Hi
I was just wondering what you guys say to cast and crew members when you meet them at events.
The reason i ask is that some seem to be really friendly and approachable while others are clearly there for the money and can't be arsed talking to fans, such as Kenny Baker.
The nicest people i met were at the Burnley fan day - Katy Purvis and Paul Blake. I asked Paul how he got started and how he got the part of Greedo. All that really interests me because it seems like the people who were in Star Wars as bit parts were just there at the right time. Most crew were just studio hands or involved with the unions and contracted to certain studios. It's fascinating really. Katy was just lovely showing with pride her cast invite to the ROTJ premier. Really nice lady to meet.
It stands to reason that people in smaller parts might be more enthusiastic with fans as they probably don't get hassled all day every day. But what do you ask the likes of Dave Prowse or Peter Mayhew for example? I found Dave Prowse very dismissive. At Elstree Empire Day he got on one because people were crowding his table in order to see Kenny Baker. But then KB was equally unfriendly.
