Jedi-Con 2004

The 2004 Jedi-Con took place in the CCD in Dusseldorf, a great location for events like this. The con was the setting for the first European meeting of the R2 Builders Club. All in all, there were 10 finished droids present, and about two and a half droids in parts. The attending R2 builders came from all over Europe: The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, Austria and from Germany. We had three days of pure fun and talking droid. Xeno-man showed off his brand-new scooter-motor-driven R2, which was unbelievably fast. I think this was the end of the area of the windshield wiper motor.....

Our very brave volunteer, who saved C-3PO´s appearance in the opening show, with "her" C-3PO-suit. She did really fine, and acted 3PO just like Anthony Daniels.
