Pics

Anyone who’s been to a fan convention will enjoy this guy getting photos with the Star Wars cast

Jim Breezy is a Star Wars obsessive and he’s spent his “tax return” getting photos with the cast at fan conventions.

What makes this interesting is that for each one he’s tried to get the actor to act out a scene from the film with him.

Some cooperate, some ignore him and the whole thing makes quite accurate depiction of the the convention circuit.

Medal Ceremony : Luke Skywalker – Mark Hamill

Wisely invested my tax return last year in a diverse portfolio of photographs with Star Wars actors at the 2015 Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim. I tried to reenact a special Star Wars moment relevant to each character. Results were mixed…

With Mark it went as such:

Me: Mr. Hamill it is a true pleasure to meet you. Do you mind if we get a little creative for this photo?
Mark : *immediately pops up from chair ready to go because he’s a fucking G*
Me : Can I put this lanyard on you like Leia presenting you with the medal at the end of episode 4 after you blew up the Death Star and saved the Rebel Alliance?
Mark : of course
Me : places the lanyard around his neck ever so gently
Mark : *turn to camera with classic finger point

Classic droids prom pose : C-3P0 – Anthony Daniels

Anthony Daniels is the man! The most friendly and gracious actor I had my photo with. He was totally on my level…

Anthony : That’s a great shirt
James’ brain : oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god!!!
James’ mouth : Mr. Daniells it’s a pleasure to meet you. For this picture can I be your counterpart?
Anthony : excuse me?
James’ brain : fuck, you’re blowing it
James’ mouth : can I be R2D2 and you C-3P0?
Anthony : nobody has ever asked that before, why not!

As I knelt down I wanted to ask him to put his hand on my head in the classic droids pose, but I got too nervous. But then he just did it! No prompting.

We shared a laugh about it after, and we’ll share a dream about it forever.

The shield doors must be closed : Major Derlin – John Ratzenberger

Most people don’t know who Major Derlin is. John Ratzenberger is one of those people. He tolerated me as best he could as things went down like such…

Me : Major Derlin! It’s a pleasure to meet you
John : *dismissive grunting noise* as he moves for generic photo
Me : if I may, could we do this photo like I’m Princess Leia and you are telling me that there is nothing more we can do, and the shield doors must be closed?
John : *confused grunting noise*
Me : can you just pretend to be delivering me tough news, and I’ll pretend to be sad?
John : *acquiescent grunting noise*

Fun fact- besides his fame from Cheers, he’s been a voice actor in every Pixar movie ever. Most notably as Ham from Toy Story. Myself and probably 7 other human beings know him best as Major Derlin from Empire Strikes Back

Solo Force Lightning : Emperor Palpatine – Ian McDiarmid

Me : Emperor, it’s an honor. Can we do force lightning together?
Ian : No I’m not going to do that. I’ll just stand here because that’s just who I am. Buy you go right ahead.
Me : *goes right ahead*

Eh, doing my best : Lando Calrissian – Billy Dee Williams

May as well have been a wax mannequin of Billy Dee Williams. He didn’t say a word to me, let alone break the stance you see in this picture in any way. I just modeled my Darth Vader and roal guard shirt.

Wish I brought a Colt 45 to pose with. here’s our meeting…

Me: Mr. Williams it’s a pleasure to meet you
Billy : …
Me: Okay… I’m just gona sorta pose showing off the back of my shirt okay?
Billy: …
Me : okay, have a good day
Billy: … *get’s phone out*

The death of Jabba… +dog : Princess Leia – Carrie Fisher

This was the photo I was most excited and nervous about. I wanted Carrie Fisher to choke me like I was Jabba the Hutt and she was killing me on his Sail Barge in episode VI. Phrasing was going to be key so as to avoid being tackled be security for asking her to “please choke me”

Luckily Carrie is quite zany and down for whatever.

Me: Ms. Fisher, it’s a pleasure to meet you
Carrie : *says something polite James doesn’t register because he’s so nervous to ask his next question*
Carrie : *goes in for intimate huggie photo which would be great, but isn’t what James is here for*
James : Actually, can we do something a little different for this photo? Can you take my lanyard, and sorta… pretend to be choking me to death and I’ll be Jabba like on his sail barge in Return of the Jedi?
Carrie : Of Course *immediately grabs lanyard and starts choking*
Dog : *being dog*

So proud of this photo

Family photos hung along the stairs

Was so proud of the photos that I framed and hung them along my staircase like a loving mother does with family photos. Everyone who enters my house gets the detailed tour of the pics whether they want to or not.
