Day 2
While I would have loved to have seen Matthew Modine (most recently Stranger Things) as I’m a HUGE fan of that show, I had family commitments that only allowed me to attend the final two panels of the day.
Anthony Daniels
Few know the inner workings of the Star Wars world like Anthony Daniels. The actor behind C-3PO has been in more Star Wars stories, across various media, than literally anyone else — and the only actor to take part in all episodic entries in the franchise.
His unique brand of Q&A that he basically turns into street theater.
I saw him do this twice before & it was one of the most enjoyable & unforgettable moments at any con I’ve ever covered. He forgoes a moderator or the normal (& often boorish) line of questionaires and just takes over & bounds about with an animation & agility of someone a third his age and he picks people to ask questions & the whole thing feels very improvised & special. This time around didn’t quite hit the mark the last time he was here & it was a bit too mean-spirited at times but unforgettable just the same.
The golden protocol droid will return for Rise of Skywalker closing out a run he started in the 1977 original. And it seems to already have many parallels to A New Hope.

Again attendance was low & not much else to do, so much so that we skipped Day 3 altogether but stay tuned as they’ll be back with a better & bigger show in the Spring.
