London was the scene for yet another Star Wars convention this weekend. Opened by Mark Hamill and Ian McDiarmid, the ExCel Centre in Docklands was packed to the gills with people willing to pay 85 ($173) for Mark's autograph. And Luke came face to face with his father once again...
Both Hamill and Anthony Daniels, aka C-3PO, gave talks to the 50,000 aficionados gathered there. And Steve Sansweet, Lucasfilm's head of fan relations and director of content management said that Star Wars would see no more big-screen action: instead, forthcoming projects would include The Clone Wars, an animated TV series; and The Force Unleashed, a video game. He did, however, add a caveat.
"George has made it very clear that he will not be making any more Star Wars movies. He will also not let anyone else make a Star Wars movie," Sansweet said, adding, "Has George ever changed his mind? Yes!" [Channel News Asia and The Sun]

I finally realized the purpose of those red bubbles you started posting in your pics ;)
£85 smackers for some dead eyed has-beens autograph? I'd rather pay a ton for Doctor Whos.
Best use of the red bubbles yet.
@Windhawk: Agreed. That was phenomenal bubble text. It's so nice to see after a couple weeks of random, unfunny "BOOM" texts
(A couple of posts later)
Me: GODDAMMIT!
@Windhawk:
Agreed. Awesome.

Really funny dewd!
check out that celluLeia!
that's what happens after she and Han have kids. And she tries on that Jabba outfit (which she kept out of pure nostalgia and role-playing)....
and then she goes out in public.
No Leia, it's NOT still hot. Years have passed and gravity's taken its toll. You can only wear that if the gravity generators are turned off.
And the lights are off as well.

i wouldn't pay $173 for his autograph.
I'll just catch him on his way out and point a light saber to his head and demand he sign my stupid piece of paper. That'll work
*sighs stupid people these days*
@Spaceboy: "These are not the thighs you are looking for."
Technically, Clone Wars had two seasons already, and they were excellent. The third season is not by the original director; it uses 3d versions of his designs.
Is Chewbacca spoofing those polar bear Coke commercials?
