Star Wars autographs

Haha found them! They're always in the last place you look. Greedo is probably the star of the show, it's unusual to get Paul Blake and Maria De Aragon at the same convention.

I took this way back on 10th December 1984, when I was working the watch house at the Tokoroa Police Station. The theatre manager over the road walked in, so I got him to pose for a standard mug shot and duly sent it in for processing when the roll of film was all used. Photo Section sent the picture back, together with the negative, without any comment. Dave Prowse autographed it about eight or ten years ago. He quite enjoyed it.
My memory of the suit was that it was fibreglass, and the helmet was very sturdy and had a peculiar odour all of its own...

I always loved that image, Phil... and I've always wondered what happened to the helmet!

I've never been one for signatures, but the best was a photo of me and Uncle George, which was signed and sent to me by his [then] assistant... that was a nice surprise!

I think it ended up in a Tour Suit display in California. There was a thread on the RPF years ago, and I have a vague idea it was ID'ed from the scratches. But I'm old and my memory is both elastic and brittle...

Ah, I missed that piece of info, but that's good to know!

No *censored*, pretty quickly, most Vader threads used to get derailed.

These are two of my babies from my collection. Ray Park was an awesome guy to meet, very energetic, great with kids. Was cool to meet Billy Dee Williams but thought he was getting on a bit, looked very old and tired, may have been a busy day for him though. I would love to get my hands on some sort of star cases but the prices are out of this world.
