A high-calibre, influential Event committee has been put together to support the event from the world of film, the City and the dedicated supporters of the MediCinema charity. Ewan McGregor who starred as the young Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequel trilogy between 1999 and 2005 is a patron of the MediCinema charity as well as one of the Event’s Honorary Patrons along with Nick Frost and Simon Pegg who are both long standing, avid Star Wars fans. Star Wars fan clubs and dedicated publications have been engaged to promote the event to try and make it as successful and prestigious as possible.
‘We are enormously excited about the potential of this event being a great platform for the MediCinema charity and want to grow this into a signature, annual event. We hope to raise significant funds for the charity in 2012 and our aim is to build four new facilities during the year including Guy’s Hospital, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and Headley Court. The cult and history of Star Wars and its community provide a real opportunity for the world of film to have a positive, significant impact in the world of charity.’ Stephen Moore, Chief Executive, MediCinema.
