Fans already know that actor James Marsters — who played Spike the vampire on Buffy and Angel — has a soft spot for Star Wars — (which is ironic considering his character’s eagerness to destroy a certain Mr. Boba Fett action figure.)
In fact, he played Captain Argyus in “Cloak of Darkness” on Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series – which you can read all about in our interview with Marsters here.
In a recent Q&A where Marsters answers fan question on his official site, we were excited to learn that he would be interested in suiting up in stormtrooper armor for the next Dragon*Con.
We sure hope someone from the 501st is reading this, because we have a feeling seeing Marsters in trooper gear would make a lot of fans happy. HINT HINT.
Excerpt:
You mentioned that you’d love to come to Dragon*Con in costume. Who or what would you come as?
Stormtrooper, stormtrooper, stormtrooper.

I’m not even a huge Empire fan, but the Stormtrooper costume is awesome no matter who you’re cheering for. I hope he does it sometime!
It’s like Sam Jackson’s self-fulfilling prophecy of landing a role in the prequels…
DragonCon? Isn’t he aiming kind of low?
I would like to say that I’d like to be a stormtrooper, or a droid, or a bounty hunter, in the STAR WARS TV SERIES. George, I know you’re reading this. I’m your man. Anything with a helmet. Pretty please.
Marsters usually goes to Dragon*Con as far as I know, though I wish someone would convince him to go to San Diego Comic-Con.
He got one from his fans at this (2009) Dragon*Con
