UPDATE

While viewing this page http://www.scifiexpo...ebration-v.html
I came across some more names not listed on the other page I usually check. There are currently 42 listed for doing autographs.
Mark Hamill wants $125 per autograph. (The most expensive of all.)


Dee Bradley Baker -- Clone Wars Voice -- all Clone Troopers
Tom Kane -- Clone Wars Voice -- Yoda
Jaime King -- Clone Wars Voice -- Aurra Sing
Matt Lanter -- Clone Wars Voice -- Anakin Skywalker
Catherine Taber -- Clone Wars Voice -- Padme and others
James A. Taylor -- Clone Wars Voice -- Obi-wan Kenobi



CANCELLATION

Kenneth Colley will not be attending due to a prior film commitment that coincides with Celebration.

Admiral Piett! Noooooooooooooo! Ugh I wanted his autograph too. Dont fail me again, ADMIRAL Piett.

[General Specific]

The addition of Mark Hamill has officially taken me from "on the fence" to "purchased tickets." Although there are multiple items that I'd like to have sign for him, there's no way I'm going to be able justify purchasing more than 1 ticket at $125. Even though I don't particularly enjoy seeing actors charge that much for autographs (lesser amounts are fine), I understand that they need compensation, and that the market system is usually the only limit to what they can charge, so if I don't purchase, plenty of others will, and this will easily be the most opportune time I'll ever have to get his.

As far as the other guests sre concerned, virtually every single worthwhile guest has already appeared at sww, so I think I'll take my chances to await their return.

Hamill and Fisher are on my radar. The others are all SWW frequent guests.

There are a great many that aren't and have never been to SWW. I think it's almost even actually (half have been and half haven't been).

Let's be honest though, all the autograph guests not named Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Ben Burtt (and Tim Rose IF he adds "It's a trap!" as a personalization) fall into one of these groups:

A: Have been to SWW in the last 2 years.

B: Appeared in roles that were, at best, essentially glorified cameos.

Sometimes you honestly just have to step back and think "What am I getting --------'s autograph for? The general public that has seen the movies has no idea of their character's existence, so am I getting it because it's there, or will it truly add to the value, monetary or sentimental, of my item?" I'm not trying to belittle the careers of any of these individuals, but sometimes the only logical item to get them to sign is a poster along with a group of others, and there's a point where you've dug too deep into obscurity and said poster is oversatuated.
