One of my favorite moments at Fan Expo Vancouver this past weekend was this robot ready for romance!
When you think of protocol droid C3PO you may not immediately jump to thinking of him as “ladies man.”
I wanted to share this cosplayer’s clever pick up line inspired by the greatest sci-fi movie of all time. At Fan Expo Vancouver over the weekend this Star Wars fan sported the goldenrod droid’s look with this sign:
“Ladies, this is the droid you’re looking for!”
No word on if he made a connection!
The actors who played Darth Vader (David Prowse) and young Boba Fett (Daniel Logan) were among the celebrities greeting fans. I’m sure this 3PO was in line!
For more cosplay from Vancouver here’s a link to day one and two.

Rachel Nichols as Kiera Cameron in Continuum courtesy Showcase
The cast of the hit sci-fi show Continuum made a special appearance at Fan Expo Vancouver 2013. Fans of the show set and filmed in Vancouver enjoyed a chance to ask burning questions of the time twisting crime drama.
Rachel Nichols plays Kiera Cameron, a police officer for a corporate run law enforcement organization in Vancouver in 2077. The dedicated officer is torn from her family when she’s thrust into the year 2012 along with a fanatic group of terrorists from her time period.
Erik Knudsen plays Alec Sadler the young computer guru who helps her in the present day but could be destined for a dark future. In the shocking season one finale we learned Alec grows up to the corporate overlord who is ultimately responsible for Kieran losing her family.
Nichols and Knudsen told me how the future revelation affects their characters bond and sets the drama for season two.
New interviews with the man who wields the hammer and the man who wields the power in the Marvel cinematic universe plus new images from Thor: The Dark World.
In the sequel the Thunder God (Chris Hemsworth) reconnects with Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) and will battle the Dark Elves led by Malekith (Christopher Eccleston.) USA Today scored these two new pictures from the film plus an update from Marvel Studios Kevin Feige and Hemsworth.
Thor and Jane seem happy in this first photo. The scientist was not part of The Avengers but it seems the Odinson found a way to reunite with his great love from Midgard but expect romantic rumblings:
“Thor still has lot of explaining to do, and a lot of making up,” Hemsworth said. “Even demigods end up in the doghouse, mate. So none of us is safe.”
“So while Thor was a fish out of water on Earth in the first two films, this time Jane is very much a fish out of water in Asgard,” Feige said.
“We were worried about coming across as hokey or whatever,” Hemsworth said. “If there is anyone who can pull off a fantastical world like Asgard with a great amount of integrity, it is Alan Taylor, as we’ve seen in Game of Thrones.”
“It’s superhero action, but it’s the familiar territory of a love triangle where the parents think your girlfriend is wrong for you,” Feige said. “That’s how the best of these movies work.”
