Day One - Thursday April 13

Welcome to Star Wars Celebration. Lines, lines and more lines. May the Force be with you.

Finally!! 

​Rows and rows of queue space for those waiting for the long haul overnight.

​Our first stop at #SWCO is Lego!

Got the #LEGOSWCO exclusive set!

​Think Geek has some awesome merchandise. The tiki set is very tempting. Too bad Jabba is already sold out!

Droid racing!!!

Yes! My favorite cosplay so far!

​My credit card is already crying. 

Checking out the droid builders. Perhaps these are the droids you're looking for?

​So impressive and unique!

​I think I found my favorite droid. 

How great is this Cosplay?! Lots of creativity going on here.

​The folks at 501st Legion have an amazing room to visit. 

​So much detail in their Rose Bowl parade Lego diorama!

​More from 501st Legion. So great!

​Well, I won't be going in the Celebration store anytime soon. 

​I love the shirts from TeeTurtle, and already own a few of them!

​My face when I saw the line to get in the convention center this morning. 

​Love seeing droids just rolling around on the show floor.

​Currently in line for the Funko exclusives, since they're available to non-ticket holders after 2, but the shelves are looking bare.

​Funko line is now closed. Maybe we'll try again tomorrow. 

​Star Wars Ana Jet planes. Models have cast autographs. 

​Seriously amazing Lego displays made by the Greater Florida Lego Users Group

​I want this car.

​Want some Star Wars kitchen products? Toasters, waffle makers, you name it!

​And for more items around the home, how about this couch and coffee table?

​Hot Wheels Star Wars Celebration show exclusives are still available. 

​Going camping? Now you can go in Star Wars style!

​Force Awakens characters made out of Legos.

​You can make a little Lego at the Building Bay.

​If you're wanting a Star Wars tattoo, this is the place to go.

​You can watch some pretty awesome artists at work on Star Wars pieces. 

​Incredible Force Awakens cosplay. 

​The line for the Celebration Store is still at 2 hours. Here are the pins they have, with some already sold out. 

Star Wars Rebels cosplay. Wow!​

​Lines galore for autographs and photos with the celebrities.

Something, Something Dark Side 

​Activities going on at the stage for Star Wars Show Live.

​Most items are sold out for the day at Funko, but here's what's left. 

​The custom Star Wars cars around the floor are pretty sweet.

​Garth Vader! 

​So happy I got to meet this little guy. 

​The calm before the storm for those lining up overnight/tomorrow. 

​Here's the front of the line for those already waiting for tomorrow!

​That's a wrap from day one of 2017 Star Wars Celebration in Orlando! We'll be back for more tomorrow.

​My mileage and steps for today after Star Wars Celebration.
