Look back 20 years with never-before-seen footage and insight into Star Wars Reunions, a convention that brought Jeremy Bulloch, Peter Mayhew, Steve Sansweet and more to the Grand Rex movie theater in Paris. Here’s how TheForce.net revealed the news twenty years ago.
On May 13, 14 & 15 the Official French Star Wars Fan Club will hold its first ever Official French Convention: Star Wars Reunion, at the Grand Rex movie theater in Paris. This event, eagerly awaited by French fans, will celebrate the release of the last chapter of the Star Wars saga, Revenge of the Sith.
The convention starts Friday evening, March 13th, with a concert of Star Wars music performed by a 60-piece orchestra. Confirmed to be in attendance over the weekend are two actors who appear in both the original trilogy and Episode III. Peter Mayhew — who plays Chewbacca — will be there, as will Jeremy Bulloch, who played the original Boba Fett and returns to Star Wars as Captain Colton, pilot of the Alderaanian starship in Revenge of the Sith.
Also coming to the Star Wars Reunion is Steve Sansweet, Head of Fan Relations for Lucasfilm, who will be bringing some surprises direct from Skywalker Ranch.
