Very true Fray101, the con-force is strong with you!

Not sure if anyone will notice this thread but the other one is long already - madness

Oh dear, this thread title is going to haunt me for another 6 months, isn't it, maybe?

Does anyone know what proportion of dedicated BSG fans are going? I'm not knocking the show but the more Firefly/Serenity content, the better. I'd particularly like a few of the movie stars (Chiwetel Ejiofor comes to mind) to discuss it with us. Although if the girl who plays Starbuck came along, that wouldn't be all bad. Although Dirk Benedict would be best.

I think if us Firefly fans get in quick then Sean will probably angle it heavily towards us.

Well there are currently no announced guests for BSG soo... probably not a whole lot of them going as of now?

I am hoping Sean gives up with the BG aspect BUT he is a canny lad and may bring one or two guests along in order to try and convert people to the new BG. Now Buffy and Angel cannot support cons very easily he is going to need to replace those with something else - Firefly can only go so far.

He often has overlap in his cons to try and encourage a broader audience as well as encourage people to attend later cons they might not necessarily go to - this is how Starfury gets such a loyal attendee group.

Personally though I would rather the money for guests go to more BDH!

I commented in the other thread that I was curious (worried?) how much Battlestar Galactica there would be in comparison with Firefly.

But...Dirk Benedict was the love of my teenage life (along with Jason from Battle of the Planets!) so all would be forgiven if he came...

Guess all be revealed soon enough.

Amen.

Considering the film comes out a month before, BSG might not get much of a look-in. And that could be quite embarrassing. I dunno!

I don't know really... Sean says he has asked 2 BSG guests so far, but is waiting for replies.

Sean also said he will have to wait for more ticket sales before he confirms anymore that four guests. And with 1/3 already sold and sales continuing on Wednesday..hopefully they'll go out like hot cakes!

And he has said that there will be a Sean/Summer photoshoot.

Oh so shiny!

He also said, if Jewel goes, there will be a Sean/Jewel photoshoot.

So it looks like we can expect more FF guests.

David Krumholtz would also be great BDM guest. As for BG guests it said on flyers at Serinity that it would be BG'04, so the chance for any of the female stars of the mini-series and series would be much greater.
