Hello All!   
      
   Mark Hamill Is Coming to Star Wars Celebration 2017

   Mark Hamill is officially coming to Star Wars Celebration Orlando. And he's   
   going to have a little more to say than he did in Star Wars: The Force   
   Awakens. The legendary actor, known as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars saga,   
   the Joker in Batman: The Animated Series and the Arkham video game series,   
   host of Mark Hamill's Pop Culture Quest, and much more, is set to return for   
   his sixth Star Wars Celebration. Hamill, a Star Wars icon, has become a   
   Celebration favorite for his insightful, heartfelt, and very funny talks.   
      
   StarWars.com announced today that at Celebration Orlando, he will be present   
   for all four days of the show, signing autographs and part of some very   
   special programming. On Friday, April 14, fans can attend "Mark Hamill's   
   Tribute to Carrie Fisher," in which the actor remembers the talent, humor, and   
   legacy of his friend and co-star. Sunday, April 16, will see Hamill take the   
   stage solo (no pun intended) for the appropriately titled "Hamill Himself,"   
   featuring an hour of anecdotes and audience Q&A.   
      
   In the past, Hamill has discussed everything from making the Star Wars films   
   to how he gave his complete collection of vintage Star Wars toys to his kids,   
   allowing them to open every single item. He'll also throw in the occasional   
   Beatles reference. Who knows what he'll discuss this time? The Jedi returns   
   this April. Don't miss it. Star Wars Celebration Orlando will take place April   
   13-16 at the Orange County Convention Center. Visit StarWarsCelebration.com   
   for tickets and more info! If that news wasn't exciting enough, Electronic   
   Arts also announced today that fans will get the first look at Star Wars   
   Battlefront II at Star Wars Celebration.   
      
   Commence primary ignition, the first trailer for Star Wars Battlefront II is   
   imminent. On April 15 at 2:30PM ET/11:30AM PT at Star Wars Celebration,   
   Electronic Arts will be presenting during the "The Galaxywide Premiere of Star   
   Wars Battlefront II" panel. Not able to attend in person? You'll still be able   
   to watch online through the Star Wars Celebration live stream. Join the   
   award-winning developers from DICE, Criterion and Motive as they offer a   
   glimpse at the game and debut the first trailer.   
      
   This year's Star Wars Celebration will also be celebrating A New Hope's 40th   
   Anniversary, with a panel on Thursday, April 13, hosted by Warwick Davis and   
   featuring LucasFilm president Kathleen Kennedy and a number of "surprise   
   guests," one of which may very well be Mark Hamill. It is also believed that   
   this Thursday panel will reveal the first ever trailer for Star Wars: The Last   
   Jedi, although that still hasn't been officially confirmed by LucasFilm as of   
   yet. It has been confirmed, though, that Star Wars Celebration will not happen   
   in 2018, but it will return in 2019, just in time for Star Wars: Episode IX.
