If anyone's interested, the book by Louis Koo is available at the Commercial Press bookshop (North Bridge Rd and basement of The Cathay). Ard $30. But it's entirely in Traditional Chinese text though. Only a small section is about Star Wars while the rest of the book deals with his otaku pilgrimage to Japan, etc.

Just returned from the meet-up dinner (actually we didn't ate much). Louis is so talkative just like a normal fan. He is still on his way by finding a nice TIE pilot costume and ask for my help.

Took lots of pictures but might be take for a little while, since I have to pass all the pictures to Louis's agent for review first.
