The People Behind the Legends
This year’s lineup is packed with talent—actors, creators, and voices who’ve poured their souls into Star Wars. They’re not just names on a poster; they’re people with stories to share, and they’re coming to meet you.
Prequel Icons Who Shaped Our Childhoods
Hayden Christensen: He’s the man who gave us Anakin Skywalker’s heartbreak and redemption. After returning to the role in Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka, Hayden’s ready to reflect on his journey—from the prequel days to now—and what it’s like stepping back into those iconic robes.
Daniel Logan: As young Boba Fett in Attack of the Clones, Daniel grew up with us. He’s excited to talk about his adventures as the galaxy’s coolest bounty hunter, from live-action to voicing Boba in The Clone Wars.
Ahmed Best: You know him as Jar Jar Binks, but Ahmed’s story goes deeper. He’s bringing his passion for Jedi Knight Kelleran Beq (from The Mandalorian and Jedi Temple Challenge) to Japan, sharing how it feels to return to Star Wars in such a powerful way.
The Disney+ Stars We’ve Grown to Love
Rosario Dawson: She brought Ahsoka Tano to life in a way that made our hearts skip a beat. Rosario’s ready to dive into her experience on Ahsoka and hint at what’s next for this fierce warrior.
Diego Luna: As Cassian Andor, Diego’s shown us the grit and hope of a rebel. He’ll open up about going from Rogue One to Andor, and why this story hits so close to home for him.
Temuera Morrison: From Jango Fett to Boba Fett, Temuera’s the heartbeat of the clones. He’s eager to chat about his wild ride through the galaxy, especially his time leading The Book of Boba Fett.
Voices That Echo in Our Memories
Ashley Eckstein: The original Ahsoka Tano from The Clone Wars and beyond, Ashley’s voice is pure nostalgia. She’s thrilled to reconnect with fans and talk about what Ahsoka means to her.
Vanessa Marshall: As Hera Syndulla in Rebels, Vanessa gave us a rebel captain we’d follow anywhere. She’s looking forward to sharing how she brought Hera’s strength and warmth to life.
The Creative Minds Who Dream Big
Doug Chiang: Lucasfilm’s design genius, Doug’s the guy who sketches the worlds we lose ourselves in. He’ll show off his art and talk about the joy of building Star Wars from the ground up.
John Knoll: The visual effects wizard behind Rogue One, John’s a storyteller with a tech twist. He’s excited to pull back the curtain on the magic that makes Star Wars feel real.
