Visit To Star Wars Collector's Fair In Newport With Peter Mayhew

So I've just got back from the Star Wars Collector's Fair in Newport South Wales. What a great time I had. Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) was there and I must say what a top guy. Very friendly and funny.

Also had my picture taken with Michael Carter (Bib Fortuna.) who was also friendly and takes the time to personalise your photo. Also there was Mike Edmonds (Logray) who never stopped smiling and quite happy to have his photo taken with us. There was a fully working R2-D2 too.

There were loads of stalls and for the collector its heaven. What did I end up buying? Well apart from my signed photos I walked away with a brown haired Luke Skywalker, a complete Amanaman and two sealed Topps Goonies card packs. A great day out and worth the £4 entry fee. Take a look at the photos below and see the fun we had. Even the wife enjoyed the fair although I was worried at one point the stormtroopers were going to take her away!

Pinewood Studios To Expand To The Usa

BBC News have reported that Pinewood Studios are to expand to the USA. This is great news for the famous studio that is rich in movie history. UK film studio Pinewood Shepperton has announced plans to build its first sound stages in the United States. The Pinewood Atlanta complex will be built on 288 acres of land south of Atlanta, Georgia, as a joint venture with a US investment company. Georgia has been among the US states drawing film-making away from Hollywood with tax incentives in recent years. The deal is the latest sign of expansion at Pinewood, the home of the James Bond franchise.
