For a reinactment of the Episode I fight sequence there was a search for someone with a beard to play Qui-Gon Jinn. My wife’s hand floated over my head in view of the searching Ray Park which drew his attention. “You in the bandana.”. I was apparently the only one with a bandana. I stood up an began to undress my abundance of superflous video and camera equipment. Master of Ceremonies, Warwick Davis, remarked that we didn’t have all day. I rushed the stage, shook their hands and presented myself to their mercy. I am honoured to say that I was killed on stage by Ray Park as Darth Maul while in the role of Qui-Gon with Warwick Davis in the lead as Obi-Wan Kenobi. The moment passed much too rapidly and unfortunately, it was after the event took place that I wished I said something to Ray Park like, “Your Shwartz is bigger than mine but, my midiclorians are more masculine.” See photos of this at http://www.kemppro.com/starwars_2007/starwars/Gallery.html Fallowing the fight, there was a questions and Answers segment of the show where I publicly asked if I could have the Lightsabre I used on stage but, to no avail. I promised myself to not buy any new toys since I’m now trying to sell my collection - not add to it. But, boy, I sure wish I had a light sabre. They are so cool! That day I met other actors and made some great contacts and actually ran into Warwick later in the main hall. All in all, it was quite the day for me. It’s good to get out a bit! There are several clips available on Youtube and links here provided by other fans who were present during the show. I am seeking out anyone with video footage of this fight sequence. If you have some, please contact us here. I have written Warwick Davis and solicited the help of a friend of his to obtain an official copy recorded by Lucasfilm at the event. Will keep you posted if I receive a copy. We are building a site about Celebration Europe and it's success at http://www.kemppro.com/starwars_2007/starwars/Welcome.html We are also searching for anyone who has real good, clear video of this reinactment. If you do, please contact me directly. Thank you and may the force be with you. And if you're interested, Here's a parody I made in tribute to my love of Vader and comedy. http://www.kemppro.com/starwars_2007/starwars/Film%3AVader%27s%20Bad%20Day.html Have fun.
John Coppinger posted:As one of the guests it was great to meet people I like and spend time with them re-living Star Wars moments in surreal and sunny Docklands. The show was okay, the pictures and prices were awful - So I hope the fans weren't too disappointed. Re. Cards Inc. - Freelance folks get very tired of chasing payment for their work and appearances. We're actually quite easy to please, and getting paid on time is just basic politeness.
Tim Dry posted:Star Wars UK actors such as Barrie Holland, Lightning Bear, Tim Dry, Toby Philpott,Sean Crawford etc.still HAVE NOT BEEN PAID by Cards. Inc (the organisers of CE)This is disgraceful. Especially as the quality of the pictures that they provided for us to autograph was terrible. And the prices charged were nothing to do with us!
Bogus Magus? posted: I can only agree with Tim about the organisation. Of course, fans made the best of it, and we (the Jabba crew) managed to squeeze a little fun out of the event, but essentially it was a shambles and an embarrassment compared to (say) Celebration 3 in Indiananapolis which had space, comfort, all sorts of interesting events and displays, etc. 'Disappointed' would be the weakest word I would use, and yes, although we 'minor league' players didn't make much anyway (trying to sell over-priced and low quality items) it would be nice to actually get paid according to the terms of the contract.
