I was wondering, for those of you who have met celebrities of the Star Wars genre, in your own opinions, which were the best ones.
I've met quite a few from the Trek universe and some from B5 but never any from Star Wars.
Which ones did you guys find the kindest or, for that matter, which were not all that great in person?

I have been luck enough to have met 50+ actors from the Star Wars Universe over the past 10 years.
The Kindest, Friendliest and without a doubt the most pleasant is Jeremy Bulloch who played Boba Fett in Empire and Jedi.
This past June, I helped organize a Charity show featuring many Star Wars actors - ALL were INCREDIBLE and GENEROUS people!
- Dave Prowse who played Darth Vader in the Original Trilogy.
- Eric Walker who played Mace Towani in the Ewok Movies Battle for Endor and the Ewok Adventure.
- Mark Austin who was an ILM Animator and played Boba Fett in the Star Wras Special Edition
- Felix Silla who played an Ewok in Jedi but is best know as the Original Cousin Itt in the Addams Family and Twiki in Buck Rogers.
- Phil Brown who played Uncle Owen in the 1st Star Wars movie. Our show was Phil's last public appearance and he has now retired from the convention circuit. He is now in a nursing home and can no longer sign. He and his wife Ginny were a pleasure to have!
There are so many more, but I would also like to hear from some others encounters with the Star Wars Universe actors!

I met all of the AOTC stars attending the London Premiere, each and every single one, including the producer and director where very warm and friendly. Not just that, but the respect they showed for each other but still having a lot of fun and constantly joking. I had a great time. Seems to me that the bigger and more accomplished the star is, the nicer. Saying that, SW must be like a virus because Haydn Christiansen was incredibly nice and down to earth.

I have only met 1 and that is Mr. Lee, so for me he is the best.:) and will take some beating. I would love to have met Peter Cushing.

I realise that this is a SW forum, but has anyone met any of the stars from LOTR?

The only person I have met that is associated with LOTR is Howard Shore who did the music. He has been a customer of mine for 15 years and lives 10 minutes away. I have not seen him in a while(he is extremely busy), but he is always very pleasant.
Strangely, I also know Leonard Rosenman who did the music for the 1978 cartoon LOTR movie.
