Local hero Denis Lawson returns from a galaxy far, far away to support Scotland’s only not-for-profit Capital Sci-Fi Con on 17th & 18th February 2024. Capital Sci-Fi Con is made for fans, by fans and supports the charity Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS). Keep a look out on the Capital Sci-Fi Con Facebook page for further guest announcements as we move closer to the event.
Hello There Trivia: Rebel Fighter Pilot Wedge Antilles, call-sign ‘Red 2’ or ‘Red Leader’ to Star Wars Fans, Denis is the real world uncle of fellow Star Wars actor Ewan McGregor who plays fan favourite, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Denis’ other nephew, Ewan’s older brother, Colin McGregor, is also a fighter pilot, for the RAF, and flies under the call-sign ‘Obi-Two’ which is a riff on his brother’s Star Wars character Obi-Wan. It makes more sense when you know that ‘Wan’ is Scots slang for one.
Interestingly, you could almost say Ewan was born to play the Jedi Master, already having ‘Wan’ in his name.
