OK, you can say this any month but given the Star Wars tenet running through posts at the mo, I couldn't resist today!
My favourite Sith has got be Darth Maul played by Martial Artist Ray Parks in the Phantom Manace. I onced had lunch at Birmingham's Memorabilia at the NEC and guess who was eating at the next table? Yep, Ray Parks. He had a double headed knife and fork! Hee hee.
Have you ever been near or met anyone from the Star Wars universe?
Ive got the same surname as the actor who played Boba Fett!
ReplyDeletewhat a load of b*lloc*s!
DeleteWell I've got two close encounters (oops-wrong film) to relate Woodsy. At a Star Wars event held many moons ago I had the pleasure of acting as an assistant to Jeremy Bulloch at his signing table and have a photo of us together and an autographed photo of Boba Fett thanking me for my help both of which I treasure (and he is such a nice guy too) but better than that is the story of my membership card! Even longer ago than previous, I was in a WH Smiths store in Glasgow (around 1980-can't remember exactly)I noticed a guy in a superbly detailed Vader costume signing autographs so on a whim I decided to get my Official Star Wars Fan Club membership card signed. So I handed over the card, he looked at it and asked "Who's your favorite character?" now this was odd, as he hadn't spoken to anyone else, but I replied "Han Solo" he seemed to think for a minute the wrote on the back of my card and handed it back. I didn't look at it till later and then got a surprise-written on the back was-To Steven from Darth Vader(D.P.). Now admittedly I can't be sure....but I like to think that meant just what it said!
