Fan Expo Vancouver is coming back, and the first of its celebrity guest lineup has been announced — and Star Wars superfans won't be disappointed.

Alan Tudyk, known for his sci-fi roles in Resident Alien, Firefly, and as K-2SO in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, will be in town for the legendary fandom weekend this winter. Tudyk will be appearing at the event on Saturday and Sunday, so if you're a fan make sure to get tickets for those days!

The weekend-long event will be running from February 21 - 23, 2025 and will have all the cosplay, comics, anime, gaming, and celebs people have come to expect. The 2025 schedule isn't announced just yet, but you can expect celebrity Q&As, photo ops, cosplay events, and workshops throughout the weekend.

There's also loads of shopping to be done with collectibles, merch and comics on the retail floor of the event.

You can already get tickets online, which are on sale with advance pricing until February 6, 2025. Single-day tickets start at $35 with the advance pricing.

Typically you can see a good amount of celebrity faces at Vancouver's Fan Expo, so you can stay tuned for celebrity guest updates on the Fan Expo Vancouver website.
