The actors behind Captain Phasma, Chewbacca, and Fennec Shand are coming to London to join an impressive guest list of Star Wars stars.

Report to Captain Phasma’s division at once.

Gwendoline Christie, Joonas Suotamo, and Ming-Na Wen

StarWars.com is thrilled to announce that Gwendoline Christie has joined the guest list for Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023 in London this April. The actor first played Captain Phasma, the chrome-armored commander of the First Order in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and returned for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

She’s not the only sequel trilogy celebrity headed to the show floor. Joonas Suotamo has been confirmed to attend. The actor played the role of Chewbacca in the most recent Skywalker saga films and Solo: A Star Wars Story, after learning at the knee of the master, the late performer Peter Mayhew. Suotamo most recently reunited with Solo writer Jon Kasdan to play The Scourge in the Willow series on Disney+.

And Ming-Na Wen, the actor who brought elite assassin Fennec Shand to life on The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Star Wars: The Bad Batch, is also slated to appear.

Aidan Cook, Silas Carson, and Matthew Wood

Aidan Cook, the talented performer behind Doctor Quadpaw in Andor, Two Tubes in Andor and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Bobbajo in The Force Awakens, and Boolio in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, will attend.

Finally, representing the Star Wars prequels, will be Silas Carson, the actor who played Jedi Ki-Adi-Mundi and Viceroy Nute Gunray, and Skywalker Sound’s Matthew Wood, a Celebration veteran and the voice of General Grievous and his legion of battle droids.

Check out StarWarsCelebration.com for more information.

Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023 will be held April 7-10, 2023, at ExCeL London in England.

Official Pix is once again proud to be producing the autograph hall at Celebration. Attending fans can now purchase their autograph and photo op tickets for all announced guests.

For fans unable to attend Celebration, Official Pix will be offering a "send in service" to have fans' collectibles and event photos signed by attending autograph guests.

This is where the fun begins.

Hayden Christensen and Katee Sackoff


StarWars.com is excited to announce that Hayden Christensen will attend Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023 in London this April. The actor played the pivotal role of Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (2002) and Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (2005), as the noble Jedi Knight turned to the dark side and became Darth Vader. In 2022, Christensen made a long-awaited return to the role in Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+, starring opposite Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi. Christensen's Celebration appearance in 2022, his first in many years, received a thunderous welcome.

For fans of Mandalorians, there’s even more reason to be excited, however.

Katee Sackhoff, the actor behind Mandalorian warrior Bo-Katan Kryze, will make her second Celebration appearance in London. Sackhoff portrayed Bo-Katan in the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, before bringing the character to life in live-action in The Mandalorian. And joining Sackhoff at Celebration will be another veteran of Star Wars animation.

James Arnold Taylor, Mads Mikkelsen, and Denis Lawson


James Arnold Taylor, voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, is also heading to London. Taylor has long been an integral part of the saga, giving voice to stormtroopers, aliens, Imperials, and more in films including Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

In addition, Mads Mikkelsen, who played scientist Galen Erso in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, is set to attend.

Finally, Denis Lawson will also land at Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023. Lawson portrayed the fan-favorite rebel pilot Wedge Antilles in the original Star Wars trilogy, making a welcome return to the role in 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

To paraphrase Ahsoka Tano, we like firsts.

With less than three months left before Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023 this April, StarWars.com is thrilled to announce the first of many talented celebrity guests who will appear at the convention.

Star Wars icon Anthony Daniels, the only actor to work on all 11 Star Wars feature films will make an appearance. Daniels notably portrayed C-3PO in all three Skywalker saga trilogies.

Anthony Daniels, Ashley Eckstein, Matt Lanter, and Dee Bradley Baker


Ashley Eckstein, the voice of Ahsoka in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, and Tales of the Jedi, will reunite with fellow Clone Wars alum and Sky Guy Matt Lanter, the voice of Anakin Skywalker, as well as Dee Bradley Baker, the longtime voice of clone troopers in Star Wars animation and most recently the majority of Clone Force 99 in Star Wars: The Bad Batch, performing as Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, Echo, and Crosshair.

Giancarlo Esposito, Vivien Lyra Blair, and Indira Varma


And from live action, they’ll be joined by Giancarlo Esposito, whose nefarious Moff Gideon challenged Din Djarin and hunted Grogu in The Mandalorian, and newcomers from the Obi-Wan Kenobi limited series Vivien Lyra Blair, who brought the spark of rebellion to young Leia Organa, and Indira Varma, who played double-agent Tala Durith. Official Pix will once again manage all autograph guests at the show. Stay tuned for mail-in and reservation details as well as more exciting announcements about other celebrity guests slated to appear.

And mark your calendars because additional single-day tickets will be available starting this Friday, January 27, at 9 a.m. PST only on the official Star Wars Celebration website.
