woo hoo!

Whilst I was at C3 I was able to confirm my tickets to the red carpet premiere in London, and access to the VIP party afterwards.

I was actually able to secure TWO tickets to it, but I guess nobody would be interested to learn that on here!

Nice to meet all the FFUKers, especially Verity for your help with the celebrity photo shoot I held...

;-)

 

NICE ONE!

Would love to know how you pulled that one off, but I guess then you'd have to kill me

Well done mate, hope you have a great night.

 

Yes, that should be fun
You get to meet all the great people

 

How on earth did you do that? if only i had knew, i would have attacked you with my plastic lightsaber, when i met you in the hyatt lift.

well done btw

 

Score! Result!

Cool smokes to you!

 

Hope you have a great time! Pass on my regards to George!

 

So, how did you do it!

 

a jedi mind trick

 

Wow, I must try that more often

 

TheDarthVader waives his hand in a circular motion:

Tell me my friend, who did you use this mind trick on?

 

good for you mate, youll have a blast (no doubt)

 

thanks. It's a hectic week for me what with one thing and another.

as for the jedi mind trick - I was kidding!

But, I do have the tickets. Means I can't troop that day - :-( with the ukg but i hope it is still good fun.

just need to find a date - I expect the girlfriend will want to come, but as we're seeing it in new york the week before, she may decide she doesn't want to see it twice - pah!

 

The nerve of some people
Not seeing it twice?

Its unherd of

 

if your girlfriend can't go, i will be happy to escort you there; I do a damn good slave leia. The metal bikini looks great over my armor and breathing apparatus. Just kidding.

Have a great time .

 

Unlike Episode 1 this will be the one everyone went to see . . . and actually want to remember as well. I have a feeling it will kill the other two box office wise and DVD sales, well. Let's just say that if Lucas holds the tradition of basing his decision to make more films on whether the last one out at the time makes money, it's a safe bet you can count on 7, 8 and 9 coming down the road.

 

I doubt it
He seems very certain they won't be made

 

7, 8 and 9 seem very improbable by now. Firstly, the saga has gone around full circle and it would seem odd to add to the story. The double-trilogy was really about Anakins Development as a character, with that completed in EpVI, there would really be no point in making another film. Further to this, the books cover the 25 years after the Battle of Endor, Lucas will never, never make a films about someone else's story.

I wish we could have more films, but, I have made assumption, it is a near impossibility, that more will be released.

Now, I think it is important, we focus on the new TV shows, we must do our utmost to ensure it does not turn out all crappy like:
Star Trek
Star Gate
Battle Star
Space Precinct
"Buffy" - it was good at the beginning, but the it just became cheese at the end.
and many other dire sci-fi shows.

To prevent this, the live-action show will have to be slightly like a another film. They will not be able to release them is droves, and every single episode will not have to be about some crappy mission.

 

anyway, this is the wrong forum to talk about new films. So, i apologize to thebrit for de-railing it. This is a forum for us to congratulate him and shout:

woooowohooooooooowoooowoooowoooooooooo

 

no apology necessary!

and no sign of interest from the missus for 'seeing that film twice'

 

you are kidding, even if it's the royal premiere?

 

i had to ask really nicely to fly her to new york for the us one...

 

you better practice your jedi mind tricks a bit more, I am sure she will change he mind.

Are you going to go in, armour, a suit or something else?

 

no costume I don't think. regular clothes i guess - i don't think a tux is appropriate these days

 

it it a Celebrity Premiere or is it a Royal Premiere?

 

TDV: I'm not sure if it's for charity (like the medicinema screening on the 18th) or whether royalty will turn up (aside from George..), so I guess that's a don't know to both!
