 Hey friends, today we are hanging out at Star Wars Celebration 2023 right here in London. This is the largest Star Wars fan gathering out there and there are going to be some amazing cosplayers and awesome vendor boots that I cannot wait to show you and then later on we're going to head down and explore more of the beautiful city of London and just have an amazing London kind of day. Anywho's, let's go do this. This is my first Star Wars Celebration and I'm so excited to share it with you guys and it's awesome that it's in Europe. It does change. The location changes. I think last one was in Anaheim and it's going to be an amazing day. I'm sure we'll see lots of cool cosplayers. I'm here with Roosevelt so I'll be hanging around the Roosevelt's booth for most of the time but I kind of just want to wander around and check out all the cool things and I'm excited to go hang out in London later on and maybe get something to eat and visit some more pubs and really cool touristy spots that I wasn't able to go to on my first trip. We still have a lot to do. I'm here for a while and I'm loving it so far. We're going to head right on in and luckily I am an exhibitor because the line to actually get in here is crazy. Wait till I show you. There are so many people here. I am kind of blown away by it. Look at how many people are queued up for the start of Star Wars Celebration. Holy moly that is a lot of people. Wow. As you can see you know what I'm talking about when I said this is the largest Star Wars fan gathering out there. That is so impressive and I cannot wait. There's going to be so many things to check out and I'm just kind of a little giddy and excited. There is everything from panels, autographs, gigantic props and it is impressive. Like I just walked in. This is just my walk in and I have already stopped and been amazed by some of the awesome cosplayers and it's only going to get better. Excel London is such a massive convention center. Like I've been to a lot over the past year. San Diego, LA, Comic Con, New York, Comic Con but this one is so unique because it's almost like a mall and that was actually really cool. I love that. Oh hello. Proceed. They have a lot of unique food stands but like I mentioned I want to go hang out in London later like in the city itself and I don't want to eat anything that's not like the good food. You know I don't want any convention food. I want some good London food. We're going to actually go check in at the Roosevelt's food over here in hall and nine and there's two different areas. I'm going to show you both and they'll both have some amazing like exhibitors that we're going to be looking at. I have seen a lot of Star Wars cosplays in the past but nothing compares to this actually here today. I am just always in shock around every corner here. Here is the Roosevelt's booth and it is incredibly busy. All day it's been like this and we have some awesome exclusive shirts. The one that's on the wall is the one that I'm wearing that's exclusive for today and there's going to be a new exclusive every single day. I'll try to show you the ones that we have coming up. This is really interesting. They actually have a droid racing experience here and I don't know when the next race is but they have all the droids and they've got a little race track here. Oh well we have to keep our eye out for this because I want to come back. I want to race some droids. I rushed back to the droid racing because I think they're about to have a race and I wanted to show you guys. Ready three two one go. Come on little guy you got this. Go. R2-D2 guys. Wow R2-D2 is killing it. R2-D2 lost the lead. Here are the judges here. Please one more lap to go. I had to switch out my shirt real quick to my favorite Roosevelt's pattern a tail of two Jedi. I love this shirt so much. I'm sure you guys saw me wear it a million times and the reason I'm switching over is because I'm going to go meet Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen both Obi-Wan and Darth Vader a tail of two Jedi's on my shirt and I am so excited. I'm going to meet them at the same time. This is unbelievable and I'm literally speechless. I'm not speechless. I'm talking a lot. I'm just very excited so we're going to go meet them right now and we get my photo with them. All the Mandalorian marched through the Excel was crazy. One of the funnest awesome things I've ever just stumbled upon. I can't even believe it was so cool and everyone was just getting out of the way like clearing a path as they did their thing and nobody interrupted the line like nobody broke the chain. That was so cool. Wow this I mean Star Wars Celebration is just I celebrate. It's amazing. I am so excited. This is a dream come true. Holy moly. It's happening. It's happening. Okay so I was rushing over here as fast as I can but unfortunately I missed Obi-Wan. I missed the Obi-Wan and Vader meetup but luckily for me I am going to be able to see the Emperor and Vader and that is going to be amazing together so we'll see Ian McDermott and Hayden and that is going to be just as cool. Wow here it is. I cannot believe I got to meet the Emperor and Darth Vader at the same time. This was so cool and they were very nice. They all said they liked my shirt and it was really cool. Hayden Christensen actually kind of gave me a little hug there and Ian put his arm on my shoulder. It was really awesome. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience and I'll never forget it. I ran into a friend and he wants to say hi to his daughter. So hi Megan. Hi Megan. Hi Cla, hope you're having a great day. Hope you're having a great day. Bye. I love coming and checking out the droid builders celebration. Look at all these amazing droids. This is impressive. The attention to detail is here. Like and this is only one part actually. There's so much more. I feel like it's impossible to pick out a favorite droid especially because there's so many of them. But really take a look at this. Isn't this so cool? Bye bye. Bye bye. Wow. This is so cool. I have never seen this many droids in one spot. I didn't think any of these actually moved until I caught one moving. Look at this. Oh. Oh Chewie's here. Chewie's here now. Holy moly. Wow. Wow. Take a look at that awesome ATST and the background too. This is like next level. I'm loving everything in this whole entire room over here. I'm getting lost everywhere I look. I'm like wow. Wow. Definitely feeling like Luke Wilson. Did I just say Luke Wilson? It's Owen Wilson. I think Luke Wilson's his brother actually. That's kind of funny. I'm like yeah, I sound like Luke Wilson. Look at how cool this is. Wow. I love it. Oh this is a photo opportunity actually too. You got Chewie in there. I'm just obsessed with the E-Blocks right here. This is really really awesome. I wonder if you have to pay for this or if this is free. You got C3PO sitting over there R2D2. It's really awesome. I mean it's cool that they put this together. I don't know if this is actually like a part of Lucasfilm or just a really awesome like fan gathering here. I ran into a friend. Look at this. I am in love and look at the shirt I'm wearing today too. You recognize the tribe. I love it. That is so cool. Thank you. There are so many different little stands and boots and exhibitors all over the place. I'm not even too sure where to start. This is a massive hall here. I also like how everything's black. It'd be cool if they had like the title reading on the floor because it kind of matches it you know. Like when you walk into Star Wars Launch Bay. That'd be really fun. Because today is the first day for the celebration. I thought I was gonna get a lot accomplished but honestly I really didn't get that much done and I'm okay with that because something way better happened. When I first got here I went straight to the Roosevelt's booth because I knew that there would be some people that wanted to say hi to me and I was thinking it would just be a handful of people but it was so much more than that and it was amazing. I got here at 9.30 a.m. and I stayed at that booth until 1.30. Just saying hi and meeting so many amazing people. It was the best. It was so awesome. If I got to say hi and you came out to see me thank you so much. You made this for me because this was honestly I feel like this is one of the best days I've ever had. Like I was smiling and talking and taking photos and it was so cool and like I said it's the first day so we have all weekend to cover some of the amazing things to do here but that right there that's the best thing for me. That was that was more than anything Star Wars Celebration can actually do for me. So thank you so much literally from the bottom of my heart. Thank you guys so much. Wow. Well this certainly is a great way to start off Star Wars Celebration. Look at this. All right looks like that's gonna be a wrap for day one. We are gonna start making our way out. Need to get something to eat though because I am starving. I am a little famished especially hanging out here at Star Wars Celebration and looking at all the food but like I don't want to eat the food here. I want to eat something outside the convention center. Look at that life size tie fighter there. You can actually sit in there. It might be a little cramped though but that's pretty epic. I decided to stop at my hotel and change into something a little bit warmer. It's a little bit cold out and there's an awesome like little tiny restaurant pub and I think it's called the Fox Knot. It's right next to Excel London and I think we're gonna go right over there and get something to eat and it looks really cool on the outside. Look at this place. Doesn't it look so cool? I don't know why. It's just like I don't know what was in this building before or if it's always been the Fox Knot but I love it here. It looks really really cool. This place is also a really popular spot for people to come to after the celebrations and it's really cool because they do like some meetups here. I know the 501st actually has a meetup here sometimes and you'll see a lot of people still dressed in their cosplay. Look at this. Here's a look at the menu. They've got sausages and mash which I think I'm going to get that. They've got mushroom bruschetta. They've got fish and chips, hunter's chicken, chicken tiki, masal. They've got the pies. They have chicken ham, hawk and leek pie. Oh and then on Sundays they've got the sundae roast. They still want to do a sundae roast so maybe that's what we'll do for Easter and yeah I think I'm going to get some sausage and mash. First time trying some I guess traditional banners and mash. I think they may call them here in the United Kingdom hopefully and everything's fairly price good like 11.95 for sausages and mash. I mean that's not a bad deal. I mean I'm used to paying 20 plus things for just like my local like neighborhood restaurant. David Stone, one of the actors from Star Wars is actually here signing and meeting people. It's really cool and he was one of the wookies. Look at him. He's right there with that fancy hat on. A very fancy hat. Here are my sausages and mash. It looks really good and got some kale there and I'm excited. I don't know what this is exactly. I'm sure it's some kind of gravy but I just want to try the sausages first so we're going to dive on in. In fact I'm going to cut it open. I'm going to cut it on this side. Let's see if I can just get a little bout of bing. Uh oh. I guess we're trying the gravy now so here we go. Oh wow. These sausages are so good and now we're going to try some of the mash and then the kale. Oh this mash looks pretty good too. There we go. Get a little of that special sauce on there. Oh no. Don't think I'll like that. This is delightful. I like this a lot. It's really good but I don't think it stands out compared to any sausages I've had over in the States. It's not something that I'm going to be like oh yeah I remember that dish. I remember that Foxknot sausage and mash. Do you know what I mean? I love how we have all these old school Star Wars fans just hanging out, gathered by the table over here. It's almost like they do this probably every single Star Wars celebration and I love that. It's just so cool. Maybe that'll be me in like 10 years. All right. Enough of the sausage business. We're going to actually take off and we are going to go see a band. We're actually going to be heading off and seeing a really fun band that our friend Nick, Nick who actually is a part of Bayside, he told us that there's going to be a show tonight and why not? You know, might as well. We had a great day at Star Wars Celebration, had some good food, now for a little nightlife. Jack the Chipper. All right. We have made it and I think it's called Brick Lane, the area that we are in and I like it a lot. It's really cool down here. The band's name is Tiger Cub and we're going to Rough Trade East. There we go. Unknown Moral Orchestra. Hello. This is really cool because the concert venue is kind of like a record store. I think the concert's back here. Look at this. I want to get a photo now. This is going to be fun. I'm excited. Oh boy. They have a Rough Trade photo booth here and look at all the photos on the outside of it. I got to do it. I'm doing it. Look at this. How'd it come out? Memories. Look at my phone picking up all the faces on here. Look at this. That's awesome. This venue is so awesome. I love it here and I think our photos came out perfect. Tiger Cub was a great band. Kind of sounded like Queens of the Stone Age and I love that type of music and now I think we're going to hang out in this little area. There's tons of different bars and nightlife and I really love it down here. It's really cool and I think I know why they call it Brick Lane because all the buildings are like brick. In fact, I've noticed a lot of London is all brick. Look, I've noticed that. I'm like, wow, there's a lot of bricks around here. I love the fact that Brick Lane has so many Indian restaurant. Look at this. We got Indian restaurant there. Brick Lane Tendori right there. Indian restaurant here. There's a lot of Indian restaurants in London. I'm starting to find out and I really like this whole area. This is a really cool spot. Is this Indian? Look, Curry Chef Award winner. There's literally like six Indian restaurants right next to each other. What's this one? The finest Indian cuisine. Look at that. We decided to keep hanging out around Brick Lane and we made our way down to Kill the Cat, a place for the beer curious. Why are we at a bar called Kill the Cat? I don't know. I'm a little frustrated because yep. I'm wondering, you know, but I have to say I think it's Curiosity Kill the Cat. Curiosity Kill the Cat. Yeah, but this is the smallest bar I think I've ever been in. In fact, they don't even have a bar. It's just a table with wine glasses on the inside. I like the hairpin. I like the hairpin legs though. Yeah, those are nice. Those are very fancy. Kill the Cat Modern. Yeah, look, Kill the Cat Modern. Kill the Cat was actually really awesome, but it's time to keep moving along. I'm really loving Brick Lane here. I'm starting to realize why they call it Brick Lane because it's a Brick Lane and this is actually through traffic. Somebody drives through here, right? Holy moly. I love this. This is really, really awesome. Oh, this is where we're going. We've had such an epic evening so far and I love how we're visiting all of these different parts of London. Like, I didn't even know like these places and areas actually existed and it's really like a big like eye-opener of the whole world that I cannot wait to just discover. Right down Brick Lane is the Pride of Spittle Fields and somebody described this as an old man pub and I am here for it. This is pretty amazing. I can't wait to actually show you the inside of it and any bar that actually has carpet is a bar that's for me. Look at this. And with that I think we are done here today. What an amazing day we did have though. Star Wars Celebration was fantastic and I cannot wait for 2025. I'm definitely going to come back and do it. I hear rumors that it may be in Orlando so that would be really cool because that's our backyard and then also going out and hanging out with friends. It was an epic night and I'm so happy that I'm able to actually make a video and share it with you guys because these are also memories that I want to have so that I can look back on but also I want to provide it for you guys for entertainment. So I hope you guys enjoyed the video. We're going to have a lot more stuff to do. Like I said, we're going to be doing more stuff in London and then also a couple of other big surprises that I can't wait to actually show you. So I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye. Something else I really wanted to add into this video was the special Star Wars Celebration After Party Cantina 2 and it's going to be a fun time. It's going to be live music, DJ Ellie. It's going to be rockin the stage and Roosevelt is actually sponsoring the event and I had to show you guys because it's just it's pretty remarkable. We're at the Indigo at the O2 and wait till you see it in here. If you're a Star Wars fan along with a live music band, look at this. I was dancing, singing, waving around a lightsaber. I picked one right up off the ground. They handed out a bunch of phone ones and I was like, oh boy. Look, I'm losing my voice. I was screaming really loud and I'm hot and sweaty. Hot and sweaty. Hot and sweaty. Coming in.
