The first of four Star Wars weekends will include guest stars Anthony Daniels who played C-3PO in the Star Wars films and Dave Filoni, the supervising director of the animated television series, The Clone Wars. Daniels also returns the following weekend, May 27-29, along with Bruce Spence (Tion Medon) and Dee Bradley Baker (Captain Rex of “Clone Wars”).

On June 3-5 Star Wars aficionados can greet guests Ray Park (Darth Maul), Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett) and Matt Lanter (Anakin from “Clone Wars”). And the final weekend, June 10-12, offers Park with Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) and Tom Kane (Yoda from “Clone Wars”).
