Skylover Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 theres a rumor about Hamill not coming in England cause the event organisers here dont want to pay him his big fee or dont want to have a guest asking for more than 25/30£ per auto but since Buzz Aldrin will be around 100£ at ur event, why not having Hamill too? Im sure he would be even more popular what do u think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I have heard many rumours on this. Theres always a buzz that surprise guests will be Hamill but then there is always that rumour that because he may charge a lot of money then many are reluctant to book him. As his autograph from private signings you can order can set you back £100 or more sometimes I for one would be more than happy to pay £30 even £50 to meet Hamill and get an autograph and Im sure that many other Star Wars fans would too. I hope one day he will come over, you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee_c00per Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I reckon he wouldn't be more than £50. The only two people who i would pay more than £50 for an auotgraph is Ian McDiarmid and Harrison Ford. I would pay up to £50 for Hamil, Frank Oz and Samual L Jackson Up to £30 for Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, Christopher Lee, Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman And up to £25 for Silas Carson, Jimmy Smitts and Anthony Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGreen Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Met him at a show in America earlier this year, he was charging equivalent of £35 - £40 from memory. He was a really nice guy though, did a great talk, really friendly and chatty at the auto and photo sessions as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee_c00per Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Yes but Carrie Fisher and Billy Dee Williams was £25 at Collectormania 6 and Anthony Daniels was £20 at Collectables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aww i really want him to do a uk con now, I would defintly play £50 for him considering he is the main character from the original trilogy, i think the mk collectormania has a better chance of getting him because he's intreasted in attendance levels and its located in a shopping centre so passing people will try to meet him, many people would que in the small hours to meet him. I know i would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGreen Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 If they did get him at MK, I hope they do a talk as in the USA, because just getting him to sign for 3 days and not hear all his stories about his work current and past would be such a shame.

Manbeast Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 yeah he'd have to do a talk, cant remember carrie or billy doing one. Did you get his auto? do you know if he signs "luke skywalker" cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee_c00per Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 No way would there be a talk with Mark Hamill. Carrie and Billy didn't do one. They go, do the signings, get paid and are on the first plane back to the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr jones Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I reckon Mark Hamill will come over to the UK soon and do a signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGreen Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 yeah he'd have to do a talk, cant remember carrie or billy doing one. Did you get his auto? do you know if he signs "luke skywalker" cheers It was on a picture of him as Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi and he personalised it to me, then put Forcefully Yours ,Mark Hamill. I don't remember there being a restriction, but I do know at the time there was some debate on whether he would personalise or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crostini Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 i've heard that he'll only sign about 300-400 items a day so maybe thats why he hasnt been invited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old bloke Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Met him at a show in America earlier this year, he was charging equivalent of ?35 - ?40 from memory. He was a really nice guy though, did a great talk, really friendly and chatty at the auto and photo sessions as well. 842323[/snapback] I too was at that show, and had a photo op just to meet him, and can confirm he is a great guy and would be a good guest, his auto I am sure would be no more than £35.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee_c00per Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Billy Dee Williams is the only Main Guy who writes his character. Mamill, Fisher and Ford don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crostini Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 carrie has a very hectic schedule being a writer as well as an actress Harrison hasn't done a signing convention since the late 70's Hamill well don't know why he doesnt the problem is that he costs too much to bring over here, accomodation etc. he was offered the chance at C6 but was too expensive.
