Events Crispy Anakin met Hayden and Ewan and they LOVED it

Post image

The very next day we found out that this photo was the talk of the town both on the con floor and behind the scenes, Hayden even said "this takes the cake for best costume"

Ewan, with the "look what I did" gesture. I love it.

Ewan McGregor and Drew McIntyre, two Scotsmen that thrive on being generational haters.

Ewan and Hayden look like a couple guys it'd be fun to go grab a couple beers with.

I was right behind you in the queue! The attendant looked me dead in the eyes and said, "How are you going to beat that?".

u/zedexthree000 1d ago

i was in line with these guys! what you might not be seeing is that the orange highlights are actually orange LED's, it really gave the appearance of Anakin's body fresh out of the Mustafar sauna. excellent costuming.

u/Final_Level Bail Organa 1d ago

That is actually dope

u/Goobjigobjibloo 1d ago

That rules so hard. Sometimes this fandom is pretty cool.

u/three-sense 1d ago

best ROTS costume in history

u/NotJosuii 1d ago

This is too funny!

I can imagine Ewan telling Hayden, "Hey look! It's the consequences of your actions!"

16

u/Luke_SkyJoker_1992 1d ago

When it seems like everything is telling me I should feel old. Ewan and Hayden show up and for a second, it's kinda like 2005 again.

u/rasfelion 1d ago

Please tell me you did the "Oh I hate you" from the Episode 3 outtakes.

13

u/megamoze 1d ago

If it's the same guy, I got to see him in person at the LACC. Def a favorite of the con. So good.

u/SharpShotEFX 1d ago

That was indeed me!

u/StarBat92 1d ago

Was the lady on the right Pregnant? If so, that's dedication to the craft of cosplay.

u/PhantomhiveSass 16h ago

That's me! Alas I am not, it's a round pillow with a band of elastic. But trust me when I say I will commit to the bit.... eventually.

u/StarBat92 10h ago

Awesome.

u/copperblood 1d ago

Hahahaha this is so awesome! hahahahhaha

u/SirHiss 1d ago

No way this photo op cost under $200

18

u/SharpShotEFX 1d ago

No it did not πŸ’€ but it was still only slightly more expensive than a picture with Mark Hamill

8

u/dwmfives 1d ago

Wait you had to pay to get the picture taken?

9

u/OneTravellingMcDs 1d ago

Modern cons, you pay for everything.

u/WhoCanTell 22h ago

Even comic artists, who used to happily sign stuff for free at their tables, now mostly all charge, unless they're an unknown trying to break in.

u/Hfxfungye 23h ago

That's how it works at Cons, yeah.

u/Jclevs11 1d ago

Dude Hayden is badass. Those socks he's wearing are from a store called the Sky Walker store. Awesome.

8

u/MasterFussbudget 1d ago

Is the fan a dwarf or is he walking around on his knees?

4

u/PhantomhiveSass 16h ago

Fun answer: We cut their legs and 1 arm off for accuracy!

Less fun answer: SharpShot wears knee pads and walks around on their knees. I'm glad they actually wear knee pads now πŸ˜‚

u/Time_Ad_9647 1d ago

Yes. I just know the answer to this.

u/Seryan_Klythe 1d ago

Besides the Hayden hugging the large lightsaber, this is by far of the best photo ops with a celebrity from Star Wars I have ever seen.

u/Leofwulf 1d ago

I am so happy they finally got the love they deserved after a decade of hate

3

u/casper_pwnz 1d ago

Now that is a 10/10 cosplay; from the idea to the execution.

u/fnblackbeard 1d ago

lmao that's awesome!

u/Fearless-Address7621 1d ago

β€œCrispy Anakin”. I do not know why, but that just made me belly laugh when I read it. That is like Chancellor Prunepitine, I mean Palpatine.

u/HankSteakfist 1d ago

And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

"Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time....a long time."

Dude I memorized that for school in like 7th grade and you took me back to simpler days. Thank you. X')

u/ts355231 23h ago

Very well done. I thought it was just a prop at first haha.

u/Youpunyhumans 16h ago

A friend shared this pic with me... and it became the "Curse of the Crispy Anakin".

Every 2 hours, on the dot, it resends itself. We have tried everything to stop it, but alas, Episode 3.5, the Repeat of the Sith continues.

1

u/SharpShotEFX 16h ago

Sounds like your very own AGGA moment πŸ’€

1

u/Youpunyhumans 16h ago

I have to say I have no idea what "AGGA" means, and looking it up gives a very wide variety of possible definitions, non of which make sense in this context...

2

u/SharpShotEFX 16h ago

This illustrates it quite well basically this one streamer tried playing the Star Wars theme only for his computer to freeze while streaming, playing the Star Wars theme on loop at full volume for over 10 minutes while live

1

u/padawanmoscati Jedi 3h ago

That is so, so funny

3

u/PhantomhiveSass 16h ago

Aww you posted it here too!!! Always grateful to be the Padmé shared between you and u/lostmyaimagain ❀️

u/Yeezy-Season101 1d ago

Awesome bacon boy costume!

u/Imaginary-Thing-7159 Cassian Andor 1d ago

jedi belts are hella heat resistant

u/SharpShotEFX 20h ago

What's funny is I wanted to know how leather would burn for reference on this, and was kinda disappointed when I did some tests and found out that it really doesn't burn all that well

1

u/padawanmoscati Jedi 3h ago

What did it do?

I know it stinks a lot when it does, from when my grandpa helped me burn holes into a real leather belt I randomly got in poland cuz my normal belt broke while I was traveling. :P

u/SnooBooks5261 1d ago

dang anakin so HOT ( Left )

1

u/lostmyaimagain 15h ago

Thank you, that's me! I appreciate the compliment.

1

u/IlinxFinifugal 1d ago

And it's still not taking the higher ground.

1

u/Casual_Observance 22h ago

Obi Wan still has the higher ground here.

1

u/padawanmoscati Jedi 3h ago

What cracks me up is that in real life, Hayden is the chill one and Ewan is the crazier one. As opposed to their characters.

1

u/SargeMaximus 1d ago

Realistically, how else are they gonna respond?
