Hey guys, STU-9 here just to let you know how the
night at Fox Studios went. I went down hoping to get a few photos and maybe an
autograph as I couldn't manage to win tickets on nova during the week to get
inside, anyway I rocked up with my rots shirt on hoping to attract his attention
and my missus who isn't into star wars at all tagged along, she wondered off to
talk to the Nova96.9 lady to ask if anyone hadn't shown up and whether there was
any spare tickets. She came back with two lanyard passes to get inside for which
I will be forever in her debt.
I manage to get a photo with Hayden and
got him to sign my lanyard plus my Empire magazine showing him aboard the
Tantive IV. After that we went in and grabbed a seat at the front. They had a
goodies bag waiting for us with toy lightsaber and some M&M's and some Lipton
Ice Tea. The Fox Studio guy then introduced two webdocs (both available on
starwars.com) and then Hayden introduced the new trailer shown for the 1st time
in Australian cinemas. After it aired he grabbed the mike and said "How cool was
that, I don't know about you guys but I want to see that again", so again they
showed it.
They followed that with a Q&A session
where a few people asked the standard questions. How does it feel to be Vader?
What's it like working with r2d2? Are you single? (which he is for all the
ladies wondering), I got my question in "did you get harassed while in Sydney
for wearing a mullet"? Dumb question but I choked and couldn't think of anything
else. He was a champion of a bloke and answered all questions put to him and
signed lots of autographs outside. So all in all it was an awesome night even if
no new footage was shown. I loved it and walked away with a big grin, two
autographs and a cool photo destined for my wall in a nice frame.
