Nearly six months after their initial, historic Daily Show power summit, Jon Stewart and George Lucas apparently have some unfinished business to attend to. Hence today's news that the duo will reconvene this summer at Star Wars Celebration V, the annual fan gathering down in Orlando. Relive their first pas de deux after the jump, and dry-clean your Chewbacca outfit in preparation for an hour-long Round Two.
The convention runs Aug. 12-15 in Orlando, and it has pretty much all the orgiastic fanboy offerings you can conjure (costume contest, "celebration chapel," Carrie Fisher appearance). But Stewart and Lucas are the main event -- no, really, their conversation is actually called The Main Event -- and lest you think Stewart won't cover the most pressing issues affecting the Star Wars subculture, you can submit your own inquiries for Lucas at the Celebration's Web site. Make sure they weren't asked already in the video below; redundancy isn't very Jedi-like.
