TD2298 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Hey guys, Finally got to meet Mark Hamill at NY Comic Con this weekend. He was a real nice guy. I walked in first and asked him "Have we met before?" he quickly replied "Yeah, you look familiar." With a not so impressed tone. He also said to the little guy on his lap that he looks more like Luke than he does. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Awesome!! I wonder if I will ever meet one of the main actors of the trilogy... So far, only guys in mask or on the background! This looks like lots of fun! Saludos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD2298 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 He was actually charging $75 for pictures and $100 for autographs. He was actually nice enough to let us come in and take the pic for nothing since we were 501st/Rebel Legion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Hope to meet him one day, as i have only heard nice things about him The autographs seems a bit high, maybe not he´s own idea. Lucky i will meet Anthony Forrest this weekend coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, he was injured at a con a while back and stopped doing them for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron ram Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 He has to make money some how The only reel roll he ever had was over 30 years ago lol Ok almost forgot corvette summer but for me it was all about the vett and Anny Potts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 He is the voice of the joker on the Batman Animated series... Way more cool than being a farmboy if you ask me, but hey, not everyone gets to wear a Sandtrooper armor!! LOL!! Anyway, 75 USD for 1 pict sounds a bit over the edge. There is no way I would pay for that no mater who he is. Saludos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I was also at NYCC on Saturday along with my Empire Cirty Garrison mates! Had an awesome time. The little guy on Mark Hamill's lap is Logan. He is the son of my friend Terry, CO for the North East Remnant. I was not able to troop my Sandie that day so I was sporting my Incinerator Trooper. Didn't get the chance to meet Mr. Hamill, but did get some pics with Peter Mayhew. Here are a few shots of me and my bro-in-law with our Deathstar hallway backdrop during our "Shoot the Trooper" contest.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope so, i have meet Vader, Boba, R2D2, Chewi, Greedo, Yoda, BIb Fortuna, Jabba tale, Ewoks, ANH Stormtroopers etc... But to meet Luke Skywalker would be... freaking COOL!!! If someone have hurt him, they must me sick people, crossed fingers it will never happen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome, David Prowse is someone I would really like to meet. I've heard him on radio interviews and stuff like that and he seems like a neat guy. I remember him talking about his bodybuilder days and saying that event organizers told him he would never win any competitions because his feet were too ugly. Lol.

Not sure if we crossed paths that day, but maybe at another troop. I'm also NER with Terry and Logan. Thanks for having us up from Jersey.

Quartermaster Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hey John. I saw you suited up towards the middle of the day, but I was already suited down at that point. I was there at 8am and was in costume until about 2pm. Had to man the ECG table for about an hour and a half and then had to leave early (around 4pm). I was the guy at the table with the MEPD Hockey Jersey on while you were trooping. Sorry we didn't get to meet. I'll make sure to make a point of grabbing you next time and saying "Hey!"

Wow, you had a long day there! Oh man, my lenses must have been fogged up or I just wasn't paying attention and got caught up in the con. See you at the next event!

TD2298 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Special thanks to the Hawkbats for letting me crash their photo. Although, an armed Sandtrooper goes wherever they want. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vader have been in my city more then 4 times i think, and i have meet him each time. He´s a top guy, i have only good things to say about him. Very open, and good hearted, answer all your questions in details, great humor, and very kind. Tell you good back ground storys from back them. I like him, hope you meet him some day (London/Copenhagen where i live are so close, only a little over an hour in a flight. So he have been here many times) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
