Eight New Celebrities Announced For Star Wars Celebration Chicago

Here's the latest list of celebrities confirmed for Star Wars Celebration Chicago from StarWars.com.

BILLY DEE WILLIAMS, ALAN TUDYK ANNOUNCED FOR CELEBRATION CHICAGO

HELLO, WHAT HAVE WE HERE? THE ACTORS WHO PLAYED LANDO CALRISSIAN AND K-2SO ARE HEADED TO THE WINDY CITY.

Before he reprises the role of Lando Calrissian in Star Wars: Episode IX later this year, you’ll have the chance to see actor Billy Dee Williams at Star Wars Celebration Chicago.

The original cape-wearing, smooth-talking, business man from the city in the clouds will join fans alongside Alan Tudyk, who played the wise-cracking K-2SO, the Imperial droid-turned-rebel hero in Rogue One.

During the event, you’ll also have the chance to see Kanan and Ezra reunite at a Celebration for the first time since we said goodbye to Star Wars Rebels, when Freddie Prinze Jr. and Taylor Gray make an appearance.

Other newly-announced stars include: Anthony Forrest, who donned a stormtrooper bucket on Tatooine and was “Jedi mind tricked” by Obi-Wan Kenobi; John Morton, best known as Dak, the other half of Luke Skywalker’s snowspeeder team in the Battle of Hoth; and two of the Empire’s finest officers, Julian Glover, who played General Veers, and Michael Culver, who was the ill-fated Captain Needa.

These are just the latest in a long line of most impressive Star Wars talent slated for the Topps autograph area, including Star Wars legend Peter Mayhew, and many more.
