There doesn't appear to be any Star Wars celebrities this year, but Hasbro is listed as being there ... a good time to tell them what you think of their packing and distribution system.

It's good that they've got Tem coming, but 2 hours signing on 1 day?
Surely they could hype him up, throw him a small sum, and put him on a proper signing schedule for the weekend?
Does not compute in my little brain.

I did say "celebrities" ... not ex-Shortland Street two-bit never-wases.

Tem's cool; had a lot of fun working with him on the Star Wars episode of his 'The Tem Show'. He's hugely popular overseas, at Celebration conventions and DragonCon when he attends.

Tem's a big deal on the Star Wars scene.
Typical kiwi tall poppy attitude plays it down, but we should be proud that one of our own is a genuine Star Wars celebrity.

There's no denying Tem's a major player in SW celebrity land nowadays and very popular with the fans because he has a great attitude.
