Late May-June would have been a good time, but that conflicts to much with Star Wars Weekends in Disney and they don't want to do that.
People should realize that ANY date chosen is going to have conflicts.
Pick any time in June and it conflicts with graduations, Father's Day, and weddings.
Pick May and proms and final exams get in the way. Pick September and the majority of kids are back in school full-swing.
Pick July and SDCC, hot weather, and Fourth of July creep in.
So when is the right time exactly?

But I hate the tone of posts that suggest that Lucasfilm is shooting itself in the foot, isn't considerate of its fans, or is all about greed. They are under no obligation to put on any kind of convention or celebration.
I am bringing my little Vode Redboy, we need to get them all rounded up for a shoot!
Was thinking the same thing. I'll be bringing my wife and my daughter and make it a Disney/StarWars Celebration.
Me too Turo! This is why it IS a great idea for many of us with families because we can combine a geek trip with a family vacation to Disney World.
As for the timing... look, not all of us could afford two big convention vacations in one year anyway. Regardless of whether CV was in May or August, I was only going to be able to afford one con. I'm chosing the one that's only held once every few years and that I can take my 11 year old daughter to.
Regardless of when and where it was it was always gonna be difficult for me (being all the ways over here in Scotland) but I don't mind. It'll be worth it when I get there and there's all those Fetts!!!
*swoons*
I haven't been this excited since I wandered innocently into the fett costuming panel at CIII
That is why there was a Celebration Europe, so we could be selfish and not feel guilty about it!About the timing of the celebration... It doesn't matter when to me. I could not make the last one because it was just too far away. It is closer to me now so I will go... but maybe the reason it's in August is because many other countries (especially in Europe) have August as everyones vacation time. Star Wars is a world wide phenomenon. I think we forget that. Anyway... its another part of the equation.
