The Convention Fans Blog

Star Wars Celebration V, the official Star Wars convention scheduled for this weekend in Orlando, has a slew of Star Wars authors and some illustrators attending. A lot of the attention has been focused on the celebrities from the movies that will be attending (kinda hard to ignore the fact that Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and George Lucas will be there I know). However, fans of the vast body of Star Wars literary work also have a lot to look forward to at Star Wars Celebration V.

Below is a list of the various author and illustrator signings that will be taking place over the course of this four-day con, along with time and

location information. Can’t make it to one of the signings? Don’t worry. Many of them are repeated throughout the weekend!
