Billy Dee Williams has pulled out of Saskatchewan Entertainment Expo on 15th and 16th September, which could be seen as further confirmation that – due to a film schedule conflict – he will soon be shooting his scenes for Episode IX at Pinewood.

We’ve got some sad news for you all today. Due to a film schedule conflict, Billy Dee Williams will not be able to appear at Sask Expo this year. He sends his regrets, and hopes to make it up to his Saskatchewan fans in 2019.

We’re sorry you can’t make it Billy, but we understand that these things can happen. We hope to see you next year!

Attendees of the show will still have their fill of Star Wars guests as John Ratzenberger – Major Derlin from The Empire Strikes Back – will be at the show.
