Star Wars Celebration Los Angeles 2027 is shaping up to be one of the most memorable gatherings in the history of the franchise, with a major lineup of actors, voice performers, filmmakers, and fan favorites now confirmed to attend.
The latest guest announcement brings together stars from the Skywalker Saga, The Mandalorian, Star Wars animation, and several other beloved corners of the galaxy. Among the confirmed guests are Hayden Christensen, Ian McDiarmid, Anthony Daniels, Giancarlo Esposito, Katee Sackhoff, Ahmed Best, Ashley Eckstein, Matt Lanter, James Arnold Taylor, Dee Bradley Baker, and many more.
The event will take place from April 1 through April 4, 2027, at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The four day gathering will also coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of Star Wars: A New Hope, giving fans another reason to expect a historic celebration.
For generations of Star Wars viewers, Celebration has become much more than a traditional fan convention. It is a place where actors reunite, new projects are announced, memories are shared, and fans from around the world come together through their love of the franchise.
The 2027 event will continue that tradition with a guest list representing nearly every era of Star Wars storytelling.
The Mandalorian Stars Head to Los Angeles
Several performers connected to The Mandalorian will appear at the event, including Brendan Wayne and Lateef Crowder.
Wayne and Crowder have worked alongside Pedro Pascal to bring Din Djarin to life since the first season of the Disney Plus series. While Pascal provides the voice and performs many of the character’s dramatic scenes, Wayne helped establish the Mandalorian’s controlled gunslinger movements, while Crowder handled many of the demanding combat sequences.
Their physical performances have played an important role in defining Din Djarin as one of the most recognizable characters from the modern Star Wars era.
Both performers were also involved in Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, the theatrical film that expanded the story of Din Djarin and his young companion beyond the television series.
Fans will also have the opportunity to meet Giancarlo Esposito, who portrayed the calculating Imperial leader Moff Gideon.
Esposito brought a quiet intensity to the role, creating a villain who relied as much on intelligence and psychological pressure as military force. Moff Gideon became one of the central threats in The Mandalorian as he pursued Grogu and attempted to use the child’s abilities for a secret Imperial project.
Katee Sackhoff will also attend the event. Sackhoff first voiced Bo Katan Kryze in Star Wars: The Clone Wars before returning to the character in Star Wars Rebels. She later became one of the few performers to portray the same Star Wars character in both animation and live action when she appeared as Bo Katan in The Mandalorian.
Her character’s complicated relationship with Mandalore, its people, and the Darksaber has made her a major figure in the continuing story of the Mandalorian culture.
Emily Swallow, who plays the mysterious Armorer, has also been confirmed. The Armorer has remained one of the most respected and enigmatic members of Din Djarin’s covert, guiding him through questions of faith, identity, loyalty, and tradition.
Swallow has appeared as the character in both The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett.
Hayden Christensen Returns to Celebration
One of the biggest names confirmed for Star Wars Celebration Los Angeles is Hayden Christensen.
Christensen made his Star Wars debut as Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones and returned for Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. His portrayal showed Anakin’s transformation from a gifted but troubled Jedi Knight into Darth Vader.
Although the prequel films received divided reactions when they were first released, they have gained a passionate new generation of fans. Christensen’s performance has become especially meaningful to audiences who grew up with the prequel trilogy.
His return to the role in Obi Wan Kenobi was one of the most anticipated moments in recent Star Wars history. He later appeared as Anakin Skywalker in the first season of Ahsoka, reuniting the character with his former apprentice in a series of emotional scenes.
Christensen’s appearances at Star Wars events have often been met with enthusiastic responses from fans. His presence in Los Angeles is expected to be one of the major attractions of the 2027 gathering.
Ian McDiarmid will join him, bringing the presence of Emperor Palpatine to the convention.
McDiarmid has portrayed Palpatine across multiple generations of Star Wars films. He appeared as the Emperor in the original trilogy, played the character’s political rise in the prequel trilogy, and returned once again in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Few actors have remained connected to a single film character for such a long period. McDiarmid’s performance helped turn Palpatine into one of cinema’s most famous villains, a figure whose influence can be felt throughout the entire Skywalker Saga.
Anthony Daniels Celebrates Fifty Years of Star Wars
Anthony Daniels will appear at Star Wars Celebration Los Angeles during the fiftieth anniversary year of A New Hope.
Daniels made his first appearance as C 3PO in the original 1977 film and has remained one of the franchise’s most enduring performers. He has played the protocol droid in ten Star Wars films, along with numerous television productions, animated projects, video games, specials, and public appearances.
His performance combines formal language, nervous humor, loyalty, and constant concern, making C 3PO one of the most distinctive personalities in the Star Wars universe.
Daniels has been part of the franchise from its earliest days and remains closely connected to its fans. His attendance will give visitors an opportunity to celebrate not only the anniversary of the original film, but also the extraordinary career of an actor who helped shape the identity of Star Wars.
Ahmed Best and Matthew Wood Join the Guest List
Ahmed Best will also attend the 2027 event.
Best originally brought Jar Jar Binks to life in the prequel trilogy, beginning with Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. The character became one of the most discussed figures in the history of the franchise, and Best has spoken openly about the personal challenges he faced following the intense criticism directed at the role.
In more recent years, fans have celebrated Best’s contribution to Star Wars and welcomed his return as Jedi Master Kelleran Beq.
Kelleran Beq appeared in The Mandalorian as the Jedi who saved Grogu during the destruction of the Jedi Temple. The moment gave Best a heroic return to the franchise and quickly became one of the most celebrated scenes of the season.
Best also recently worked on the Star Wars: Jar Jar comic, which explored what happened to Jar Jar Binks after his decision to support emergency powers for Chancellor Palpatine.
Matthew Wood has also been confirmed.
Wood is known to audiences as the voice of General Grievous in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Beyond his acting work, he has played a major creative role behind the scenes as a sound editor and sound designer at Skywalker Sound.
His career reflects the many different skills required to create the Star Wars universe, from memorable character performances to the sounds that give the galaxy its atmosphere and energy.
The Clone Wars Cast Reunites
Star Wars Celebration Los Angeles will feature a reunion of three of the most important voices from Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Ashley Eckstein, James Arnold Taylor, and Matt Lanter will all attend the event.
Eckstein has voiced Ahsoka Tano since the character first appeared in the 2008 animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Over nearly two decades, she has helped guide Ahsoka from a young and inexperienced Jedi learner into one of the most respected characters in the franchise.
Ahsoka’s journey continued through The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi, and other animated projects. The character later moved into live action, but Eckstein’s voice performance remains central to Ahsoka’s identity and emotional development.
James Arnold Taylor will represent Obi Wan Kenobi from the animated era.
Taylor voiced Obi Wan throughout The Clone Wars and has also appeared in Star Wars games and Lego productions. His performance captured the Jedi Master’s humor, calmness, intelligence, and growing concern about Anakin Skywalker’s future.
Matt Lanter will complete the trio.
Lanter voiced Anakin Skywalker in The Clone Wars, giving audiences a deeper look at Anakin’s years as a Jedi Knight and military leader. The animated series allowed the character to experience friendships, victories, failures, and moral conflicts that added further weight to his eventual fall.
Lanter has also voiced Anakin in video games, animated shorts, and Star Wars specials. He even made a live action appearance as a New Republic officer in The Mandalorian.
The reunion of Eckstein, Taylor, and Lanter is likely to be a highlight for fans who consider The Clone Wars one of the most important Star Wars stories ever produced.
The Bad Batch Will Be Represented
Dee Bradley Baker and Michelle Ang are also heading to Los Angeles.
Baker has voiced an extraordinary number of Star Wars characters, including the clone troopers in The Clone Wars and the members of Clone Force 99 in Star Wars: The Bad Batch.
Although the clones share the same genetic origin, Baker gives each of them a distinct personality, rhythm, and emotional identity. His performances have helped characters such as Rex, Hunter, Wrecker, Crosshair, Tech, and Echo feel like unique individuals rather than variations of the same voice.
Michelle Ang voiced Omega, the young clone who became part of the Bad Batch family.
Omega’s journey from a protected child on Kamino to a courageous and capable member of Clone Force 99 became the emotional center of the animated series. Her relationship with Hunter and the rest of the squad gave the show much of its heart.
With Baker and Ang attending, fans of The Bad Batch will have an opportunity to celebrate the full Clone Force 99 story.
A Celebration of Every Generation
The confirmed guest list demonstrates how broad the Star Wars universe has become.
Original trilogy performers will appear alongside actors from the prequel era, voice artists from animation, and stars from modern streaming productions. Fans who discovered Star Wars in 1977 will share the convention floor with viewers who first entered the galaxy through The Clone Wars, The Mandalorian, or The Bad Batch.
That connection between generations has always been one of the greatest strengths of Star Wars Celebration.
The event gives longtime fans a chance to honor the people who created their favorite childhood memories. It also gives younger audiences an opportunity to meet the performers behind characters they have recently discovered.
More guests and announcements are expected before the convention begins. Star Wars Celebration traditionally features major panels, exclusive footage, merchandise, costumes, exhibitions, and surprises connected to future Lucasfilm projects.
With the fiftieth anniversary of A New Hope serving as the backdrop, the Los Angeles event carries special significance.
The 2027 convention will not simply look back at the history of Star Wars. It will celebrate the continuing growth of a fictional universe that has remained part of global culture for half a century.
From Hayden Christensen and Ian McDiarmid to Ashley Eckstein, Giancarlo Esposito, Anthony Daniels, and the stars of Lucasfilm Animation, the announced lineup already promises an unforgettable experience.
When the doors open at the Los Angeles Convention Center on April 1, 2027, fans from around the world will once again gather to celebrate the stories, characters, and performers that made a galaxy far, far away feel like home.
