lukeowl Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I think SM really need to go hell for leather to try and find a decent level Star Wars guest for the show. Someone along the lines of Ray Park, Peter Mayhew, Jake Lloyd, etc - the lineup is great but lots of Star Wars fans from the forums I use simply won't come just for the background signers and regular attenders that are still listed attendees. Come on SM - You can do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verem Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Agreed there mate - but it is less than two weeks away now so not sure what can be done . It is a shame about the cancellation especially as he was the first guest announced months ago. He was the reason I was attending but still will be going (hotel already booked and paid for, time booked off work etc) but still gonna have a blast and event still looks excellant. Maybe the showmasters guys will get one of the guests they mentioned in the poll a few weeks back (Christopher Lee, Hayden Christenson). Heres hoping.

phil_wilce Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Its a shame that he had to cancel, but there are plenty of other guests that i am interested in meeting, so while i'm a bit disappointed, these things happen ut there is no way i'mgoing to miss this event. That said, I would LOVE to meet Carrie Fisher, now that would be an amazing guest:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Agreed, this could be the first time that my star wars art print stays at home as no other sigs I want to put on it at present. Still there are plenty more guests for me to spend my money on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted June 26, 2011 Moderators Share Posted June 26, 2011 I knew people that were meeting him for Green Lantern, so they might want a GL replacement. It's very tricky to replace a guest like-for-like if they've been in a few things, as it won't please all fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I would LOVE to meet Carrie Fisher, now that would be an amazing guest:) With you on that one - I saw her at my first cons about 8 years ago in London (Billy Dee Williams was near her to) but wasnt collecting autos back then - always regretted not getting her auto. Then she was back 5 or so years ago but I was at the cons with my three year old son and it was a very hot day so didnt think the two hour queue was a good idea. Would love to meet her- may even wear a slave costume for the event!!!!- But Im 6 foot 1 so may be hard to find one, and have to shave off my beard to......!

bunny-summers Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Yeah but...and prepare to get lynched as I say this but... do you really? At pretty much EVERY (and i'm not even exaggerating) event I have been to there has always been at least one good Star Wars guest. Surely it's ok for there not t be one at one event? I'm a Buffy fan and I don't get a Buffy guest at pretty much every event. You SW guys are generally really lucky and I'm sure that Temurra will be back.

ericsdonor Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I may well get lynched with you, ^^^^^^^^ but I wholeheartedly agree with everything you've just said!!! As a Buffy, Angel & Firefly fan, it always saddens me that there really aren't that many guests at any of these events and they are much more recent than Star Wars, so yes I think the SW fandom is catered for really well!!!! Cue said lynching!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know how you guys feel LOTR fan here whos met the regulars and now needs the yankies to complete her hobbit collection. XD Best thing to do is wait and see. Showmasters wont confirm if they have anyone else in the pipeline till theyve signed the contracts but I highly doubt theyve stopped ringing agents and such to get last min guests. They did it with ET4 and theyll do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicholasKovari Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 It would be really great to get some more big Star Wars guests as I mainly just meet them. Also, as said earlier, it would be nice to see some LOTR guests (I wouldn't mind the regulars as I've only just started going to conventions).

ClockworkOwen18 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Not a huge Star Wars fan myself, but I would be more than happy for some LOTR guests to appear. I would get Natalie to sign my massive Black Swan poster, but like someone previously mentioned, I doubt she ever will attend a convention and it is a highly unrealistic suggestion anyway. Rik Mayall or Malcolm McDowell however......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
