Our first pictures from the German Premiere at the Berlinale Film Festival house in Berlin. The premiere took place on May 17, 2005..

The key to heaven : With a yellow bracelet, given only to crew members we were free to go everywhere, except the star´s lounge, and to see the movie. |
I |
The 501st starts to get ready. |
I |
Waiting, waiting..... |
I |
And Action ! |
I |
Now it´s R2´s turn to rol out to the audience..... |
I |
And the crowd goes wild (a bit). This was still about two hours before the big names arrived. |
I |
I think I should get royalties from Kodak for making people take so many pictures. The girls were even shouting "R2 come overhere !". (Although when Chewie showed up, I had to take a second place. EVERY one of those girls wanted to cuddle with Chewie...... |
I |
The paper press guys. Mareike in the background (yes, maybe a little short for a Stormtrooper) (She´ll kill me for this). |
I |
Posing for the cameras. There´s still a sense of order on the red carpet. This is about to change...... |
I |
Yours truly trying to roll over that security guy ... |
I |
Troopers on two sides of a fence. The Troopers on the inside had a yellow bracelet, those on the outside did not. Life can be a bitch........(but it´s good if you have a yellow bracelet) |
I |
The Gamorrean Guard was referred by the press as "The pig" |
I |
The red carpet is slowly filling up with "suits".. No real stars in sight yet.... |
I |
Chewie working the crowd. He was the girl´s favourite (except
for Hayden maybe ;-) ). |
I |
Ah, finally a celebrity. Pretty cute she is, but who is she ? If somebody could please enlighten me...... Me on the left, trying tro poke my remote control´s antenna through Mareike´s trooper armour (uupss) |
I |
Ahhh, the Flanneled One ! George gets out of his Mercedes. My wife close to the action as always.... |
I |
Rick McCallum arrived just a moment before George, accompanied by not one, but two charming blonde ladies. |
I |
WOW ! George Lucas waiting for his interview just three feet away. |
I |
Hayden Christensen bathing in the crowd. He´s the small back in the middle, right underneath the middel lamppost in the background. He´s relly wirey, looks much more muscled in the film. |
I |
Hayden gettting interviewed right in front of us. |
I |
My wife´s favourite photo. Much too young for her, anyway...... |
I |
Another one of Hayden. He´s soo thin...... |
I |
I never thought I would get THAT close to Natalie Portman..... Very brave she is, it was very cold and windy on that evening ! |
I |
George answering the same stupid questions to every reporter. I even got asked by some press guys "Which one of them is this Lucas ?". |
I |
George, Mareike "Yes, I´m too short for a Stormtrooper", and myself with the remote control. Photo courtesy of 20th Century Fox. |

Yours truyl with his trusted astrodroid that has brought me so
far..... |
