Starlog Salutes Star Wars




The inaugural officially sanctioned Star Wars gathering, known as **Starlog Salutes Star Wars_ or the _Star Wars**_ 10th anniversary convention, served as a "10th Anniversary Tribute to George Lucas and the Galaxy Far, Far Away Which He Created." This event transpired at the Stouffer Concourse Hotel situated in Los Angeles, California, spanning from May 23 to May 25, 1987. Starlog Magazine and Creation Conventions took on the responsibility of organizing it. George Lucas himself was present. In an unexpected turn, Gene Roddenberry, the mind behind Star Trek, made an appearance as a guest, leading to Dan Madsen capturing the only existing photo of the two creators together.
