Star Wars authors including Aaron Allston, Christie Golden, Troy Denning, Jason Fry, Daniel Wallace, Ryder Windham, Helen Keier, and Tom Angleberger will be appearing at the show, and you can get all the details about where and when right here.
Celebration V Fashion Shows
It’s time to experience the stylish side of the galaxy far, far away with the first ever Celebration Fashion Show! Hosted by Ashley Eckstein, voice of Ahsoka Tano from The Clone Wars, fans will have a chance to check out the latest and greatest fashions from Lucasfilm’s leading licensees. Models will strut their stuff on the convention floor in a Kids show at 1 PM and an Adult show at 4 PM both Friday and Saturday. Don’t miss the fun — you may even see a surprise guest model or two!
