Richie Rich Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) OK... I'm sure this has probably been a post before... but i am curious. How many signatures have you got on your Star Wars poster and who was the nicest and most miserable guest you met? I have got only 2 signatures on my poster so far... but before i got the poster i met a few others from Star Wars that i hope to meet again so they can sign it. On my poster I have: Peter Mayhew Ray Park But on photos' i have got Peter Mayhew Ray Park Dave Prowse Kenny Baker Warwick Davis Jeremy Bullock The nicest person i met was Kenny Baker... he was funny... as soon as he saw me he asked me if i wanted to hang myself (I know, it's a bit random)... so when i said "Yeah, why not" he looked at me and asked why... so I said "Well at least you would remember me for it" he just laughed and looked at the security guard that was there and said "Go and get the rope... we have got one"... The grunmpiest was Peter Mayhew... he was just very quiet and just seemed like he couldn't be bothered to be there. What about you guys? Sorry if this has been done before...

Lennybear Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I have 40 autos on one poster By far the best was Barrie Holland a really nice bloke. Anthony Daniels was great too. A few miserable guests as follows Carrie Fisher Bruce Boa Billy Dee Williams Alec Guinness refused to sign my poster when i sent it to him through the post in 1997 but did send me back two signed index cards and a letter so i was well pleased with that.

Sauron Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Erm i've got most star of the Star Wars guests SM have had at their events and Christopher Lee and Ian McDiarmid on my posters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzlerjames Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Alec Guinness was a miserable old git - you're lucky you got anything signed at all. Me and my friends had to hang around outside his estate to get anything signed and even then he wasn't pleased about it - and we made sure we mentioned some of his other work too!! Peter Mayhew goes one way or the other can be great or miserable, no inbetween although recently he has been in alot of pain with his back! The best meets are Jeremy Bullough (I always spell that wrong!), Warwick Davies and Michael Sheard. I have a original trilogy poster signed by about 30 odd actors including Mark Hamills across the middle. There are a few names missing - ie Ford, Lucas, Oz and McDiarmid and obviously those that are no longer with us. Better still I had a christmas card from Lucasfilm this year which was nice!

Indiana Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I didn't bother starting a poster as I thought it would be too difficult to complete. Have collected many on 10 x 8 and action figures over the years though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightymax Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I have met most of the guests that SM have arranged apart from missing the Empire days as it was always difficult to get there. The best guest that I have met was Warwick Davis I was standing in line (this was elsewhere not SM event) and a young lad had a Harry Potter book, the lad was very polite and Warwick was chatting away telling him about the different things that went on whilst making the film. He signed the lads book and his mom went to hand over the money and he just looked at her and refused to take it and explained that he had been so polite and he enjoyed his chat with him that it didn't seem right. I thought that was such a nice thing to do and showed that it’s not always about the money. My favourite autograph has to be Hamill and Prowse the photo is from Return of the Jedi the lightsaber dual, where they clash sabers with the window in the background, it's signed in gold italic paint pen (the fine nibs so the signature is clear, which is better than the italic sharpies). Kenny Baker is always a pleasure to meet, I have met him several times and his wife (Val) is such a nice person as well. As per others comments Peter can be a little grumpy but I think it’s more to do with his health rather than not like being at an event. Matthew Wood, Matt Sloan and Sandi Finlay are also nice to meet and chat. Also if you ever get the chance to meet Brian Blessed just DO IT! You will have the most entertaining chats ever!! For the 1,2,3 I have got posters which I am slowly building up I have got a few on photos like Ahmed Best as it was all I had at the time of the opportunity. For the original sequel I tend to get photos as the films are dearer to me. The people that I would love to meet apart from the obvious Lucas, Oz and Ford are Christopher Lee, Ian McDiarmid, Jake Lloyd and John Williams (no 4-6 as I have met everyone that I really want to meet, apart from the odd few for completion).

I know it's not the same but if you're missing him I believe Frank Oz and John Williams both sign through the post if you send them something and they normally personalise.

Yeh I have heard that, thing is I would like an 8x10 signing and I would like my posters as well and I don't fancy the risk of loosing them and also I feel cheeky sending a bucket load of stuff asking to be signed. I know a certain website had agreed with John Williams and Frank Oz to sign. I ordered John Williams and had everything packed to send and then he cancelled and I completely missed the chance with Frank Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Wow. Since I made my last post here in 2009, I gave in and started a poster and now have 87 signatures on it, including Harrison Ford and Frank Oz. But I'm running out of room fast. I'd like to get George Lucas and John Williams on it before I retire it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraHawk Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I don't do a poster for Star Wars just annuals - 30th Anni, TPM, ATOC and have more than 150 for the orignal trilogy. That's semi retired now. I have 40 in the TPM book and 16 in the ATOC book. Iv'e got a Doctor Who DVD cover signed by 41 though, I should have quit that one sooner!

GoldenGreen Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I have a couple of signed Star Wars Posters, I did start one for each of the films, but they just became a bit of a pain to carry about and on balance I think I prefer to have autos on 10x8s. Auto wise, on the posters are Kenny Baker, Warwick Davis, Dave Prowse, Richard Le Parmentier, Jake Lloyd , Tim Ruscoe and a few others. I also have a signed Wookie Poster signed by Peter Mayhew and Mike Kingma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) I decided never to do the individual film posters, but instead chose an image to represent the OT and then the PT, and will probably do the same with the new Sequel Trilogy. I did the same with the first three Indiana Jones films. I haven't started getting a Crystal Skull one done though. Only first three films for me! *edited for typo* Edited February 21, 2014 by Indiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
