Over 30,000 Star Wars fans from all around the world converged at the Indiana Convention Center for only the 3rd Lucasfilm-licensed Star Wars fan convention so far: Celebration III. This event turned Indianapolis into the Star Wars center on planet Earth from April 21st (Thursday) through the 24th (Sunday), 2005. The convention center was FILLED with fans on all 4 days despite the rain and reportedly atypical cold weather for that time of year. Even though this was about 3 weeks BEFORE the world premiere of Episode III, a few of the HUNDREDS of fans in costume were already showing up as characters set to appear in "Revenge of the Sith".
