Star Wars Convention: Episode 1

[mariorti1]

its not called Vater Tater its called Darth Tarter. I remember it cos no matter wot its a dark lord of the sith so its gunna start wiv "Darth" and Tater sounds like Vader.

[REYP6]

I HAVE THE BOBBLE HEAD!

[anakin1814]

Cool! Isn't it?

[LoneRider94]

anakin1814, do you have any 'figures' you know like the legacy collection type figures? like small 3.5 inch figures?

[anakin1814]

I have a ton of figures...but nothing older than from the mid-90s I'm afraid to say.

[Beauthegreat1]

I love the vid, star wars is one of my favorite trilogies

[anakin1814]

Thanks! Mine too! :)

[Dauerficka]

same here =)

[anakin1814]

Cool!

[daRTHME55]

were is the second??????????

[anakin1814]

Hopefully I'll have something up in the next week or so! :)

[StarWarsDork]

There is no try... why ain't you tryin'?! :P

[anakin1814]

I know I know I know! SIGH...

[nickCsmith]

LOL Vader Tater,thats sweet

[anakin1814]

Yeah. I dig it! :)

[rmtpjt]

At first I was thinking...what a geek.. and then I realized that I actually have two collectible Star Wars items. A Giant Pez dispenser C3PO and the Mr Potatohead Spudtrooper. I was wondering what your tatoo was from your 50 things about me vid. Now I know. It also explains the Toy Story (2) tie in with Zurg and the I am your father parody. Cool stuff.. Isn't it about time for episode 2?

Write to you later.

[anakin1814]

I want a Spudtrooper! COOL!

And I loved the Zurg tie in in ToyStory 2!

And yeah, it's certainly time for Episode 2.

[brojoghost]

I think it is safe to assume you are familiar with Chad Vader? One of my friends knows him personally!

[anakin1814]

COOL!!

[21stCenturyCat]

Did I hear you correctly? I knew you had a Star Wars tattoo but for some realise I didn't know (or maybe had forgot) that it was of the "I am your father" scene, that must be a large tattoo!

And 6 connected items on 6 videos, you don't do things by 1/2s! ;)

[anakin1814]

Yeah...it's a pretty large tattoo. Now who's the bigger geek? LOL

What do you mean 1/2? I figure that by the time I'm done with this, we'd all post 36 items. This was to stop ppl from just showing their entire collection right away.

[lst3phan117l]

I wish I had star wars stuff :'( lol

[anakin1814]

It's cool! :)

[slab99]

Not to be picky, but shouldn't the first one be episode 4 (IV)?

[anakin1814]

Ha ha!! Good point!!!

I think that would have confused the non-SW fan! But that would have been awesome! LOL

[RPozoA]

Hey, great idea; I really like all your Vaders, my brother has the potato head one. I'll wait for episode 2 to make a video response.

Here in Chile is difficult to find Star Wars stuff, and if you find them they are pretty overpriced; anyway, sometimes you can find a good deal, hehe!

I asked a Star Wars question on my last vlog, it's in spanish but with english subtitles, I'd really like to know your opinion about it if you can. OK, see ya!

-Rodrigo from Chile.

[anakin1814]

I will check your video out! I will probably do my Episode 2 video in 3 or 4 weeks...so you have time to prepare! Thanks for watching! :)

[flydarling]

My mum dated the guy who went on to play Admiral Piett does that count? Saw an x-wing being packed up as they closed the Star Wars exhibition down in London! The company my dad worked for when I was a kid produced the Star Wars wallpaper when the 1st one came out so we had some of that. So cool at the time. Cheers, Lesley

[flydarling]

My mum dated 'Admiral Piett' before she met my dad does that count! We went to the Star Wars Exhibition in London on Valentine's day and it had closed though posters, banners and directions were all still in place. We got to see an x-wing being packed up! I was more disappointed than the kids. Cheers, Lesley

[anakin1814]

That is a cool piece of trivia! Wow!! You could have been Star Wars royalty! LOL

[LeSaMilano]

oh my little Vader Taterkin! I am not a collector of Star Warsy stuff (or anything else- except I do have the remnants of my 50s pottery collection!

However, in my travels in and around town in the various charity shops I have stumbled across a few items - otherwise known as treasure to SW fans I'm sure...and found a goody I bought with you in mind. Look for an upload in your near(ish) future!

xoxoxox

Interesting choice of tattoo. Will psycho-analyze after coffee.

[anakin1814]

COOL! Someday i will give the full story on the tattoo!

[JohnPliskin]

Oh Gary, you love your Star Wars.

I'll have to show off my MGS stuff when I get back to school.

[anakin1814]

Very cool! Are you on spring break?

[spiderhopan]

"Who's your daddy?" Funny stuff...

[anakin1814]

Thanks! :)

[battlebauble]

Saddly, I have no collectibles. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone has. This should be fun!

[anakin1814]

Thanks Darl! I think it will be cool to see too! :)

[lebowskiwinnfield2]

Where did you get the awesome I am your father toy?

[anakin1814]

Target I think!? LOL

Ain't it great?

[jedimaster86]

The first thing kinda looked like the role that Stewie played as Darth Vader in "Blue Harvest"...maybe just cause it's smaller or something, I dunno lol.

Erm, sadly while I'm a fan of the movies (same goes for most movies), I actually don't really have SW collectibles...yeh, the screenname is embarrased at the moment, haha. Take it easy.

[anakin1814]

It totally looked like Stewie! LOL

And hey, at least you have a cool-ass screen name!

[missdivinestalls]

You're wearing the bracelet!! So cool! You're collection is tight. I remember that huge darth vader mug you got as a gift from someone. I forget who. Totally cool.

[anakin1814]

I wore the bracelet when i worked out! It gives me such strength! :)

Yeah, the Vader mug is cool too, I'll be showing that probably along with my Vader cookie jar! :)

[charlee2552]

I really like the art deco Vader, but the Vader Tater is my fav! I want one sooo bad, haha! That is just the coolest. Fun Stuff!

I love SW and I favor LOTR, but I'm cRaZy about Pixar stuff.;)

[anakin1814]

Ain't the Vader Tater thing COOL!?

I love LOTR too and Pixar is some of my favorite stuff EVER!

[trillian57]

Have you watched the 'Star Wars to a 3 year old' viceo yet? It is on the front page, and I thought you'd get a kick out of it.

[anakin1814]

Yeah...I just saw it the other day. It's really really good!

[JeeprzCreepers56]

ha ha ha that key chain would be perfect for Tubegranny!

[anakin1814]

Tubeskanke, yo mama, whatevah! LOL

;)

[TheHappyShow]

Yay!! I will have to find something to show you, Gary.

-- Matt

[anakin1814]

Cool! Looking forward to watching your video Matt! :)

[CptJackSparrow82]

LOL your cat looks like my sisters cat. excellent video by the way too.

[anakin1814]

Thanks!

[JealousGuy]

LMAO, love the outtake, the cantina music goes perfect with it! When I was a kid I had all the action figures, the mini Ewok village, Jabba's whole band, everything. Unfortunately I lost 'em all in the move from GA to WI. Now all I have left is a pic of my sister and Jar-Jar at Pizza Hut, a pic of me and Darth Vader at Wal*Mart, and some kind of 3-d picture of the Hoth battle scene. You got some neat stuff, can't wait to see more!

[anakin1814]

Thanks! It sounds like some of the stuff you had was the bomb! Too bad we end up getting rid of it (usually thanks to the parents)....Oh well.

[girlganja]

I look forward to seeing the responses. I'm a fan... not really a collector...but feel at peace here. :) (LOL @ you telling people not to blow their wad too early... hahahaha )

[anakin1814]

I almost actually said "blow your wad" but thought that might be a bit much!

And glad you feel at peace here! Thank you! :)

[ebiannah]

Kitty! Sorry, not big on Star Wars. That'd be the territory of the husband and one of my sons. Me, I'm more Star Trek and Stargate.

So, again, KITTY!!!

[anakin1814]

You like the kitty? LOL

[Spielbergsp]

I'm not a big fan, but this is gonna be interesting to watch!

[anakin1814]

Yeah, i think so too! :)

[silverscreamgrl]

Interestingly just today I mentioned National Organize Your Home Office Day. I looked at my desk and thought "seriously, you need to put away some of these Yoda toys." :) So I'll make sure to get six related things together before packing them up.

[anakin1814]

Sweet! I need to start organizing some of my SW stuff. That's the problem when you collect things...you need a place for it all.

[silverscreamgrl]

I think that a storage facility may work ;)

[anakin1814]

I need at least one other room in my house! :)

[silverscreamgrl]

I hear you. I need about four more rooms in mine so things wouldn't be as crowded!

[anakin1814]

...and it sucks that I have to put most of the stuff away simply because I don't have room...

[PappyStu]

If you recall I challenged the Cat who was who characterwise StarWars Tuberland users....

He has not responded....

[anakin1814]

I hope the Cat will tend to this! :)

[moridos]

oh i'll be sure to post a vid Re: as soon as i can =)

[anakin1814]

Sweet!

[3BallJosh]

wait...so you're cat is a starwars fan, so you named your channel after your cat? I'm so confused. Man, I gotta find my starwars pez dispensers. Not a huge starwars fanatic, but I loves me some pez

[anakin1814]

Pez dispensers rock! If you gottem' showem! :)

[1DRock37167]

Oh how I wish that I still had the Death Star that I got when I was 10! Maybe I could hook you up with some South Park or Scooby Doo collectibles?

[anakin1814]

Hey--that would be cool too!

[1DRock37167]

I will have to go on a hunt, some of my best stuff is packed away!

D

[anakin1814]

COOL!

[Blizzeekitty]

Yay, I get to show stuff!!

All most of that stuffs. Except for the cat.

LOL at Anikitty on the apple!!

[anakin1814]

Anakitty rarely comes near my computer or me when I'm on there. He must have known it was about his namesake! :)

Cant' wait to watch your video!

[filmidioten]

Geeks rule! <3

[anakin1814]

Amen! :)

[captainfury2007]

YES!!!!!

I will post something tomorrow.

[anakin1814]

Cool man! Thanks for the idea!

[ShortbusMooner]

Ooo! I know what I can show! Yaaaayyyy!

May the Force be with You, Gary! ;)

hehe!

[anakin1814]

The force is strong on this short bus.

:)

[great1138]

k, I gotta find my webcam or a good converter for my camcorder. gotta show off my stuff!

[anakin1814]

Sweet! With 1138 in your name, I new you'd be up for this! :)

[OhCurt]

I agree with you on the taking-out-of-package thing. And WOW you really have A LOT of cool figures there!

LMAO @ the remark for Tubegranny!!

"Don't show me everything" - That's what she said.

[anakin1814]

I'm just wondering how you distinguish the Donna Mills bobble-heads from the real thing?

[OhCurt]

Don't tease!  If ONLY they made Donna Mills bobble-heads.

*heavy sigh*

[anakin1814]

How would the head stay upright? All that eye shadow has to weigh a ton!

[abbyroadme]

Can I do a Beatles one? Since I am a BIG star wars fan, but don't collect stuff it.

[abbyroadme]

Cool!

[anakin1814]

Yeah...no problem! :)

[MissTruly]

I don't have a thing except for the movies.

[anakin1814]

Cool enough! :)

[kenrg]

The Vader potato head is definitely way cool. I have no Star Wars collectibles; instead I have a house. It was a tough choice, but my wife insisted.

[anakin1814]

Ouch!

A house must be nice. Although I'm quite fond of this cardboard box I live in! ;)

[LilCav68]

I don't have a thing!!!!! LOL...

Bobble head.. awesome LOL

OMG potato head!!

Hair is kickin too!

[anakin1814]

Thanks!

The hair is a disaster! This is me after 60 minutes of cardio at the gym. I kicked ass tonight!

[dreamer72fem]

THat was some really cool stuff...me likey.

[anakin1814]

Thanks Stacey! :)

[JustA11en]

Cantina music!

[anakin1814]

Nub nub!

[LuckyStrike502]

I was here.

Sorry, I'm not a Star Wars fan, but I'll still be watching. :)

[anakin1814]

Thanks man! I'm so striking out with some of you...First "Lost," now this! LOL

Thanks for stopping by, I always appreciate it! :)

[IXGertXI]

Very cool, Gary. I'll have to raid the legos ;) Oh, and I think your Anakin and my Frances have a lot in common ;)

[anakin1814]

Nothing gets better than Star Wars Leogs!

Is your Frances a little black kitty too? Okay, I use "little" loosely. Mine is around 18 lbs! :)

[zebidee55]

Oh so _that's_ where the name comes from... LOL!

Can't help with the collectables, just not something I do. Loved seeing your stuff though! Oh, and the weight loss is looking amazing - have you got to the 'I can't wear those pants, they're too big' stage yet?

ROFL! 'He's not a Star Wars collectable, but The Force is strong with this one...'

[anakin1814]

That's where the first part of the name comes from anyway! :)

The pants are getting baggy and next week I will be going shopping for a couple of new belts! Yay!!

[zebidee55]

ROFL! Yeah, I um very much knew that... ;)

Oh, the great thing about clothes shopping is that when you're lighter, _everything_ looks good on you.

[anakin1814]

It starts looking a lot better on me, that's for sure! And for the first time in ages, I've actually started tucking my shirts in again. So I'm feelin' it. I have a long ways to go, but I'm getting there. :)

[Ranblv]

no SW memorabilia here :-)

it will be interesting to see responses.

[anakin1814]

Thanks Ran! The light saber you got me for X-Mas will be in another installment dealing exclusively with light sabers. That miniature replica is one of my favorite peaces in my collection. :)

[Ranblv]

loved the anakin youtube takeover blooper :-)

the force is indeed strong with him.

[anakin1814]

LOL! It's a hostile takeover! Luckily THIS anakin(1814) didn't get hurt! LOL

[zebidee55]

OMG! First?

[anakin1814]

Yup!! LOL

[zebidee55]

That is SUCH a big score on this channel!

[anakin1814]

Ha ha! A year ago you wouldn't have said that! LOL

[zebidee55]

LOL! A year ago YouTube was just something I'd heard of vaguely...

[anakin1814]

Isn't it amazing? Now I'm even saving up money so I can meet other YouTubers in real life!
