Superb news as a staple of Star Wars Celebration is set to return to hosting duties. Warwick Davis will once again host the main Celebration Stage.

Davis, a Star Wars and Celebration icon, will make his triumphant return to the main Celebration Stage in Chicago, where he will welcome some of the biggest stars of the show for intimate conversations, thrilling announcements, and other revelations. Warwick previously hosted the Celebration Stage in Orlando in 2017, and has been a staple at Star Wars Celebration since its inception in 1999.

Known to many Star Wars fans as Wicket, the tiny Ewok who became one of the saga’s lead creature characters, Warwick’s acting career came about purely by chance when his grandmother heard a radio announcement casting call for Return of the Jedi. He’s returned to the galaxy far, far away several times, with appearances in various roles in Rogue One: A Star Wars StoryStar Wars: The Last Jedi, and Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Warwick will be joining David Collins on the Digital Stage (aka the Galaxy Stage), Amy Ratcliffe on the Behind-the-Scenes Stage, myself on the Podcast Stage and Gus Lopez once again heading up the Collecting Track.

Awesome news, Star Wars Celebration Chicago will take place 11th-15th April at McCormick Place. Visit StarWarsCelebration.com for tickets and further info.
