I never met Harrison Ford.But I hope to, even though I know that will never happen since I live on the East Coast and not on the West Coast of the country.
HenryJunior said:I met Peter Mayhew(Chewbacca) and Richard Leparmentier(Admiral Motti) at PHX comic-con one year. They were the first celebrities I had ever met so I was incredibly star-struck. I got Mayhew's autograph, and for some dumb reason I asked if I could take Richard's picture. He thanked me for asking him kindly and allowed me to, when I got home his eye's were closed in the pic LOL. Aw well. I had never had a grasp for how tall Chewbacca was in the movies, but even at almost 70, Peter towered over every one in Exhibit Hall!
Last year I met Billy Dee Williams (Lando) at a Con which was really cool. He strolled in 30 minutes late in his rich-people pajamas but he held respect towards the fans and asked us all how we were doing.
Darth Vile said:I managed to persuade my girlfriend to go with me to a Star Wars event in London a few years ago (the only one I've ever been to). By some quirk of fate we managed to stay in the same hotel as many of the stars/actors who were there. Now being a childish Star Wars geek, the likes of Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels et al are probably the only people out there that can allicit a sense of me being star struck... whereas my girlfriend (not knowing a Sith from a Jedi) is overtly gregarious and has no such inhibitions (as she doesn't know who these people are)... Therefore, she was chatting/laughing/joking with the likes of Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Jeremy Bulloch and Dave Prowse all night; and I was just quietly sitting there tight lipped and thinking to myself "wow that's really Luke Skywalker... that's Boba Fett, that's Darth Vader"... very, very sad.
