More than 30,000 fans from around the world gathered in Indianapolis for the four-day "Celebration III," the largest official "Star Wars" convention ever held. George Lucas, the master of all Jedi, was on hand Saturday for Celebration III.
"The whole phenomenon started with the fans," Lucas told the crowd Saturday in his first appearance at any official Star Wars convention and his first fan convention in 18 years.
"That allowed it to be a huge success from the first day the movie opened," he continued.
Lifelong Star Wars fan, Nicole Ryker, 20, said she queued for five hours to hear Lucas speak.
"It was phenomenal. The best thing in the world, better than hearing the president speak," she said.
On May 19, Star Wars creator George Lucas will release the final film of his space opera, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. The film will cap a 28-year journey by Lucas that began with a small-budget sci-fi flick that has since grown into a worldwide pop culture phenomenon reports USAToday
