tatooine Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 This the article? http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2...es_N.htm?csp=34 His comments didn't seem really offensive to me. He was talking about a SW convention GL had him give a Vader voice salutation. Quote

Runnriottt Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Jones: I am happy to be a part of the whole cult movement. But they are scary. People are fanatics. I went to a comic-book convention once. George Lucas wrote me a statement to make as nasty as Dark Vader. It was a salutation. But at least I had something to do. I don't sign autographs. And really, Cons are a tad scary. For the novice, even the casual fan Cons are a stretch. My only con has been CJ, but I can imiagine. I am looking forward to a Dragon Con or a Wizard World. I get uncomfortable when people want me ho hold kids, grab their neck in a force choke in my Vader rig. I wont do it any more. (never held a kid, thats just creepy) Besides, Prowse is Darth Vader. Jones never donned a suit. Quote
Knighthawk Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Posted February 9, 2009 Yeah, thats the interveiw. I dont consider SW fans a cult. And maybe I took the fanatic thing wrongly. But still, I feel this is a great and fun hobby, that I really enjoy doing. Thanks for finding those links. Quote
