A Celebration of Star Wars: Episode XI: The Conference Strikes Back happened at DePaul University downtown. With keynote speakers Claudia Gray and Carmelo Esterrich, there were a ton of fun topics centered around Star Wars. Chicago Force attended and then ran around the corner to Graham Crackers comics for Free Comic Book Day. Then a delicious dinner afterwards, a great day was had by all.
