Star Wars Celebration V: August 12-15, 2010. Orlando, FL

A week has passed and this thread is still going strong!

Fury, we missed you in chat last night. It was a CV reunion.

Well, Shropt, my belly shows in every photo, I can't grow a 'stach, and I never shook George Lucas's hand. Oh, also, I never won a Bossk. Thanks to Shropt's dad for taking our photos. I don't think he knew what he was walking into.

Now, back to the elliptical to lose this gut. See y'all later.

 

[Shropt]

The prop is just the beginning!

And of course I love Bam, she is awesome.

Check this out, the Usual Suspects, our first meet and greet:

Also notice that I am Sideshow'd out complete with Freaks shirt and Sideshow cap.

I'm always working during Thursday chat, and it sucks. That may change soon.

We'll save that for Dragoncon 2011 or at least FX 2010.

You were there in spirit.

MegaCon is pretty cool, too, even if it's 50% anime now.

Chris is so absolutely perfect as C-3P0. Not only does he have the best costume/suit out there... but he has the mannerisms, movements and even the voice down. Whenever he's in character I get the geek chills, especially when he says something like "Master Carl..."

This is us when he went to meet Chris Parsons (K-3P0, 4-LOM, and C-3P0 stand-in for some OT scenes):

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/50k38kTwA6k?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/50k38kTwA6k?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

Sorry for the video quality... didn't know the iPhone compressed video that much for YouTube. And, yes, someone really asked me "Is that a real person in there?"

So, wait - who was inside that costume? And was the guy 3PO was speaking to and taking a photo with Chris Parsons?

I feel dirty.

You should. Jabba's slimey! God knows how long it's been since he's had a bath.

The guy in the C-3P0 costume is my friend, Chris Bartlett. He's a SW fan, costumer and also a member of the R2 Builders & 501st. He also does an awesome Boba Fett, and has been used as artist reference (including Leah Mangue's CV print this year).

Yes, the guy he meets and takes a pic with is Chris Parsons. He wanted to meet Bartlett because he wants to commission him to make him a 4-LOM suit. I guess he wants to wear it again at some appearances or something? I must say, the guy looks pretty good for 50.

Yeah dude....when's FX? I've never been.

@Agen Jabba is sexy.

If only she would partake in my nerdiness.

I know how you feel.

Man who you telling. I try to hide my gut and can't

Waay more than 50% now but that's not till March of next year. FX is this October at the Gaylord Palms in Orlando (near Disney).

Anyone coming to FX?

I almost didn't think that could be Chris Parsons considering how young he looked! He must've been 18-20 when they filmed TESB? What a cool gig to have at such a young age! And Chris Bartlett does an awesome job! Did he make that 3PO costume, as well?

 

[IrishJedi]

FX is usually in April, but this year they moved it to October 15-17:

Yeah, Parsons was 19 when they made Empire.

And, yes, Chris made his 3P0. He also does Sandtroopers, Fett, Tusken Raiders, etc. He's an extremely talented guy.

 

[Shropt]

I'm also looking forward to Megacon next year. I saw Alisachan there last year and I'm dying to get a photo with her in my armor.

That can probably be arranged.

Wow. Maybe one of these days I'll commission him to make me a 3PO, then.
