pony up $125.00.

The folks running Star Wars Celebration are offering a few lucky fans some opportunities to win tickets to their Star Wars Celebration V convention happening in Orlando, Florida. I previously posted the press release about the Star Wars Ultimate Fan Getaway contest (via Cartoon Network). Now the organizers are hooking up with G4 with their “Star Wars Glitch Hunt Contest.”
