Star Wars-ing: Star Wars Celebration News

Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017 is less than 90 days away. Four-day passes have already sold out.  You can still purchase single day tickets here.

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.  You can see some of her Star Wars writings here.

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.

Star Wars Celebration Cosplay Contest is taking applications now.

When we know more news about Star Wars Celebration, we will post it here!
