Most impressive, Chris. It really looks like some sort of museum exhibit laid out like that. Did you start your 11x14" project at CIV or after? I know you got a lot done at Fan Days, but CV looks very you just completed a huge chunk.

My favorites are:
- the Carrie Fisher smiling in Norway. Beautiful shot that I don't see often
- the Gary Kurtz/Jeremy Bulloch b/w (I tend to lean toward black-and-whites)
- Ben Burtt on the ESB duel shot
- Ben Burtt / Lorne Peterson on the Death Star X-Wing shot
- the Stormtrooper signings. I've read about these, but to see them all laid out on the photo looks great.

I don't even want to imagine what you paid for all this stuff, but I hope you got an employee discount. Good stuff!

I started doing this with ray when he asked me if there was anything else I wanted him to sign.
I looked down and there was the fastpass so I said to put his initials on it.

I like getting the Fast Passes signed, or at least saving them. It's handy to prove an autograph's origin, but i especially like that it helps tell the story.

I've heard of a lot of success through this but I was wanting to see if anyone else locally has done it.

Try www.wattographs.com.. This group turned me on to this site.

I just realized today by looking really good at my scripts. I F'd up on them, I realized that i had Gary Kurtz sign ROTJ. He didn't produce that. He did ANH and ESB. I am such a dimwit. Oh well now i have to get Gary to sign ANH.

You are to funny. I want to scale down that picture and put it in my book of Celebs I have Met. I am on my second book. He did remember me from the autograph session. I thought that was cool. We only had a second.. I shook his hand, he said "I remember you and that shirt", I had to stand to his right, and they took the picture.. It was a one or two second thing..

I understand what you mean. In principle I don't like the professional photography (because it's just another expense) but Hamill's a tough one to catch and you came away with a really nice shot. I'm 99% sure he's getting a kick out of your shirt, but part of me wonders if he's touching your nerple.

I know many of you have seen these and I believe I can retire these. Unless GL, HF, JEJ, and JW is doing a signing then I will bring them out of retirement.

New autographs. Mark Hamill, Brian Muir, Ben Burtt, Maria De Aragon, and Lorne Peterson

New autographs: Gary Kurtz, Ben Burtt, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Irvin Kershner, Mike Edmonds, Lorn Peterson and Dave Barclay.

New Autographs: Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Ben Burtt, Lorne Peterson, Dave Barclay, Mike Edmonds, Gary Kurtz,
Caroline Blakiston. She was cool, she read her part in the book. I got it on video. I will post it but can't figure it out how to work the video section of this site....

I think I've only got one person who did voice work in the OT other than James Earl Jones. That would be Tom Sylla. While the below shot is obviously not from the OT, in addition to this he also did the voice for the overhead announcer in the Yavin Temple in ANH when all fighters are called to their stations. Possibly even more announcing when they first arrive inside the Temple.

Another voice is Mark Hamill. I'm certain he was the voice in Echo Base: "The first transport is away. The first transport is away." I heard him tell the story years ago in Chicago and when you listen for it, it's definitely Hamill.

Does anyone collect autographs from the voice actors that performed many of the minor roles in the OT? I'm wondering because it seems there are dozens of regular signers on the circuit whose voices never were heard from the big screen. I've not run into a great deal of real information about the many people that performed these and I'm thinking there's virtually no interest (or perhaps awareness) in the autograph community for these people. It's just strange because for example, if John Ratzenberger were not well known outside Star Wars I would chiefly remember Major Derlin's voice (which I doun't believe is Ratzenberger's) more than the way he looked onscreen. Derlin's voice is clear, but he never gets a close-up and doesn't look much different than most other Rebels at Echo Base.

Correct, blown up from an 8x10.

That's actually one of the rarest autographs I own. He just did his very first signing ever recently.

Who around here collects autographs? I have a decent collection but somehow I don't consider myself an autograph collector really. If I was skipping C4 or I didn't already have Carrie Fisher autographs I'd probably buy this from StarWarsShop.
