THE weekend all Star Wars fans wait for lol, May the 4th.....
This weekend, saw the Droids attend the Mall Cribbs Causeway's LEGO store to celebrate, Saturday 2nd. Other groups were there on the Sunday 3rd, with the 4th being a Bank Holiday, here in the UK.
Mike and Shaun were the droid operators, with myself as 'spotter', keeping the droids and public in order lol.
…is always a special day for Star Wars and this year will be the first since covid restrictions, that people will be able to celebrate it out in the open, so to speak.
There are events planned at stores etc across the UK, so keep your eyes open when out and about.
**********************
On a more somber note, the fourth, will also be the auction of Jeremy Bulloch’s estate:
Jeremy played amongst other characters over his acting career, Boba Fett! The original, first seen in The Empire Strikes Back.
The proceeds from this auction of many items, will benefit Parkinson’s UK, the disease Jeremy had been suffering with before his passing.
********************
I met Jeremy a few times since first meeting him back in 2010, when my Son was a big Boba Fett fan. He was attending CorshamSciFi. He was really chatty with him and myself. He was only the second person I had met, Dave Prowess being the first and later Richard LeParmentier.
My last meeting with him was to show him R5 that i had made since our first meet. He kindly accepted having his photo taken.

Looking forward to attending this event this Saturday. First time visiting Techniquest over in Cardiff, will be joining Paul with his 1977 authentically based R2-D2. As well as other characters from Star Wars, they are also screening 'A New Hope'. Will try to post up event pictures on Instagram on the day.
