There will be an official Star Wars presence for the first time this year at MegaCon the popular Orlando, Florida fan event that attracts top comic and pop-culture guests, lots of exhibitors, and more than 30,000 attendees over three days. The show takes place March 12th to 14th at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando — not coincidentally the location of Star Wars Celebration V this coming August 12th to 15th.

Lucasfilm’s head of fan relations, Steve Sansweet will be available along with a representative of Reed Expo, Lucasfilm’s partner in Star Wars Celebration V, at the 501st Legion’s booth, #1130, during the course of the show. Feel free to tell us what you would like to see at Celebration V! Advance discount tickets for Celebration V will be available for sale at the booth.

In addition, Steve will be involved in three Star Wars panels:

Celebrating Star Wars: Join Steve Sansweet as he explores the past — the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back — the present — the exciting weekly animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars — and the not too distant future — including Star Wars Celebration V. Saturday, Room 222 A, 11:50 am – 12:40 pm

Everything Star Wars: Join Ray Park, Jeremy Bulloch, Maria de Aragon, Dave Barclay, and Peter Mayhew for a Q & A. Moderated by Steve Sansweet. Saturday, Room 222 A&B, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

The Wacky World of Star Wars Collecting: The author of 13 Star Wars books, Steve Sansweet has collected some amazing memorabilia over the years — and some truly bizarre items. Join him as he explores a little of both. Sunday, Room 222A, 1:10 pm – 2:00 pm
