Scroll down to see timetables, e.g. Mark Hamill Saturday 11:35-12:35hrs Batches 1 to 8

 

That's 7.5mins per batch how many photos in each batch?

 

When booked it SAID 50 per batch.......I hope thats not right.

 

7.5 minutes per batch is just 9 seconds per photo, there's no way that's right. I get that you can't stop and have a chat with the guests in these but people are going to say hello at least!

 

Once things get rolling 9 seconds are more than enough. But actually it will be less, because before batch 1-8 there will be unknown number of "those that require special access" and unknown number of "attendees with priority access". And "those that require special access" aka those with medical badge are gonna take longer than 9 seconds, though of cause it does mean less people in the batches.

With proper helpers to get people moving in an orderly fashion, your photo is taken before the previous fan is more than a few steps away and the next fan is waiting just outside the frame of the picture.

 

Excellent, Well worth £145.....

....Said no fan ever.

I'll pass.

 

It is incredibly expensive, Leia is much better priced, teetering on whether to go for her...

 

Actually, it seems quite a lot have said just that.

I am glad I have a photo with Mark from CV.

 

Yep, kind of makes my 15 minute chat with Dave Prowse at last years London Film and Comic Con priceless by comparison. In other words it didn't cost me anything. I know the long 'history' between him and Lucas Film is somewhat barbed so maybe that's why we don't see him at SWC but whatever, that he happily chatted with me for that length of time (sure, it was a quiet period but he didn't have to) speaks volumes in comparison about him versus the others I guess..

 

Actually I believe someone said, that it came as a surprise to Mark as well, that he is that expensive.

Some Companys/people will blame the actors, when it is really them self setting the price.
Mark (or his agent) may have dictated a minimum price, and the company may have raised that price considerably.
I am not saying this is what happend, I am just saying it could be.
And besides at Celebration Europe II in Essen they had to add VAT (on top of normal US prices) to all prices by local law. This may be the case again.

 

Likely Mark is paid a flat fee plus his flights, hotel etc. It's then up to the organiser to recoup the cost back. Some people get a cut of the individual charge but who knows in this case?

 

Cluster ****. That is all.

 

How much has Mark been charging for autographs?

 

Mark's autograph was £135.

 

Yh £135 and he would only sign his autograph thats it, no luke skywalker afterwards, no may force be with you. And for £135 i thought he would do. Not sure if seen a couple people with abit more than his signature but when it come to me and a few around me he did no such thing

 

Yeah my friend got his autograph on Saturday and said the same, no quotes just Best Wishes (or something like that) and his signature. He wasn't sure but thought it was because they were trying to get through as many people as possible and they were behind schedule.

To be honest I think Mark Hamill's decision to give free autographed pictures to anyone who asked a question at his panel spoke volumes about what he thought of the prices being charged.
