Me in Hobbiton, earlier this year.
As if trekking
through jungle mountains, visiting lost tribes, discovering ancient temples and
searching for fabled antiquities in the wilds of Southeast Asia isn’t enough,
I’ll now be moving on to adventures in time and space…
During August
23-26 I’ll be covering Lucasfilm’s ‘Star Wars Celebration VI.’ The event,
hosted by the creators of Star Wars and Indiana Jones, is held every two years
and is an opportunity to meet the original cast and crew from the movies and tv
shows. It also is an opportunity for George Lucas to give sneak peaks at
upcoming projects as well as address rumours of a new live-action tv series and
spin-off Star Wars movies. The event will also host the premier of Clone Wars
Season 5.
Attending the
event will be Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia),
Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), Kenny Baker (R2D2, Time Bandits), Ian McDiarmid
(Emperor Palpatine), Warwick Davis (Wicket, Willow, Harry Potter’s Professor
Flitwick), Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett from the original trilogy), Daniel Logan (Young
Boba Fett from the new trilogy and Clone Wars), Temuera Morrison (Jango Fett)
and many more.
Then in November,
it’s off to New Zealand again to cover the world premier of The Hobbit on the 28th in
Wellington. There will be a week-long festival in the nation’s capital, capped
off with a massive, star-studded parade. I’ll be reporting on all the
activities and the red-carpet event, as well as the filming of the
recently-announced third Hobbit movie. Reprising roles from the Lord of the
Rings Trilogy are Ian McKellen (Gandalf), Elijah Wood (Frodo), Orlando Bloom (Legolas), Hugo Weaving (Elrond),
Cate Blanchett (Galadriel) and many more.
