ORLANDO FLORIDA CONVENTION CENTER
FINALLY GOT TO MEET KENNY BAKER!
01/27/07
My main goal was to meet Kenny Baker and mission accomplished. Very nice chap, talked for a while and had him sign a rear skin panel and a photo. He seemed in very good spirits. Also scored some figures I was looking for, mainly a R5 unit and a Leia/R2. Sure was great to finally meet him. Quite talkative... we talked about the old day's and up to the now CGI created R2's in the newer films... he did not like that subject too much. Sure is a time I will not soon forget!
First took a picture of Kenny Baker before my turn in line
Kenny signing one of my rear skin panels, sweet! And talking about the movies, his future, etc.
Kenny signing my back skin panel :)
Kenny signing one of my favorite poses of R2 from ANH, R2/him sitting/hiding in the rock formation.
Then I shook his hand, thanked him for his time and wished him good luck in the future!
Keith and Carolyn brought their rear panel for Kenny to sign
