From almost 40 year old Return of the Jedi come Femi Taylor, Tina Simmons and John Simpkin, from The Last Jedi Jimmy Vee, A New Hope‘s Angus MacInnes and Nick Joseph will be therem, as will The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and Solo actor Clem So.

The popular annual event, which has raised an incredible £335,000 since 2016, will take place on February 11 and 12, bringing together figures and fans from the world of film and television, comic book writers and artists, traders and the best movie set props.

All profits from the convention go directly to CHAS, Scotland’s national children’s hospice service which cares for babies, children and young people with life-shortening conditions.

Organised by the charity in partnership with a committee of dedicated Sci-Fi Con volunteers, the popular event hopes to attract thousands of visitors from all over Scotland and beyond and build on its previous fundraising success.

Confirmed special guests who will grace the capital’s O2 Academy (formerly the Corn Exchange) throughout the weekend include Tina Simmons, Nick Joseph, Marc Silk, Clem So, Femi Taylor, Brian Wheeler and John Simpkin.

These guests cover every fandom from Star Wars to Harry Potter to DC to Marvel and so much more.

Stay tuned for more news from the event here on Fantha Tracks.
