Star Wars Galaxies: Star Wars Celebration III preregistration opens

The Star Wars party of a lifetime - Celebration III - is almost here! Coming to the Indiana Convention Center April 21 - 24, 2005, the show promises 4 days of non-stop Star Wars fun with celebrity guests, entertainment, special events, displays, exhibits, collectibles, games, and more.

To make sure you have more time, and more money, to spend on all the fun at Celebration III, sign up online at starwarscelebration.com before 12 noon PST Friday, March 4, 2005. By registering online before the deadline you can choose to have your show badges shipped to you, and avoid waiting in the badge purchase line at the show.

You'll also have a few more dollars to spend in Indianapolis, and on Celebration III merchandise. Order one 4-day adult badge before the deadline, to be shipped before the show, and save $15 - the same price as one Celebration III Darth Vader talking action figure.

That's not all! If you live in the U.S. and purchase a 4-day badge before the March 4 deadline, and choose to have it shipped, you may also choose to receive a free Darth Vader foamhead topper ($2.95 handling fee). If you live outside the United States and purchase a 4-day badge before the deadline you may pick up your free Darth Vader topper at Will Call ($2.95 handling fee).

Finally, if you're a member of the Official Star Wars Fan Club, and purchase a 4-day badge before the March 4 deadline you can receive 4 "Friends & Family" coupons that you can use to give non-members special access during members-only hours at Celebration III.

To register, and for more details on Friends & Family coupons, Vader toppers, show hours, updates, and more, go to starwarscelebration.com. For the latest news and updates go to starwars.com/c3.

If you miss the March 4 deadline, you'll miss out on these specials, but you can still order your badges online to be picked up at Will Call. The last day to order Celebration III badges for Will Call pick up is Friday April 1, 2005, before 12 noon PST. Will Call pickup will be open throughout the event, starting the day before the show - Wednesday, April 20 from 2 pm - 8 pm at the Indiana Convention Center.

You can also purchase Celebration III badges at the Convention Center throughout the show as capacity permits. Onsite badge sales will open for the first time on Wednesday, April 20, 2005 from 5 pm - 8 pm.
