TerraHawk Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I should be annoyed as I'm not doing the event, but in actual fact since it's close enough to overkill (and would be pricy for me) I can live with out it. All I can say is phew - had they all been at the LFCC it would have cost me a fortune! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicky Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Are there people out there who want to meet every single person that had anything to do with the making of a Star Wars film? They must be spending loads on getting posters signed,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abstractharmony Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Are there people out there who want to meet every single person that had anything to do with the making of a Star Wars film? They must be spending loads on getting posters signed,. There are...I'm not one of them but they are out there. For an isolated Stormtrooper piece though It's ideal and a very welcome gesture. I'm presently part of a very small private signing on a Stormtrooper piece and a lot of work has been put into this so it's great that that work can bear fruit with the mighty SM Juggernaut getting them all in one place for UK fans and poster fans to get them all. I for one will no doubt be getting the Kurtz/Joiner piece and probably my SW 'Tart' (she'll take anyone) poster signed. Ch-Ching!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froz1 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Are there people out there who want to meet every single person that had anything to do with the making of a Star Wars film? They must be spending loads on getting posters signed,. I'm one of those people! I am in the process of getting a rare banner poster (about 3 metres long!!!) signed by anyone who has anything to do with Star Wars - that includes novels, games, cartoons, EVERYTHING, not just the movies. So this annoucement has both made my day; and at the same time has me recoiling in horror at the sudden increase in money needed for the event!

Marky242 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I am also one of those people. Star Wars plays a big part in my life so I want everyone on my posters - big or small! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylover Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 same here! and I wont answer to every announcements so Ill say it here: thanks for the SW guests ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzlerjames Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I've resisted the urge to get the "bit parters" to sign my poster so far and only gettting the "main" characters or popular characters (ie bounty hunters etc) but I've not got a sig on it for a few years (since Mark Hamil and Rick McCallum) so it probably needs some more. It would depend on the price though - when I first started collecting Jeremy Bulloch and Kenny baker were £3 each!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BACYLON Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 What a good idea, certainly something different to add to the ever increasing SW collection. Hope each trooper is able to recognise themselves and sign in the right place!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraHawk Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Are there people out there who want to meet every single person that had anything to do with the making of a Star Wars film? They must be spending loads on getting posters signed,. Oh I've got lesser names than that in my collection, it they were within reach I'd get them. But the event's not in reach so I don't mind on this occasion. But I do find it slightly odd when the Empire celebration is looking frankly a bit lacklustre, the same organisers put so much effort into a different event. C16 will be hard to top, the night is still young though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyT Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Are there people out there who want to meet every single person that had anything to do with the making of a Star Wars film? They must be spending loads on getting posters signed,. Kid's stuff! You try tracking down all the extras in Ghandi! (Not to mention finding a poster large enough for them to all sign) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauron Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) Any star wars guest is great! Would be great to see Drewe Henley, Angus MacInnes, Richard Le Parmentier, Paul Blake, Maria de Aragon and Jack Klaff would be nice :) Edited March 8, 2010 by Sauron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lodsy Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Is Drewe Henley still alive?? I know he's been ill for many years, and was running a B&B with his wife in Devon. He used to get involved in the Star Wars charity conventions in Devon, although I don't think there's been one of those for a few years now.

There hasn't even been an event since dear old Michael Sheard sadly died, they lost heart a bit after that, as he was honorary president. But even then Drewe hasn't done a Devon event in the last decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think after Denis Lawson, Drewe Henley is my #1 most wanted guest for a show (only considering people who would actually do it aka not Ford, etc.). Considering Kershner and Harryhausen have made appearances, I would love to see Henley follow suit with a one-day appearance. Stuart and Kay Freeborn would be amazing too but I think he's in worse health than Drewe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
