Did you really go?
And if so, did people really have to stand in line for 8 hours to buy a Darth Vader action figure?

Yes and yes. Just got back, in fact.
The Vader figure was cool. It said a couple of event specific phrases, like "Welcome to Celebration III", etc.. I didn't get one (by the time we got over there, the Celebration store was CLOSED), but they were $15 and then selling for $60 at the swap meet section.
So no go on that, but I did get Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) and Billy Dee autographs. Also nabbed a Christmas Yoda figure that was so goofy I couldn't pass up.
OH! And they showed about 10 minutes of new Ep III footage and it looked UN-FREAKIN-REAL. I remain cautiously optimistic. 8)

You should have taken Billy Dee out for some Colt 45s! Also, does Billy Dee know Gray Spivey? I remember he did some psychic counselor commercials awhile back but I don't know if Billy Dee was shilling for the Psychic Companions Network or some other group.

I was actually going to have him sign a can of Colt 45, but the Missus said, and I quote, "We don't need any more crap sitting around the house." So a picture of Lando now adorns our walls instead. 8) RD

Wait....isn't a can of beer (and I'm a non-drinker) better to look at then looking at a picture of Lando's mug?
What kind of music plays (if any), is it just various John Williams score stuff or what?

You ever think Lucas just figured he could cruise-control the firts two prequels as long as he delivered the goods in the last one? There's gonna be so much action in ROTS happening left and right, there won't be TIME for Lucas to screw it up. Unless he decided to leave the Yoda fart in.
