A friend of mine went and said it was great... horses for courses I guess.

I almost went down for this but then I decided that seeing as it was going to cost upwards of £300 for my wife and I to go down and stop in a hotel then my money could be better spent elsewhere. Was it really that bad?

Guy at work went and came back with lots of pictures of girls dressed up as Princess Leia (yes, lots in the costume from the jabba scene

).

Mark Hamill was apparently charging £85 an autograph though and the popular stuff had massive queues he said.

I personly thought he was rubbish in the 3 Star Wars movies tbh. Very wooden and really not that good at acting.

Great movies but rubbish actor.

I went on Sunday and it was OK but not a good as it should have been. There just wasn't very much to actually see. There were some cool bits but mostly it was just an exercise in selling collectibles and memorabilia. Every little exhibition of Star wars "stuff". My wife and I actually regretted not going to the Star wars Exhibition by the London Eye instead. Saying that, getting 2 adult tickets for £11 in Tesco vouchers as opposed to £46 on the door was nice.

Cool bits:
The costumes - some people really made an effort. My 18 month old son was left utterly open-mouthed for a good 2 minutes by a stormtrooper who spoke to him. The ST even had the right sound efffect for the voice-coder.

The Jedi training on Degobah - Just the look on the little kids who were sleceted to "train" as Jedi.

The filmed recreation of the Tantive IV opening boarding sequence. Marvellous.

My 2p.
