It appeared as if MegaCon would have zero Star Wars guests at this year's show in Orlando, FL. Thanks to the Doctor Who fan group Hurricane Who, that is not the case! Read their official announcement below:


We are pleased to announce our Launch Party for this year’s MegaCon Convention. Taking place at Cricketers Arms Pub on Thursday, March 24th, we kick off Orlando’s Spring Convention Event in style.

Joining us on that evening is a man who is no stranger to Sci-Fi, even if you don’t recognize his face. From Doctor Who to Hex, Star Wars to The Fifth Element… our Guest has seen it all… Alan Ruscoe.

Alan has been one of the Men Behind The Masks for Years in the Doctor Who Universe and Beyond. Ruscoe appeared as an Auton in the Doctor Who episode ‘Rose’ in 2005 alongside Christopeher Eccleston and Billie Piper. Ever Since then he appeared in numerous episodes of the Series, including his role in ‘The Waters of Mars’.

In 1999, Ruscoe appeared in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace in three separate roles, including Bib Fortuna. Alan returned in 2002 for Attack of the Clones, in which he played Lott Dod.

Alan will be on hand at the Hurricane Who: MegaCon Launch Party, as well as appearing in the Star Signing area at MegaCon all three days.

We look forward to hearing all of the insight that Alan brings from his very unique place in the Universe of Science Fiction.
