"My grateful thanks to all at Convention Guests and Showmasters for supporting my appearance at Collectormania 17. I was honoured to be invited to attend as a guest on Saturday, for what was my first convention. The whole event was a thoroughly enjoyable and humbling experience. I am particularly indebted to Sarah-Louise McGrath who had the onerous task of being my assistant for the day. "
Ralph Morse at Collectormania 17 Sarah-Louise McGrath - Ralph's assistant for the day
"It was a real pleasure to meet, converse, share anecdotes and sign autographs for the fans of Star Wars, James Bond, Dr Who and the other projects with which I have had the good fortune to be involved."
Ralph signing a genuine original stormtrooper helmet ...
... and then wearing it.
"Some the items I was asked to sign are really very precious and valuable indeed. Posters with literally hundreds of signatures on them, rare books, models, and of course the iconic helmet. It is quite a responsibility as so many of these items are irreplaceable."
Meeting the fans was only part of the experience ...
Ralph Morse and Mark Capri - (Corporal Derdram and Officer M'Kae - TESB)
"It was such a thrill to see Mark after all these years ... both being officers on Darth Vader's Command ship it was a little like a regimental reunion."

Ralph also discovered that his Imperial Comms Officer has a name, Corporal Derdram and appears on his own game playing and collecting card.
Ralph also enjoyed reminiscing with Kenny Baker in the Green Room.

"We briefly talked about Star Wars but also The Elephant Man on which we both worked. It was so good to see him again."
Stephen Calcutt and Shirley Conrad
"It certainly brought back memories seeing Stephen and Shirley again. Stephen was one of the first artists I remember meeting during the filming of TESB while Shirley and I were rebels at Hoth. Shirley is married to..."
Les Conrad a.k.a .Gammorean Guard, ROTJ
... Les, who is best known as the iconic figure from ROTJ and a true gentleman."
Dean Mitchell, Cellheim Anujo
"It was real pleasure to be introduced to an actor I had not met before. Dean played the role of Cellheim Anujo in the prequels. Dean is a very experienced actor appearing in the Harry Potter films and the rebranded Dr Who series."
