I bet it was! Imagine if Hamill shows up! I already have both of them, but I'd be tempted to stand in line to meet Hamill. Just to get my picture taken with him.

I'd still be willing to get Fisher if anyone wants her. I just don't want to be stuck in line ALL day!

Yeah I really was expecting Hamill to be at CIV with it being in CA and was a bit disappointed he wasn't.

I've never waited in the lines for the Autographs. I think it would be cool to meet some of the actors from the movies, but don't want to waste a whole day at the convention for one or two signatures. For those who have done it in the past, what is the average wait time?

Is Anthony Daniels attending ?

The longest we waited in line for was Billy Dee Williams at C3. I think we waited 3 or 4 hours. Mostly because he was late getting to the convention. From my experience, once the line starts moving, they go pretty quick. The $20 guys are pretty easy to just walk up and get at any time.

Like Shawn said, I won't wait in line for a full day to get an autograph, but I'd be willing to spend a little time in line.

Tony: So far no word on Anthony Daniels. Although, I would be surprised if he wasn't there. He usually runs in the $50-$75 range.

Not sure yet!!! I hope so!!!

I need a R2 and 3PO photo signed!!!!

Looks like 4 Collectors Panels have just been announced.

I went to Shane's Animation one at CIV and really enjoyed it.

I'm pretty stoked for a Nick Gillard autograph! And those collecting panels look like they will pretty fun too!

I've heard we should be expecting more announcements tomorrow!

Thanks for the info Merlin. I wouldn't mind getting an autograph or two and I might go for it this time, but for the most part, I feel like I would rather attend the 2-3 collectors panels that would be going on while I would be queuing for an autograph.

Shawn.... When the event opens...go directly to the autograph panel and buy your tickets, ( for the main characters ) , in there they will tell you at what time you have to show up for your autograph , that way you will know at what time you have to be there so you can plan your day ahead..... of course that´s my opinion...

Also , Arrive very early to the collectors panel!!!!


Typical day at any celebration......

Morning:
Attend Any event with main character....
Probably some time for autographs ( the fast ones!)
look & shop around

midday:
Attend Some collector panel
Visit the SW shop
Eat

Evening:
Autograph ( main character) ...
Attend another main event ( if Lucky)

some great details there, especially for us first timers to a Celebration

those collecting panels sound good also.

Some more names added today for the autograph hounds!

I know I'm going to be picking up quite a few. If anyone else wants anything, please let me know. It's probably easier to reply to this thread with your wants, so I don't accidently delete your PM.

Amy Allen (Aayla Secura)
Caroline Blakiston (Mon Mothma)
Julian Glover (General Veers)
Frank Henson (Skiff guard, Endor Rebel Soldier () and Biker Scout)
Ian Liston (Wes Jansen)
Jake Lloyd (Anakin Skywalker)
Daniel Logan (Boba Fett in the prequels)
Jack McKenzie (Cal Alder aka Hoth Rebel Commander)
Chris Muncke (Captain Khurgee ANH)
Chris Parson (K-3PO and 4-LOM)
George Roubicek (Commander Praji ANH "stolen plans" guy)
Matthew Wood (Sound guy and the voice of Grievous)

Maybe Gary Kurtz is going

Just seen that he's going to London Film & Comic Con

All this latest news is very exciting.

Looking forward to the Collector Panels and meeting some of you at CV.

Looks like this will be Caroline Blakiston's last U.S. appearance so this will be a definite must have autograph.

And got my ticket for Last Tour to Endor.

I hope they keep the information coming fast.

More collecting panels announced today!

C5 Collecting Panels

Man I'm so sad.. only chance of me going now is if I win the lottery

Folks:
I would still like to get the Boba Fett/Luke Jedi stunt double guy if anyone else happens to decide to get one from the same guy... It would great one for the Luke Jedi Focus***.

BUT: I would only want someone to get one though if it’s a quick stroll to the auto desk and you are getting one for yourself. I know I picked up a few cheaper autos on the second and last days of CE when the crowds disappeared and I could just walk up to Kenny Baker & Jeremy Bulloch.
Shawn : I spent the best part of Friday queuing for Mark Hamil’s in CE... There were a lot of handbags flying around as they tried to run two rival ques side by side. I remember being worried that I wouldn’t get my chance because they over sold his voucher.

Craig, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be attempting to get Dickey Beer, so I'll be glad to pick one up for you. I'm also guessing his line will be fairly short, quick and sweet!

Appreciate it LOADS Chris! but only if the desk is empty dude don't want you to miss anything cool.

Thanks Bud! I will sort out some cashville for you before the C5 so that you and the misses can have a beer on me!

Very cool news. I hope we get some kind of update on the film he was producing '77

From the trailer, I thought it looked like it could be an interesting movie. From what I understand, it has had some of the same delay problems that fanboys did.

Cool that Kurtz will be there heard that his price will be $35 .

Just bought my autograph tickets and airlines (finally) as well.

Looking to do DisneyWorld after CV.

hoe some more good guests get announced soon.

Final round of collecting panels just went up.

Seems like an interesting group all the way around.
