Meeting the man behind Gentle Giant!

With all that was going on with setting-up at Celebration Europe, we nearly forgot to report on the events at Forbidden Planet where president of Gentle Giant, Karl Meyer was on hand to sign the Commander Bly mini-bust and Yoda and R2-D2 Maquette as part of the Gentle Giant World Tour.

The event was a resounding success, and was ably managed by all at Forbidden Planet.  The store even stayed open later than planned to accommodate the hordes of people!

Our thanks to Karl and everyone at Forbidden Planet; it was a great way to start a weekend of non-stop Star Wars!
