lee_c00per Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 (edited) Empire Day is exactly 6 weeks away and i cannot wait. The idea of soeme first time PUBLIC signers sounds cool and are interested to see what Showmasters come up with. I am pleased that the Garrison will be there, at they really add to the feel of an event like this. With alot of guests probabily going to go who i haven't met before, i hope i get time to go to a couple of Talks and Q&A Sessions. There are a few guests who i will love to attend Empire Day and hopefully SM an make it happen. Silas Carson is someone who does do Signing events but i have never seen or heard of him doing one. Maybe this could be his first? Chris Parsons and Paul Blake would be fantastic aswell as it means that all of the living Bounty Hunters would be together. Plus, i need their autos. I think a few people would also like a few past SM guests to return like Amy Allen, Jake Lloyd and Bruce Spence. They would all be cool as i am now starting to collect guests from the Prequals. What does everyone else think? Who would you like to attend Empire Day? Do you intend to go and what are you expecting from the event?

The_camp_predator Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 (edited) Silas Carson is someone who does do Signing events but i have never seen or heard of him doing one. Maybe this could be his first? 874380[/snapback] Silas has done signings before at a certain event held in Birmingham, I know as this was where I met him. I don't think that he does too many cons though so could be a rare signer for Showmasters to get. Last I heard he had a small part in Coronation street didn't he? Don't know if he is still in it or not. Unfortunatley, Empire day is too far away for me to travel (living up north), which is gutting as my main area of collecting is Star Wars.

flinty Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 loads more guests to be announced i have heard(double figures)but no mr. hamill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee_c00per Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 (edited) Orignially, SM said that they were expecting to get around 30 guests. 10 have been announced already, so we can at least expect another 20 or so. Mark Hamill WILL happen at some point but i think it would be at either LFCC or Collectormaina. I am hoping for Billy Dee Williams as Carrie Fisher is meant to be at the Florida FX Show Edited October 2, 2005 by lee_c00per Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee_c00per Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 OK Guy's and Girl's. In another Thread someone ask Jason at the weekend about Empire Day and how many guests there should be. According to Jason, he hopes to have 30 signers PLUS 8 main guests who don't normally do signings. I am hoping for Michael Pennington, Jimmy Smitts, Silas Carson, Hayden Christensen, Michael Culver, Frank Oz, Amhed Best and Richard Marquand I would say Ewan McGregor, Ian McDiarmid and Dennis Lawson but i doubt they will still do it. Who would you like the 8 guests to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenthejedi Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Id like to see hayden christensen and mark hamill there but i dont think thats going to happen. I dont think Ewan Mcgregor will ever do a con Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Lunch Box Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I would say Ewan McGregor, Ian McDiarmid and Dennis Lawson but i doubt they will still do it. 875342[/snapback] I seriously doubt any of the above will be there. In fact I will go so far as to say that they will not be there. *prays SMs can prove him wrong* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee_c00per Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 I think Jet Lucas should be there. However, i think he is too young to come on a plane to the UK on his own. Maybe his Father could accompany him? Not sure what his name is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_2_cool Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Hello, I'm hopefully going to Empire Day 2005. This would be my first con . I don't really know what to expect. Do many of the public come in costume ? Any tips or things to do when going to a con ? Thanks very much Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee_c00per Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 Depending on how many guests you want to meet, get an earlybird ticket so that you can get in up to 2 hours early. This will allow you get get Virtual Queing tickets for the BIG guests that attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightymax Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Well lets see if they announce anyone!

Doc Bones Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Hi Too Tall, Here's a question that you won't have an answer to....... WHAT'S GOING ON???!!! Less than a fortnight to an event and only 30% of the promised payload of guests announced!!! Not like SM to be this slow! I know "never ask if this is all the guests" but you have to admit, this is very worrying to say the least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted November 1, 2005 Showmasters Admin Share Posted November 1, 2005 I have to agree it is very odd, and in this case ask away. I really have no idea what is going on. I've sent SM Towers a mail. I'll post when I get any answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
