Daniel Logan, known to countless Star Wars fans as Boba Fett, is in Germany right now for Jedi-Con, an official Star Wars Fan Club event. He’s graciously agreed to be our eyes and ears on the convention floor and chimes in with this report:
Hello Everyone!
This is Daniel Logan giving you report from Dusseldorf Germany on Jedi Con 2008. I arrived into the Dusseldorf Airport last night. I had a long flight from Los Angeles and connected through London’s Heathrow Airport. This is my first visit to Germany! When I arrived into Dusseldorf I was glad to see the hotel was literally just outside the airport. I was able to check into the new Maritim Hotel, also where the convention is being held. It is a very nice hotel and the convention area is very nice as well.
(The view from my hotel)
The convention started today. All the guests started meeting the attendees at 2PM. The list of guests is: Steve Sansweet, Jeremy Bulloch, Daniel Logan (that’s me), Orli Shoshan, Robert Watts, Mike Edmonds, Barrie Holland, Christian Simpson, Derek Lyons and Tim Dry. We were all there until 7PM.

At 8:30PM there were the opening ceremonies. It was mostly in German, so I do not know what was said. They did have a funny film to open, again in German, but it was well done and had some funny visuals- referring to Star Trek. And after the short film a Borg from Star Trek came on stage, killed an Imperial Officer and then was promptly killed by a Sith. Then two Jedi came on stage and had a duel to the death with the Sith. Unfortunately, the Sith did not survive. After the stage demonstration, all the guests were introduced by the Master of Ceremonies, Robert Eiba. I was last to be introduced, just after Jeremy Bulloch.

Please take a look at the pictures I sent over. There will be more tomorrow. Hope you enjoy my reports!

Hey Daniel,
You were awesome to watch, it was hilarious to see you leap off the stage to get a mike to an audience member asking a question! Your enthusiasm for everything was REALLY infectious and It was really great to get to see and meet you as well as the other guests. Good luck with your studies and everything else…hope to see you back on the big and small screen soon!
cheers

Hi Daniel!
Thank you so much for your accounts of the activities over at JediCon. I don’t know if you’ll get to, but I hope you have some time to see at least a little of Germany. It’s a beautiful country.
It has been wonderful to see how much you appreciate the fans, keeping up to date with us. It really means a lot to us!
I hope you’re having a grand time!

Hey Daniel!
Remember me from your last visit to Mexico?
Great to read some news direct from you.
I hope I will attend to a convention soon, would like to keep in touch somehow!
Un abrazo amigo!
Hallo Daniel,
you were really great at the convention!Your lightsaber-duel with
some fans directly on the hotel floor will be unforgotten.Maybe you remember my 11-year-old son Thore.He was the little red haired Jedi,you met twice in the hotel elevator.Good luck for the future!
Greetings Timm
hello Daniel,
I just wanted to thank you for stepping up to the plate and taking on the role of Boba Fett so long ago. Without your performance, the galaxies perception of Boba might have been very different. I hope to be able to make it to a convention someday!
PS–so waht if it was just a few years ago? it seems like forever now
Hello Daniel,
you know the tall guy with the red costume and the blue face? Your video i will send until it is finally cut.
I hope you enjoy your stay.
See you next time

Its great to see you out and about enjoying 2008.
It was really nice meeting you at Frank and Son at the beginning of the year. I was even hoping to say hi at Wizard world LA. But I didn’t see you there.
The interview you did for me for the Force Cast went over great. Jason and Peter really appreciated it.
Thanks for keeping your fans informed and being so cool with us aswell.
