This June, fans not only get a rare chance to meet an impressive lineup of special guests attending four weekends of
Star Wars fun at the Disney-MGM Studios in Florida, but they'll also be entertained by celebrity host --
Star Wars actor
Jay Laga'aia.
Fans know Laga'aia as Captain Typho, Padmé Amidala's head of security in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. Laga'aia's long television career spans show host duties to leading roles. Prominent characters are Tommy in the series "Water Rats" (1995 -- 1999), and the leading part of David Silesi in Screenworks Ltd. "Street Legal" (1998 -2003).
