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)

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!

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)
