I'm seriously considering attending this.  And Mr. Christensen isn't the only Hayden who will be there.  :)

Heard about this just before C4 and am looking into attending just for Hayden as it would be awesome to meet him. All the Vaders are going to be in attendence so it should be a hell of a time  ;D.

Any word about Bob Anderson?  He was the Vader dueling stunt double, and he's a legendary hollywood swordmaster.  I know that he worked on TESB at the least.  He also was the swordmaster for LOTR.

And I'm seriously thinking about driving up to Toronto for this one.

It's still a pretty impressive lineup, Bob Anderson or not.  I'll be making my way up across the border for this one.

Even in Canadian dollars that's a bit steep.

Especially when you consider how much the US dollar has fallen in the last four years.  The greenback has lost about one third of its value since late 2002.  Forecasts are for dollars, Canadian and US, to trade at par by year's end.  Most of you guys weren't even alive the last time the Canadian dollar had this much value.  It's been a long time coming.

OK, so I am reading over at RS (http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=2718894&Main=2694397#Post2718894) that for an additional $95. you can get another autograph but wait it gets better... yeah right.

This from Ben Stevens in that thread:

Fyi scummers... I got a flyer from Aman (the promoter for Toronto) at San Diego at Comic-Con with Hayden cancelled from appearing at the Toronto event. Temeura has been booked as his replacement.

For those of you who have been in contact with me the past couple of weeks wanting Hayden photos and I have been cryptic in my response about you needing to wait... Now it has been formally announced. I only found out from Aman a few weeks ago that Hayden couldnt attend and didn't want those of you who wrote about quantity Hayden pricing to get stuck with lots of unusable inventory... Hopefully Hayden can make Aman's or another event soon.

Not so good.  :-\

Not sure WTF is going on with this Hayden Christensen thing, the Expo site has nada mentioned. Only that Hayden Panettiere has been postponed until 2008.

Hmmm.  Well Hayden Christensen was the whole reason for me to go to the Toronto Con.  If he's not showing then I'm not making the trip.  To me it sounds like he got a movie gig and cancelled the appearance.  That happens when you're dealing with actors who work.  The money of a movie or tv role is way better than what they'll make at a convention.

HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN

Dear Fan Expo attendees,

It is with much disappointment that we must inform you that Hayden Christensen's representatives have advised us that he can no longer attend his scheduled appearance on August 25 at Fan Expo Canada. A career opportunity has come up and he will now be shooting a film on location in Asia for the next few months.

If the opportunity in the future presents itself, we would like to have Hayden appear at Fan Expo Canada, but at this time we will have to offer refunds to all those who have purchased the special event ticket in advance.

 Please accept our apologies for the situation. We at Fan Expo Canada pride ourselves in having a very good track record for the hottest star appearances, but as in this case, the bigger the star, the bigger risk that they may have to cancel.

FOR ALL HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN TICKET HOLDERS:

If you purchased a special ticket for Hayden Christensen, via telephone or internet from Ticketmaster or the Fan Expo Canada web site, your credit card will be refunded by August 15th. If you purchased via non credit card transaction, a cheque will be mailed to you shortly.

FOR ALL HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN VIP PACKAGE HOLDERS:

If you purchased a Hayden Christensen VIP package from any outlet, Fan Expo Canada will refund you the same as above, but we will honour your VIP reservation with a complimentary Deluxe Pass to the this year's Fan Expo Canada as an apology and a thank you for your support. Also upon check in, you will receive, at no charge, a Star Wars Event Priority Seating ticket, that will entitle you to be seated before the general ticket holders for David Prowse & Jake Lloyd Q & A session on Saturday, August 25th.

To claim your complimentary Deluxe Pass & Priority Seating ticket, please check in at the Public Relations office when you arrive at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and show them your identification in person. You do not need to bring anything with you other than your ID, and you do not need to contact us as we already have your complete information. Thank you for your continuing understanding and support.
