We were doing a wave in front. It just didn't coordinate with what the rest of the line was doing at all. tongue

Ohh, this is great!

Loved the wave!


I loved hearing Mark Hamill, but I don't know which show was the best - that one, Anthony Daniels or Ray Park.... *sees Ray Park Force-push Warwick from the stage*

Daniels can, very much unlike 3PO, be a little perverse. wink He was still very funny, though and knew how to make a show. Ray Park seems like a really good guy. He was very kind when I went to get an autograph for my best friend who couldn't make it at the Celebration, and he was also very cool at the Two halves show. happy

Because I missed Park's show, I'd have to say that Daniels had the funniest show. Though Hamill had some awesomesauce stuff too tongue

we had crappy seats and marks performance,if you will,was fabulous.
he's a born entertainer,although for eighty five quid a pop,i'd have him up there doing poledancing,for that kind of money...
he was funny,irreverant,ironic-not bad for an american-and was above all GENUINE.
his opinions regarding the SE and the PT were honest and cutting,he obviously has a huge regard for his fellow actors,from ford to hagon,and he seems to have very little in the way of hollywood ego.
despite the eighty five quid price tag.
and he's the bigggest ff-uk-ing comic book geek i've ever met.
i was the one who shouted 'on infinite earths'...
it was me,i tell you!


No bad for an American? WTH?

Oh, don't get me started on the price he was charging for his autograph. That was completely absurd. I had thought at first it was so high because the event managers or some agency or something was taking a big chunk of the money, but I've since heard he was supposed to get something like 70 quid out of the 85 charged for each autograph. That definitely made me resent him a bit, because he sure as hell doesn't need that much money. It was still an enjoyable talk, though. I just chose not to get an autograph from him after. tongue

I can understand why he was making such a big deal of his voice acting skills, though. He's very typecast already, and he wants to make sure fans know he can do other roles aside from Luke Skywalker. I think he's a great actor and probably could have gotten a lot more big movie roles had it not been so hard for viewers to think of him as anyone other than Luke. When I see him in another movie, I just think, oh look, it's Luke with a beard. tongue


Actually he probably does need that much money. I don't think he made a whole lot from his Star Wars days.

So you were the ones who had started the wave!? Whow! :-D I was among those in the other line (near the wall) and even though I tried to continue it, the wave broke near the front, which is a pitty. :-(

We should make it a FF tradition to try and start waves in event/convo lines, and take a pic of it tongue
