Thanks for the info Matt. I've been promising the boys I'll take them to one soon but I must admit I'm a little worried. At least an hours drive to get there, then queing to see actors & what's this about a £10-30 charge for autographs

Knowing my boys they might get fed up with it all. Will let you know if we do decide to go and try & catch up @ some point.

I take it there are other (free?) things to do there other than just queue to see the stars? Do you think 10 & 11 year olds would like it??? (given that they are big SW fans of course, but also kids with a pretty short attention span. lol)

One of my friends at work got the Making of Episode III book at the weekend and we had a good look at it today - oh yes, this is going to rock sideways.

Plenty of "fuck me" spoiler photo's and scene descriptions in it that have made it into the film (I won't tell unless you want me to!) but one idea I'm glad they ditched was a 10 year old Han Solo helping Yoda!

Shadyboy, where did he get the EP III book from!?

Got the book at Borders in Glasgow - I'd imagine your nearest would have it as well.
