Empire Day 17 - Star Wars unofficial UK Convention - Sunday 10/09/06

Free exclusive Hasbro Vader fig with every SW purchase over £10? Damn! And I just bought the Lego Star Wars game the other day and didn't get squat with it! The game is loads of fun though!

Great pics by the way!

 

it's not that crappy red darth vader,is it?
i'm off to woolworths...

 

No, it's the VOTC vader... very sweet indeed...

here's a pic: http://www.sirstevesguide.com/index.php?categoryid=13&p2_articleid=256

 

Good photos, do you have any others? in particular of Mike Savva as he was the only Jedi at the show and my crap camera blurred up most of my photos that day Thanks

 

Not sure who Mike Savva is but as our photos show there were actually two Jedi present from Rebel Legion, lol.

 

Mike Savva was one of the guests!!! LOL

He was the Naboo guard at the top of Episode 2 but was also a Jedi in Episode 3.

Did you guys go there blindfolded? haha

 

Welcome to the boards CambridgeDan
I don't think people can ever know everyone (guests) at an event tbh, I couldn't tell you that either.

 

I only asked a question if there were other photos to share. Usually theres a list of the guests on the website or on all promotional materials so I disagree with you, visitors are in fact very aware of what guests are there, in fact I can confirm that.

Since you were not aware of who was there then I wonder why anyone would go! Unless its to get; a) photos with the dudes in fancy dress, b) show everyone your own fancy dress or c) just to see a certain guest(s). I would bet that all 3 of these actually occured! Im not going to bother asking what the point of going was then! Forget I mentioned anything.

 

hi cambridgedan.
i chatted with the two guys who played naboo guards,having got one of thems auto'.
i have to admit that i really wasn't bothered about who either of them played,i just loved one of the photos they had and so got it signed...
they were very pleasant and friendly and chatty.

 

I went to Empire Day mainly to speak to Jason Joiner RE: Celebration Europe. He wants to know what the FanForce would like to see and what we can do to help.

I'm not an autograph collector and Empire Day is very geared up for the real SW autograph hunters so I didn't take much notice of the guests I'm afraid. I did have a great time with my fellow fanforcers though and got to see my Uncle, and I am a toy collector and got to see some nice stuff from the dealer section too

We didn't get any photos with Mike Savva I'm afarid. Not sure why we seemed to single out the Jabba puppeter, just kinda happened as he was a very nice guy. Showmasters might post some official pics soon, I saw Andrea (SM organiser) with her camera and she does post them on the SM board. Hope that helps

 

which one was mike savva?

 

You mean what does he look like or what did he do in the movie? The Empire Day website explains all that stuff LOL

If you sat in on the Prequel Q&A, he answered the question about stealing props from the sets! You missed the Q&A too? sigh LOL

 

I have sent you a PM Dan. My reasoning is partly what Lord Tice posted. I am not an autograph collector, so I scan the people attending but don't memorize the list of attendees. Hence my explanation above. Also, as a fan group ourselves, we attend conventions to show our commitment to fandom, advertise what we do, and support what these companies put on for us. But that does not mean knowing every guest, hence why I posted that I am sure not all our members know who you are asking photos for. I apologize if that is offensive, but it's simply an explanation and my reasoning why members here couldn't help you with your photo search. Thanks

 

hahaha,yeah... i missed most of the q&a sessions.
i'm a bad fanboy!
i deserve a smacked bottom.

 

anyone?

 

Don't look at me, not into that sort of stuff Jamie, but I am sure we can find someone for you

 

Go on then, if I have to. LOL
