Ian McDiarmid & More Announced For STAR WARS Celebration VI

Star Wars Fans REJOICE! We have three big things to tell you about Star Wars celebration VI! The first being, Ian McDiarmid. This is the first ever signing he has done in the US. He doesn't normally do conventions, but of course, Star Wars Celebration is when the stars shine. 

However, given his track record, its highly unlikely he will be doing any other conventions in the US, making this a once in a lifetime chance. So, any fan headed out there to Star Wars Celebration this year, should definitely rank visiting him on their top 5 things to do.

No stranger to Star Wars Celebration is Seth Green, he is returning this year with Robot Chicken partner Matthew Senreich. Their show Robot Chicken which airs on Cartoon Network's, Adult Swim, has had three entire specials devoted to the Star Wars Saga.  Seth Green is in many ways a highlight unto himself during Star Wars Celebration. He likes to pop up everywhere.

Of course this is just the tip of the iceberg, there are tons of celebrities coming to Star Wars Celebration. Including Princess Leia herself, Carrie Fisher. For a full list go to: www.starwarscelebration.com

And did we mention the toys? Okay, well in this case, its just one specific toy. It is THE toy for Star Wars Celebration, and were kinda geeking out because it is an exclusive from Side Show Collectables, and, it is a figure based on a character created by one of our favorite artist's, Tom Hodges. Commander Ganch was a character in the online web comics Star Wars: The Clone Wars.  

The Star Wars Celebration Store will premiere Sideshow's 12" figure of Clone Commander Ganch, available in very limited numbers starting the first day of the show. 


The exciting one-sixth scale figure boasts a number of exclusive features, including:
  • Phase I and II helmets
  • Detailed fabric body suit and collar
  • Highly detailed full-body armor set
  • A variety of interchangeable hands and boots
  • BlasTech DC-15A long range blaster rifle
  • BlasTech DC-15S blaster carbine
  • Two (2) BlasTech DC-17 blaster pistols and holsters
  • Armored body with more than thirty points of articulation
  • Base with Ganch armor symbol and lower support stand
The commanding officer of the 612th Attack Battalion, Clone Commander Ganch is a no-nonsense, by-the-manual soldier who devotes all his energies to following orders to the letter. His hardened attitude comes from witnessing what can go wrong when troops lack discipline. Ganch first appeared in a series of Star Wars: The Clone Wars web comics illustrated by Tom Hodges.
