Hello All!

Mark Hamill Is Coming to Star Wars Celebration 2017

Brian Gallagher | 1 day ago

Mark Hamill is officially coming to Star Wars Celebration Orlando. And he's
going to have a little more to say than he did in Star Wars: The Force
Awakens. The legendary actor, known as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars
saga, the Joker in Batman: The Animated Series and the Arkham video game
series, host of Mark Hamill's Pop Culture Quest, and much more, is set to
return for his sixth Star Wars Celebration. Hamill, a Star Wars icon, has
become a Celebration favorite for his insightful, heartfelt, and very funny
talks.

StarWars.com announced today that at Celebration Orlando, he will be
present for all four days of the show, signing autographs and part of some
very special programming. On Friday, April 14, fans can attend "Mark
Hamill's Tribute to Carrie Fisher," in which the actor remembers the
talent, humor, and legacy of his friend and co-star. Sunday, April 16, will
see Hamill take the stage solo (no pun intended) for the appropriately
titled "Hamill Himself," featuring an hour of anecdotes and
audience Q&A.

In the past, Hamill has discussed everything from making the Star Wars
films to how he gave his complete collection of vintage Star Wars toys to
his kids, allowing them to open every single item. He'll also throw in the
occasional Beatles reference. Who knows what he'll discuss this time? The
Jedi returns this April. Don't miss it. Star Wars Celebration Orlando will
take place April 13-16 at the Orange County Convention Center. Visit
StarWarsCelebration.com for tickets and more info! If that news wasn't
exciting enough, Electronic Arts also announced today that fans will get
the first look at Star Wars Battlefront II at Star Wars Celebration.

Commence primary ignition, the first trailer for Star Wars Battlefront II
is imminent. On April 15 at 2:30PM ET/11:30AM PT at Star Wars Celebration,
Electronic Arts will be presenting during the "The Galaxywide Premiere
of Star Wars Battlefront II" panel. Not able to attend in person?
You'll still be able to watch online through the Star Wars Celebration live
stream. Join the award-winning developers from DICE, Criterion and Motive
as they offer a glimpse at the game and debut the first trailer.

This year's Star Wars Celebration will also be celebrating A New Hope's
40th Anniversary, with a panel on Thursday, April 13, hosted by Warwick
Davis and featuring LucasFilm president Kathleen Kennedy and a number of
"surprise guests," one of which may very well be Mark Hamill. It
is also believed that this Thursday panel will reveal the first ever
trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, although that still hasn't been
officially confirmed by LucasFilm as of yet. It has been confirmed, though,
that Star Wars Celebration will not happen in 2018, but it will return in
2019, just in time for Star Wars: Episode IX.
