Stage Hosts have been announced. David Collins, Warwick Davis, and Amy Ratcliffe will be performing hosting duties. Mr. Collins provided voices for stormtroopers in the Force Awakens. Mr. Davis, of course, was the star of Willow and was Wicket the Ewok in Return of the Jedi. Ms. Ratcliffe is a writer who has contributed to the Nerdist, IGN, and Star Wars Insider.

One spotlight guest has been announced. Mr. Doug Chiang is Lucasfilm Vice President and Executive Creative Director. He “oversees designs for all new Star Wars franchise developments including films, theme parks, games, and new media.” There is not a lot of information about what he will be doing there but it looks like he will be appearing at a panel.
