Pir8Jenny Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Apologies for not quoting -- the thread is moving too fast and I wanted to keep up. :) - I thought Julie Andrews too (because of the "Ever" and the "Happy" in the clues) but she has done book signings -- quite a few, really. - I googled whether Ian McKellen did a book signing and picked up photos of a signing he did in Los Angeles in 2002. (It was at a book store. I do not believe it was private.) - (I still want to think that "hobby" line is another clue, but it appears I am alone on this.)

R4wly97 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Maybe it’s another musical guest like Meatloaf?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of the relationship they may have with the organiser? It does happen so don't automatically discount it. Richard Dean Anderson, the main character on Stargate had refused to do events for decades because of a bad experience early on. When he finally decided to do one it was in the UK with a British organiser as she had been working behind the scenes with them for years and she was friends with a group who organised individual events for Amanda Tapping. So she managed to persuade him to do it with these organisers and it was a huge deal to Stargate fans that he was finally doing an event. 18 minutes ago, Chris1970 said: Depends on who you ask, what is legendary? For me it could be one certain guest, for you someone else, for a third a totally different one. Multi-genre cons are very much up to what you think. I am not saying DR is legendary guest, but for someone it could be. Well, we just have to wait and see on Wednesday if it is a legendary guest. In my view. I know what you mean as it always comes up - what is big for one, isn't for another - but most reasonable people can agree on someone begin designated 'legendary'. I have no interest in collecting SW at all but I know how amazing and momentous it would be if it's Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a bargain, current price for an "officially licensed" sitdown graph starts around 800, and goes up depending on the item, posters are over a grand. Hence my guess of a potential diamond pass for him being 1000+. At 500 a pop i would get everything i needed done, and i am sure plenty more people would, he would sell out in a heartbeat.

Mazzamoo Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I would have thought Sir Anthony Hopkins would come under Legendary. I just did a google and I can see the whole cast of World signing at a con, but he isn't with them. He does do panels. I am very excited about this announcement :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy for each and every guests who come to LFCC, each a legend of their own and I am lucky to be given the chance to meet them all. Harrison (IF it is him) is a legend, not only for SW but Indy and loads of other movies. So important to be prepered that it might not be the legend you think it is, hope for.

No, I think I did mention that earlier, that we don't actually know if they are counting book signings or not. Some book signings you can get an item of your own signed but many are obviously just the book so they may not technically count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, i think in a way it won't be Harrison as it's so obvious. Especially if you do discount book signings there are a good few names it could be.

Some book signings you can get an item of your own signed but many are obviously just the book so they may not technically count. Plus it can be hard to really know what someone has done over the years, especially if we stretch back to the 60’s and 70’s. Harrison did a signing (tour I am not sure, but more than once) with Mark and Carrie with the release of the first SW. But I would like to see this clue as straight never done a Con auto/photo á la SM which opens more doors for guests suggestions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CelticRob Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 It’s always best to reign in expectations a little...Harrison Ford is arguably the biggest box office star of the last 40 years. If Capaldi is humongous then Ford would be Earth Shattering. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R4wly97 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 My guesses are either Christopher Eccleston, Harrison Ford or Daniel Craig. If it’s any of these incredible actors I will be very happy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
