I can completely understand it why Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson wouldn’t want to appear at the ‘Twilight’ conventions with the cheating scandal still getting so much attention. I’m not so sure why Taylor Lautner opted out, too, but none of the three ‘Twilight’ leads will appear at the final four ‘Twilight’ conventions scheduled before the release of ‘Breaking Dawn Part 2.’ Creation Entertainment, which organizes the conventions, put out the following statement:

“The passion and dedication of Twilightfandom has been amazing and we’re out to throw one last giant convention, a final gathering to see old friends that have made up the Twilight family. Although Rob, Kristen and Taylor will not be with us this time out we will have a super line-up of other Twilightstars and the weekend will be filled with special events, movie prop and costume displays, contests, panels, auctions, parties, exclusive merchandise, music and much more, including some surprises!”

The conventions are being held in San Antonio (August 25), Detroit (September 29), Parsippany, New Jersey (October 5), and Los Angeles (November 3). I understand why they wouldn’t want to appear, but it seems like they should do it for the fans. I could understand them not appearing together or even at the same convention, but with this being the final conventions, their appearances would be a great final “thank you.”
