    I can definitely recommend it. I got his autograph when he was a our local comiccon, but I had him sign one of his Danish costume drama DVD:s instead, and I was next to him when the Swedish Garrison inducted him as an honorary 501st member, so I'm not spending any money on him this time.

    I'm a huge fan of Denis Lawson, but I have my photo with him in my x-wing costume already. I might bring my "Local Hero" - DVD and have hiim sign that one though. It will probably depend on time slots and if they are clashing with something else, it's not going to be a top priority for me.

    It's cool they got Hayden this time. I was really surprised when he didn't sign/do photo ops in Anaheim.

    I believe this is Gwendolyn Christie’s first Celebration as a signing guest. She was also in the recent Wednesday Addams series, and of course she was in Game of Thrones.

    She's also in The Sandman which is excellent. She's signed at other cons before, but this is her first time signing at Celebration.

    I updated the list, and I also see that they have added that Vivien Lyra Blair will be there all days.

    And Hayden Christensen's autos are sold out on Saturday, but they might add more later on.

    Rosario is of course the big name here, then it's a bunch of ROTJ actors. Many of them have been around on cons for some time, but unfortunately they are getting older so it might be time to get that autograph before they feel they are too old to continure.

    Caroline Blakiston could be fun for me, but just like with Denis Lawson it¨s not a priority for me.

    I think it's more than 3x when you consider the conversion rate.

    I hope he's in better shape than at the last London Cele. He was acting like he was either ill or on something in the talk my friend and I saw. We eventually walked out on it.

    That's just how he is. He's pretty low energy which goes against people's expectations.

    He was slurring words and was very hard to understand, hence our thinking he was incapacitated.

    that's the impression I've gotten from him from the start when I saw him in like 2010 or something. He also seemed to be totally interested in being there and meet the fans.

    We saw Billy Dee at another con once (I want to say 2017 or 2018) and he had his own panel host with him. It worked much better than some of his recent SWC panels, I think the guy with him knew him and did this type of thing regularly so he knew how to get the best responses out of him.

    Guys, have you ever tried to get an autograph from those guests who attended only on panels? For example Harrison Ford, George Lucas and John Williams in 2017 SWCO, Pascal and Hayden last year. Is there any backdoor or artist's entrance, where autograph hunters are waiting?
    I think this year Ford, Hamill and Pedro Pascal (maybe Williams) will appear only on stages, without any announcements before. And I really want to try to get an autograph from them.
    Do you have any recommendations?

    I believe a few VIPs in the very front row got lucky and got a quick signature off Pedro at the end of the Mando+ panel in Anaheim. Beyond that I'm afraid you're out of luck.
