Fan Booths and Presentations

Activities for Everyone!

What would the saga without its fans, without the people who actively devote their time to all aspects of the galactic saga? At JEDI-CON 2010, we are once again proud to welcome a variety of groups showcasing their hobby to con guests both large and small., making their passion for Star Wars something to be seen, heard, and touched first-hand.

The following groups (in alphabetical order) are already* on board:

German Base Yavin

The "German home" for supporters of the Light Side is part of the worldwide operating Rebel Legion. At the booth we will present selfmade costumes and accessories (e.g. Jedi comlinks, bags, lightsaber hilts etc.). Furthermore, our members give information on their club's life and their support of Magnus Müller's Mission Orange (charity project) via flyers, Powerpoint presentations, costume photo albums and more.

Rebellenstützpunkt

This is where collectors come to enjoy. Action figures and dioramas will be on display (vintage, neo and custom), and videos of meetups and activities complete the picture. Another highlight is a pair of oversized backcards in the style of a German "48back card". The presentation's focal points will be "30 years of The Empire Strikes Back" and "Back to real" (meeting fans "face to face" and not just anonymously via the Internet).
