Star Wars Celebration

New Guests Star Wars Celebration Announced

Celebration Gets More Stars of the Saga

Star Wars Celebration Chicago is less than 70 days away. SWCC keeps adding to its already star-studded lineup. New guests were announced today covering all different areas of the fandom.

  • Ashley Eckstein: Ms. Exckstein is the voice of the ever popular Ashoka Tano in The Clone Wars and Rebels. Her Star Wars (and now all sci-fi) inspired clothing line, Her Universe is always a must-have item in the Celebration store. She is definitely one of my favorite Star Wars guests.
  • Daniel Logan: Mr. Logan portrayed Boba Fett in Attack of the Clones. He also provided the voice for the character in The Clone Wars. He loves the role, and it shows when you meet him or attend one of his panels.
  • Jett Lucas: Mr. Lucas portrayed Zett Jukassa in Revenge of the Sith. He is also the son of the Maker.
  • John Ratzenberger: Mr. Razenberger portrayed Major Derlin in Empire Strikes Back. Men and Women of a certain age recognize him from Cheers. Men and women (and children) of a younger certain age know him as the guy who does at least one voice in every Pixar movie.
  • Ken Leung: A veteran of JJ Abrams productions, Mr. Leung, portrayed Admiral Statura in The Force Awakens. We loved him on Lost and can’t wait to meet him.
  • Katy Kartwheel: Ms. Kartwheel did the body performance for Rio Durant in Solo: A Star Wars Story. Of course, I got attached to that character to easy.
