Star Wars Stars Shine at Memorabilia

Memorabilia invaded the NEC in Birmingham again this past weekend, bringing along with it a host of Star Wars-related guests including Steven Calcutt, Brian Muir and Rusty Goffe. The Sunday Mercury website shared some of the excitement of the event, along with a few words with Memorabilia guest Warwick Davis, who made it very clear what he would be writing on his 2011 Census form.

“I haven’t filled it in yet, but I will put Jedi in the religion section. Why not? It’s recognised as a religion now.”

Warwick also had this to say about his forthcoming new series Life’s Too Short with Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and some secret guest stars…

“I basically play myself but with a much bigger ego. I have wanted to work with Ricky for a while and I also starred in Extras. When I told him of my idea he was really keen on it.

He took the idea to the BBC and they loved it. I’m really excited about it, although comedy is one of the hardest genres to do.

It’s great to have Johnny (Depp) on board. There are others in it, too, but I’m not allowed to say who.”

Check out the link below for the full article. Oh, and Warwick – remember that Census form needs to be in the post first thing tomorrow…
