Baby Boba no replacement for Jane

[captain_slinky]

Awful, terrible, no-good very bad news on the ECCC website this morning...

Another last-minute addition, DANIEL LOGAN has signed on at the last minute to appear at the Emerald City ComiCon. He will be replacing ADAM BALDWIN, who will be unable to appear due to a filming commitment.

Daniel is best known for his role as young Boba Fett from the Star Wars: Episode 2 - Attack of the Clones.

I know of a lot of people who were making HUGE PLANS for this convention based on getting to see Adam Baldwin. This is devastating! And to have this announcement just ONE WEEK before the show? Terrible... awful... and really, did they think that BABY BOBA FETT was really an apt replacement? Is that really an equal exchange? THEY'RE BREAKING THE FIRST RULE OF ALCHEMY!!!

Here is a short list of guests they could have had come that would have been an equal exchange, IMHO. Please feel free to respond with your own suggestions... but remember it should be somebody *equal to* Adam Baldwin, not *GREATER THAN*.

• Bruce Campbell
  
• Nathan Fillion
  
• Bill Mummy
  
• Michael Rosenbaum
  
• Neil Patrick Harris
  
• The cast of "The Big Bang Theory"
  
• Patrick Warburton
  
• A Professional Wrestler (pick one... they've all got some sci-fi/fantasy/action film in the works)

Bummer...

Sometimes we think alike...

The first on my list was Bruce Campbell too.

But, I do feel that Nathan would fall under the 'better then' category.

Y'know, I thought long and hard about Nathan for this... but I finally came up with "Equal To" simply because he doesn't currently have anything going in the Geekomunity, and Adam Baldwin does ("Chuck"). Other than that, both have been in about an equal amount of projects that appeal to us, both have aboutr as much clout in the Real World... I thuink it would be a fair trade.

But for BABY BOBA FETT?!?!? The SECOND MOST HATED CHARACTER IN THE STAR WARS PREQUELS?!?!? A guy who hasn't done ANYTHING ELSE?!?!? Nope, not buying it. They OWE me this year!

I thought about Nathan Fillon long and hard too...

Um, er...

Yeah! Baby Boba fett? What is that shit?

Well in those incredibly tight pants he wore in Firefly, how can you think of him any other way BUT long and hard?

My bread ain't buttered on that side, but for him? I'd be asking for SOMEBODY to please pass the honey!

(no idea what that actually means)

Because of my new work schedule, I won't be able to go. Hearing that Adam Baldwin isn't going to be there DOES lessen the soul-crushing despair...a little.

Since you asked, I'm thinking that Neil Patrick Harris or Patrick Warburton would have been a fair trade.

I wouldn't say the whole case of "The Big Bang Theory" is worth just one Adam Baldwin. Half the cast, maybe, but not the whole thing.

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Okay, how about just the two main guys then?

[the-4th-doctor.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. Pleasure doing business with you.

Personally dude who plays Wolowitz and Raj...mostly because a)the main guys to much advertising and b)both of them are a little better than adam baldwin...granted i may be biased...lol

Very disappointing about Adam. I'm working on a Jayne hat for the photo op. Luckily, there's other great stuff to do at the Con--and I'll still have the hat.

Thanks for the update.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I was going to get Adam to sign my Serenity Jayne Cobb Action Figure still sealed. My world is now crushed forever. My brown coat is now blue with sadness. I may only go one day this year then in protest.
