Reposting from Crescent Coral (I couldn't log in to Gatchamania earlier):
Believe it or not, we had a Comic Con in Cyprus today! The headline attractions were from GoT, Hafpur Julius Bjornsson (The Mountain) and Milto Yerolemou (Syrio Forel, who also gave water dancing lessons!)
There was also Gerald Home from Return of the Jedi -- he played Tessek in Jabba's Palace and a Mon Calamari officer next to Ackbar. His Q and A was brilliant, about what it's like to act under a mask plus a lot of "behind the scenes" details about Star Wars. He only had nice things to say about Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and, especially, Harrison Ford -- he's a big fan of Ford's. His presentation was also a good reminder that a movie's success is also due to all the actors, not just the stars. The Brits among you may also know him as the original Mr. Muscle!
Bjornsson's Q and A was very entertaining-- he's enormous, but also very funny. Of course, we tried to get some clues for Season 8
NoGatch or BoTP, I'm thinking of going in a BoTP costume next year,to rekindle interest!
