You should consider yourself very lucky.

She is rare to even sign much less SW stuff.

Wow. One of the more surprising and impressive successes in a while. Congrats!

Wow, I am kinda jealous of that. I dont like PT too much but dang!

Amazing! Congrats, soloyan.

Bloody hell!

Thanks !

I am currently under shock.
I bought this pic a while ago thinking 1/it is a great picture (in fact there is a similar pic with Ewan) and 2/it does not "scream" Star Wars. I thought it could pass for something else... Anyway, I got there pretty late, got to 4th row of the red carpet. I chose a spot where the majority of the people up front were the Black Swan teenage fangirls, not the usual autograph hunters. I admit I thought it would be easier to get past young girls than mature males. I know, it's not very noble but...
Just minutes before getting there, I had cut a piece of A4 sheet to hide the OPX logo.
Natalie came, she did not want to sign, she went to the cameras. A friend of mine did a little interview and overheard the PR guys advising Natalie fans would not be pleased if she didn't sign at all. So she went to us, all smiles, signing for a few and even posing with fans. My friend told me she carefully chose what crowd she'd sign for.

i got very lucky indeed.

While there is certainly the element of luck, it sounds like you did everything right to give yourself the chance. Well done!

That is the only sw photo signed by portman I have ever seen. I've heard of others existing in private collections. Congrats man! Don't let that one go!

I hate to be "that guy", but she signed the actual photo right? Not just the toploader.
