Official CE II SWFUK Epic Lads Tour PHOTOS UP

An unbelievable weekend, where everything worked out great and lady luck was always on our side.

I know several of you are gutted that you couldn't go, but fear not C7 has already been announced for 2015, so get planning :)

I took nearly 300 photos but have uploaded some of my favorites, i hope you enjoy;

In chronological order;

The campsite, cheap as chips and right next to the venue!



It was great to see George Lucas mingling with the fans



I shot him first, you don't like it, i'll shoot you too



We forgot how much we hated space travel



Grant began his autograph extravaganza with a Goldenrod



And then a big walking carpet



Friday night was ROTJ in the park night







The lightsabers then came out..



The Rebels won!



Everyone was so happy and celebrated in the streets, Gary couldn't hide his jubilation, Jason liked it when Ewoks died.



Saturday morning we were joined by music royalty



Kathleen Kennedy was fantastic (as mentioned previously)



The Dave Filoni introduced, Star Wars Rebels; due out next year, set before Eps Vi. This looks fantastic.















Frank was put in charge of the AT AT



Gerald Home (AKA Squid Head), couldn't have been lovelier. I got his autograph for my son, as my nickname for him is Squid/Squid Head. Gerald was so cool, he signed it; "Leo, from one Squid Head to another, all the best Gerald Home Squid Head", he then gave me 2 extra ones for free. Top man.



But then, with my heart pumping i bought the chance to meet the ultimate hero; Luke Skywalker



An unbelievable experience, Mark Hamill was absolutely brilliant. Grant and i were like kids again.



We then went to see Leia, she is a total firecracker, feisty, bossy and hilarious. I'd love to have a drink with her!





Later on Saturday night we had a few drinks, met loads of different collectors and some of the actors. It was really cool to have a chat and drink with Daniel Logan (Young Fett), he was on top form.



It all got a bit too much for Grant...



We got to see Episode II in 3D, utterly brilliant (yes i know, its Eps II). Sith Lightening in 3D is awesome.



I took some photos of the hall for posterity (not prosperity, although there were a lot of prosperous folk there!)











Grant felt better and met the Admiral



Finally, we sat down to watch Warwick interview Mark, who was really funny, cool and clearly enjoyed himself.





I hope you enjoyed the photos. Bring on 2015!
 
Great pictures mate - really gutted I didn't go but if you get the Falcon out of storage for the next episode then I am 100% there
 
In My defence, I was always smiling a lot, then just before the photo they said something awful like putting a kitten in a blender or setting fire to ewoks which made me sad as I'm a sensitive guy :oops:

They're all bastards for doing that, if you think about it.


But it depends on you're point of view...just like many things in this universe.

:D
 
Ok- this will be my only trumpet blast on the weekend-


Star Wars CE2 was without doubt one of the greatest experinces of my life.

I can think of a number of things that made me so freaking high and things that will live in my memories forever.

I f###ing love Star Wars. I haven't been this high off star wars since I was a kid, and I'm not coming down of this high.

Star Wars celebration 7?

Dam f###ing straight!

Love you Carrie xxx
 
Great photos- Jez and Grant: you both look as giddy as kids in a toyshop, smashing to see! Looks like you all had an amazing time- so much to experience, a real Star Wars feast... I've got to get to the next one :D

Fantastic photo's Jez, looking forward to looking at all 300 at Hotel Jez for FF4!!! You really looked like you had a blast.

Did you get any pictures with Mark Hamill or were you not allowed??
 
I love the fact that in every picture Grant really does look like he is in heaven, even in the picture of him passed out, you can tell he is dreaming about Star Wars (Or Carrie..or Kathleen..or both).

Great pictures Jez, it sounds and looks like it was amazing - well played guys, you deserve a "Legends of SWF" rank now!

Well, sort that out for us then :wink:
 
Brilliant pictures Jez. Looks like you guys had a blast! And Squid Head?!! 8) 8)
Would have loved to have watch Jedi on that big screen in the forest. That looks like a real highlight. Might have given Ep II a miss tho. :roll: :lol:

Fyi; you "took a picture of the hall" for posterity. Not "prosperity" :lol: Altho you never know. :lol:

Mate Hotel Jez will be open again, i'm sure. No, mate, you couldn't take photos of the big hitters, as they were doing separate photo ops for about 140 euros!

Meccano MOCs are expensive.

Saw colour translite things that make up Glasslite MOCs.

There were some nice pieces.

MECCANO MOCS!! - What ones did they have?? - surprised they had any :eek: and yes no surprise on how much they cost :|

Tell me they were all over 1000 Euro's - then I know I wouldn't have wanted any :wink:
