In addition to shopping, an artist alley, cosplay, community booths, how-to panels, and workshops, there’ll be plenty of celebrities and artists that you can meet from February 21 to 23.

Star Wars legend Haden Christensen is coming to the expo as part of a roster of pop culture stars from Resident Alien, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Supernatural, Lord of the Rings, and more.
One of the most notable roles that gave the Vancouver-born star international recognition was as Anakin Skywalker, aka Darth Vader, in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. He has also starred in movies like Awake alongside Jessica Alba, Life As a House, and Jumper.

You can also meet sci-fi superstar Alan Tudyk, beloved for many iconic roles throughout his career, including as Wash in Firefly and Serenity, K-2SO in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Andor, and Heihei in Moana.
The Primetime Emmy-nominated actor is also very familiar with Vancouver and BC thanks to his starring role as Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle in Resident Alien. The USA Network series is based on a popular comic book series of the same name.
