Although you may meet only one or two celebrities in your lifetime, celebrities meet thousands of people every year. So meeting one doesn’t make you special, and with extraordinarily few exceptions, you learn nothing particularly interesting. You’re way better off just meeting interesting regular people, the kind who might remember your name or have any interest in seeing you again.
What did I learn from meeting a celebrity? Well, for one, George Lucas is even shorter than you think. He’s about 5’3”. High school kids tower over him.
Once I rode an airport moving sideway behind Barry Bonds (he was in first class on my plane), but I can’t say I met him.
At Cafe du Monde of course
