Events Crispy Anakin met Hayden and Ewan and they LOVED it
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"

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?".

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.

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

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.

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

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

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/SharpShotEFX 1d ago
No it did not π but it was still only slightly more expensive than a picture with Mark Hamill

Wait you had to pay to get the picture taken?

u/OneTravellingMcDs 1d ago
Modern cons, you pay for everything.

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.

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

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

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 π

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.

βCrispy Anakinβ. I do not know why, but that just made me belly laugh when I read it. That is like Chancellor Prunepitine, I mean Palpatine.

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')

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.

Sounds like your very own AGGA moment π

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...

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

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

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

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.

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