Last weekend saw Fantha Tracks join a number of sites, podcasts, costuming groups and more at London Film and Comic Con at Olympia, and over the course of three days the groups within the Star Wars Zone raised an amazing £988.08 for Angelman, the chosen charity of Fantha Tracks which was adopted by the entire zone for the weekend. Meanwhile, our friend Jez Allinson – aka the Running Stormtrooper – sold his remaining running medals and raised an awesome £721.50 for Make-A-Wish UK and Spread a Smile
Star Wars Zone organiser Dave Tree posted to Facebook about the Zone and what we all achieved, along with a selection of images from Olympia.
The Star Wars Zone, brought to you by All The Cool Stuff at London Film & Comic Con 2022, played host to a number of activities and features not found anywhere else within the show.
Allowing fans to interact with some of the leading Star Wars costuming groups, their prop backdrops, play the world-famous Mon-Cal Carnival games, The Prototype Archives “The Missing Saga Collection” toy exhibition and the chance to meet the people behind some the UK’s best loved Star Wars social media channels.

Over the duration of London Film & ComicCon, The Star Wars Zone was raising funds for Angelman UK, managing a total of £998.08 over the three days. In addition Jez, The Running Stormtrooper, raised a phenomenal £721.50 for Make-A-Wish UK and Spread a Smile.
As Dave says, thanks to all involved for a superb weekend, and to Showmasters for giving the Star Wars Zone the room to shine at a very busy event.
