[UPDATED] Star Wars Celebration Starts Tomorrow!

UPDATE: Sean Dahlberg, Community Manager for Star Wars: The Old Republic just posted the official update on what’s happenin’ with TOR @ Celebration… here’s a tidbit:

Also, to relax from all the craziness, we’re putting together a community event to celebrate our love of Star Wars with you. Meet The Old Republic developers Friday, August 13th and Saturday, August 14th from 5PM to 7PM at the Hoth Bar inside the convention center!

That’s right, the hour is finally upon us! The greatest concentration of all-things Star Wars in the entire galaxy begins tomorrow here in Orlando, Florida!

Although BioWare has confirmed a presence for TOR, there has been no official announcement as to the specifics. We were able to learn through the official Star Wars Celebration schedule that there is a panel on Friday entitled “The Art and Writing of Star Wars: The Old Republic:

Drew Karpyshyn (Principal Writer, BioWare), Hall Hood (Senior Writer, BioWare), Arnie Jorgensen (Lead Concept Artist, BioWare) and Clint Young (Senior Concept Artist (Environments), BioWare) discuss what goes into creating the art and story in Star Wars: The Old Republic, the upcoming story-driven massively-multiplayer online role-playing game in development by BioWare and LucasArts. As an added bonus, Clint and Arnie will be creating an entirely original piece of concept art live during the panel, giving attendees a rare and exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the creative process. Don’t miss your chance to speak first-hand with the developers!

There is an encore presentation of that same panel on Saturday. You can count on Ask A Jedi to be present for both sessions, bringing you all the latest – we’re hoping for a special reveal though the concept art. It’s just hope at this point… :) And of course, we may just have a few surprises up our sleeves as well…

If you’ll be there, we’d love to meet you! Drop us a line here, or watch this space for news on where we’ll be. We also previously published a guide to the highlights of the convetion, which you can read here.

However, if you’re not going, be absolutely sure to stay tuned here – and follow us in Twitter and Facebook – for the absolute latest coverage from the show floor!
