After some relaxing time spent away from the internet, I’m excited to jump back into the Star Wars news cycle.
Star Wars Celebration is a little over three months away and it is easily my most anticipated event of 2019. I was fortunate enough to attend in 2017 and had the time of my life and I’ve been dying to go back ever since.
With the event quickly approaching, guest announcements have begun to roll out as well as the reveal of the official Celebration poster. Guests for the convention also include actors from many movies, TV shows, and games as well as many authors and artists. Some notable actors already committed to the convention include:
- James Arnold Taylor – Obi-Wan Kenobi
- Sam Witwer – Darth Maul, Starkiller, The Emperor
- Joonas Suotamo – Chewbacca
- Matthew Wood – General Grievous
- Janina Gavankar – Iden Versio
- Greg Grunberg – Snap Wexley
- Dave Chapman – BB-8 puppeteer
- Christopher Sean – Kazuda Xiono
- Suzie McGrath – Tam Ryvora
- Scott Lawrence – Jarek Yeager
- Ian McElhinney – General Dodonna
- Orli Shoshan – Shaak Ti
- Paul Kasey – Admiral Raddus puppeteer
Be sure to check back for more announcements (fingers crossed Hayden Christensen or Matt Lantern will attend) and visit StarWarsCelebration.com for the full guest list.
The official Celebration poster was also revealed and the gorgeous artwork includes both Light and Dark Side heroes and villains for all eras of the saga. Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, Rey, Finn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Kylo Ren, Boba Fett, Maul, and Darth Vader make for an impressive display within the ancient Jedi symbol.
Star Wars Celebration Chicago takes place April 11-15.
