Orlando, Florida—The Force is with Orlando, Florida, as more than 30,000 Star Wars fans get ready to celebrate George Lucas’ universe in a galaxy, far far away, as up-and-coming director Christian Macht will be present to meet fans and sign copies of his award-winning Fandom movie, The Force Among Us.

The Force Among Us is one of the best known documentaries about the world of Star Wars fans and their connection to the movie trilogies as director Christian Macht traveled the world to see the places where the movies were filmed and interviewed fans across the globe wanting to share their passion for the highest grossing movie franchise of all time.

Christian Macht made the film “The Force Among Us” in 2007 to honor Lucasfilm’s legacy and the amazing fan following that the Star Wars films generated since the original movie, also known as Episode IV: A New Hope, first released on May 25th, 1977.

Today, Star Wars Celebration V—the world’s largest Star Wars themed convention—is gearing up to host celebrities and VIPs from both movie trilogies and extended universe, as well as those whose creativity has earned them a place as Fandom royalty with a following that has spread quickly thanks to countless blogs and the standardization of video formats through YouTube.

“This is an amazing opportunity to meet with people from every walk of life who see the Force as the binding energy that makes Star Wars such a successful franchise,” said Jack Klodzinski, a manager of CMI Toys, who is hosting director Christian Macht at their booth in the Star Wars Celebration V Exhibit Hall.

Orlando’s Star Wars Celebration event is the epitome of all sci-fi conventions, as stars from the Star Wars universe and die-hard fans converge in the largest gathering for this movie franchise’s enthusiasts—including appearances by iconic actors Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, who played the roles of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa, respectively.

“From a marketing perspective, small and large exhibitors are equally exposed to fans and their hunger to get their hands on memorabilia, costumes and other fan favorite items such as light sabers and autographed photos,” said Andres Goyanes, past president of the American Marketing Association of Central Florida. “George Lucas hit gold in the seventies and today his oil well keeps on spreading throughout the Star Wars Fandom.”

“Having Christian at such a massive Star Wars event is a great way to expose the Fandom to the creative minds who keep spreading the magic of the Force throughout the universe,” adds Edwin Fernandez, manager of CMI Toys ‘Star Wars Memorabilia’ division.

You can meet Christian Macht at at Star Wars Celebration V by visiting CMI Toys at booth number #103. Also appearing at the booth throughout the weekend is Ana Aesthetic, a sci-fi inspired fashion designer and model with a strong following among fans of the Steampunk and Cosplay genres.  

Star Wars Celebration V will be held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, on August 12-15, 2010. For details on Christian Macht or Ana Aesthetic’s appearances at this event, visit www.cmitoys.com.
