...you, me and even some French friends of mine who are coming over especially to see Carrie - now thats committment (or love? ) Cant wait!!!!!!!!!

Jedi eh, not only the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy...abut protectors of those in costume too!

mate - thats the whole idea of going in costume! To be a character that you understand, respect and enjoy. People dress up as anything from Zombies to Mermaids! I have never met with anyone who has put me down for dressing as a Jedi. I was stood in a newsagents near the GMEX back in Feb and a gang of about 5/6 lads 'on the town' came in, at first I could see that it was a bit of a shock to see a Jedi in a newsagents, but after a few seconds I got nothing but 'wow - that looks great - I always wanted to be a Jedi. Where do you get this stuff from?' and they left patting me on the back and buzzing! Yes, I admit, it can be a little strange at first, but once you have been wearing it for a few hours you will feel comfortable and positively enjoy the experience to be 'someone else' for a day. How often do you get the chance? These days I look for opportunities to wear costume! I even had to beg my nephew to take me out at Halloween so I could whiz around in the dark with lightsabers! Star Trek is equally well recognised, liked and respected. Ive seen some great looking Trek costumes -in and out of conventions If you are a little wary, then I would even offer for you to join us Jedi on the day and come around with us if you like to start off till you feel confident? You'll find that people wearing costume will largely have a lot in common and its good to chat. You can always carry a change of clothes with you if you feel you really dont like it after a bit. Nothing ventured - nothing gained. Be brave. Be yourself. You're unique. Wear costume!

dude! will be great to see you again! this time I hope its not such a rush around...didnt get much chance to chat last time....looking forward to seeing you as an Agent - the pics I have seen so far look smart! of course, no problems - we arent camera shy...but we may expect a small donation to our nominated charity...lol

Have a guess? (But no blaster - how uncivilised!)

yipee for the Potters!!!! The Potter and Jedi Alliance wil once more make its mark at the GMEX! Looking forward to meeting up again with you guys! We are having a birthday night out on the town on the Saturday night (18th) - you are more than welcome to bring your brooms!!!

Corran a fairie? Heresy!

fantastic! didnt manage to catch up with you - you should have popped by the stand! next time! It was a great event though and very busy, so I totally understand that there was a lot to see over the 2 days...I struggled to fit it all in and ended up missing 'Hurley' on the Saturday, who I would have loved to have met.

....all I will say is that it wll definately be a 'Return of the Jedi'....we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience in February and will definately be back! Well done Showmasters!

..I take it that no one had a camera there that day....

Just like the film dude - we will be back - Return of the Jedi!

...and this was us....but has anyone got better pics from the front?

Tall Paul - I think that I know who you mean now.....PM me.....I dont want to bring her over here without good cause.... I was the Jedi on the stall possibly next to Fortress......

is this the lady you meant?

anyone have any pics of the competition please - I was one of the Jedi, but even though we have "Force powers", we couldnt take any pics of ourselves!!!! thanks anyone!

...my boots????? They needed insoles after day 1 - my feet ached! I feel for anyone who has to wear them day in, day out....give me a great pair of DC Shoes any day....but you dont see many Jedi in them though do you...?

ey up! I need some Jedi Fred pics pls!

Hi everyone! What a great weekend all round and thanks to all the guests and crew that made it happen (especially to Waterboy - Paul! Hero!) Here are some of my piccies...does anyone have any good shots of the Jedi at the Costuming Competition please? I didnt get any... (I was in it!!!) Greetings to the Harry Potter crowd - Sam especially - how are your achy feet now?! Chris Judge - Stargate Michael Shanks - Stargate Me and Ray Park - Star Wars (what a fantastic friendly guy!) Paul Darrow - Blakes 7 Me and Avery Brooks - Star Trek DS9 - he is THE MAN! Brent Spiner - Star Trek TNG

I have got to say that I snapped up pics all over the weekend, both when I bought autos and even when I wasnt - I had no problems whatsoever and can only say that all the crew and guests were fantastic and helpful throughout! I must say a big thanks to Ray Park and Paul Darrow - heroes from my youth and recent times, who were more than obliging to chat and have a picture taken - free of any obligations, demands or hassle! What a fantastic weekend - well done all! Will be back in November! Ray Park Paul Darrow

I'm driving there too from the North East, navigation c/o a mixture between The AA and good road sense! lol

Deansgate Lock - not far from the GMEX - Home of the Jedi for Saturday Night!!!

cool - the more Jedi the better! There will also be a couple of us from the Rebel Legion UK Outpost there too in costume. Will be great to meet up with you UKG dudes too - looking forward to the party if you are staying over?!!!

I just my advance tickets in the post today! Yipeeee! Cant wait!

Nice one - if you are from Manchester then can we have a night off from using 'The Force' please and trust in you to direct us around the place.... I am sure that there is a beer in it!!!!

...Taking on the Jedi...? Now if you are a wizard I would say that you should be siding with us.....now if you are a Deatheater...thats a different thing....! Bring it on! Lol Cant wait to meet all you guys - its gonna be a great weekend!!!! Manchester wont know what has hit it!!!!
