Super-Con In San Jose, California Posted By Mike on May 21, 2008
Friend of TFN, Olson, wrote to let us know about Super-Con which will be making its way to San Jose, CA this weekend...
"Young Boba Fett from AotC, Daniel Logan, will be a guest of Super-Con as well as Darth Vader actor and Star Wars effects artist C. Andrew Nelson. Clone Wars & Justic Leaguie animated series director David Bullock and SW comic artist Travus Charest will aslo be guests of the show.
In addition, Super-Con will be hosting the creater and original host of Mystery Science Theater 3000 Joel Hodgson ("Joel Robinson") and fellow MST3K castmates Trace Beaulieu (the original "Crow T. Robot"), J. Elvis Weinstein (the original "Tom Servo"), and Frank Conniff ("TV's Frank") who will be promoting their latest project, Cinematic Tintanic which had its debut at Industrial Light & Magic back in December. The cool part is that the convention's MST3K/CT panel will be moderated by C. Andrew Nelson! I've never been to a show where a celebrity guest from one franchise/show interviews celebritry guests from another franchise/show. It should be a real treat. And on Sunday, Richard Kiel ("Jaws" from the James Bond films) will be joining them. Four of Richard's films riffed on in episode of MST3K.
Other guests include Jorge Garcia ("Hurley" from Lost), Henry Thomas ("Elliot" from E.T.), and Wil Wheaton ("Wesley Crusher" from Star Trek).
Super-Con is being held May 17 & 18 at the San Jose Convention Center."
The Man Who Shot Luke Skywalker Posted By Dustin on August 27, 2008: Many of you probably don't know Photographer Kim Simmons, but you will recognize his photography of vintage and modern Star Wars collectibles. He has opened up a website right here where you can now order prints and posters of his nostalgic photography so many of us grew up with over the years. We (The Ohio Star Wars Collectors Club) had Kim as a VIP guest at this year's Summer Social and I must say the prints he has are amazing to see first hand!
