lee_c00per Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 I saw John in Rotherham aswell last year and he really scared me. I didn't want to get his autograph as i have no interest in Costume people ect but he kept asking me at various times of the day whether i wanted his auto. I couldn't just say NO, so i said that i was going to get him at another point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie1138 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) he scared you? in what way? good point,bounty hunter... and you bring up a very interesting question. are these events,ie empire day,purely for the autograph collectors or star wars fans in general? like,would you stay for the q&a session and a star wars quiz show? hey,what's it all about,really... and just think,leecooper,what would the stars have worn if there had been nobody to design the costumes?

Anything else is a bonus, though if I have to travel a long way then I'll probably want to head home as soon as I've done those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee_c00per Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 He didn't SCARE me as such but he kept asking me about 6 times during the day whether i wanted his autograph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylover Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I prefere to get an original drawing than an autograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounty Hunter Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I have just sent out attendance requests to 7 actors, who have not been at Empire Day before. I know, I know, I cannot reveal any names just yet (only when they decline definately will I reveal their names) and that must be annoying, but I figured you all had a right to an update. As soon as any of these 7 agrees, I'm sure Jason will announce them immediately! Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr jones Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Cool Look forward to hearing the updates hopefully they all decide to come. So as your going to let us know which ones decline can you let us know which are the two that declined before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosfer2 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 If I undersood correctly the previous two did not definitely decline, they just declined the current date so may turn up to a later event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounty Hunter Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Exactly! So far no one has declined definitely and they have been re-invited. I'll keep you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee_c00per Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 Any news from the potential signers Mark? Are we talikng Sequal or Prequal guests? I hope Michael Culver is in that list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flinty Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 hugh quarshie,scott capurro(as he practically lives over here anyway as he spends so much time here),anthony daniels a rare signer and always has a big queue and someone like michaella cottrell would also be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzic Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 You don't see Leslie Schofield around very much at conventions (I believe he was at a previous CM edition), why not ask him to make an attendance at the next ED? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee_c00per Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 I met Leslie at C7 and he only appeared on the Saturday. He was great, not very chatty but was nice. Got his auto on an 8x10. I so badly want to meet him again so i can get him on a poster. He might not do mnay signings as he is too busy filming the smoking room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosfer2 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 He was supposed to be there the day I attended but he was a no show so I haven't met him yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr jones Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 michaella cottrell did a signing before so im sure she would do another one. I actually got a phone call from her husband Mike Cottrell who randomly found my number and rang me telling me about his film roles etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flinty Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 how long ago did he ring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr jones Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 how long ago did he ring? 953405[/snapback] Along time ago now probaly about 2 maybe even 3 years ago - It was just very strange that he got my number and rung me to tell me about his film roles. But was cool to hear about all the films he worked on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounty Hunter Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 No news yet, folks. I have to abide by the rules : announcements by SM first. I'm sure you all understand. And yes, they are from both the Prequels and the Classics. Some of the people I'm currently talking to have NEVER made any public appearance! Finger's crossed!

Bounty Hunter Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 It's slow going. I have 3 interested parties, but they couldn't yet accept as it's too far in the future and they do not yet know their schedule. Patience, my Padawan :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
