On Friday, July 13th at 7:30 am, Star Wars Action News will be hosting the 2nd Annual Star Wars Fan Breakfast!
When Lucasfilm ended the Star Wars Fan Club, the long tradition of starting “Star Wars Day” at San Diego Comic Con with the Star Wars Fan Club breakfast went with it. But last year Marjorie and Arnie of Star Wars Action News started a new tradition, the Star Wars Fan Breakfast, and details were just announced for this year’s event! There is no cost to go, just pay for what you order, and there will be prizes donated by Star Wars Action News, Sideshow Collectibles, and others!

The Star Wars Diorama Workshop, a fixture at Star Wars Celebration events since 2002, is celebrating its tenth anniversary by producing the largest ever diorama display featuring a Return to Tatooine.

Adding to the already impressive guest list, StarWarsCelebration.com announces that 6 more signers have committed to the event. They are: Amy Allen (Aayla Secura), Kenny Baker (R2-D2), Garrick Hagon (Biggs Darklighter), Christopher Malcolm (Zev Senesca), Jake Lloyd (Anakin Skywalker) and Bonnie Piesse (Beru Whitesun/Lars)

]Before Episode IV: A New Hope, before CGI and the “Special Editions” and before the prequels, there was simply Star Wars – a film that shaped a generation and from that point on, movies (and toys) have and would never be the same.
All of us here at Yakface wish a Happy 35th Anniversary to George Lucas, Lucasfilm Ltd. and all that is Star Wars.
The Official Site for Celebration VI has opened their virtual store and is now taking pre-orders for an exclusive CVI T-Shirt that will only be available for a limited time online and WILL NOT be sold at Celebration VI. Pre-order yours today.
