Cosplay Gallery and Celebrity Sightings (SWCA 2015)

If there’s one thing we can all agree on that makes any con going experience enjoyable, it’s the fans that come out and cosplay for everyone to see. I followed the important steps outlined to get pictures (when I could) and below is my gallery of cosplay seen and enjoyed at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2015, along with a few shots with celebrities (mostly) within the Star Wars realm.

I see what you did there…

The posture and hand gesture are spot on, too!

He was at the Untold Clone Wars panel, where he asked Dave Filoni, in character, if he was to return in Rebels. Dave played coy, of course

She was unaware of her connect to Evaan from the Princess Leia comics series, but many fans were giving her the heads up. Don’t you love it when a plan comes together?

He sacrificed his A New Hope Tarkin costume to rearrange the rank symbols on the vest Tarkin wore for his appearance in Star Wars Rebels

I met Sandy and Brennan in the Digital Stage Simulcast line waiting for the opening ceremonies. Truly awesome couple who shared some details about Peter Jackson’s WWII re-enactments and tank rides, some New Zealand politics, and their ability to travel through time due to the time zones. I ran into them a few more times the first day, but didn’t get a chance to see them again. Maybe another Celebration!

Here are a few other cosplay galleries:

Tosche Station has a nice roundup with shots of old Han and Leia, Ysanne Isard, and even a Rey costume.
Andi Gutierrez’s Social Scanner for the official site includes a Vine video of the awesome AT-AT cosplay I’m mad I didn’t see in person.
Yes, the Playboy Bunnies were at SWCA and The Mary Sue has the SFW photos (there’s an ad that might auto-play, fyi).
John Boyega and Daisy Ridley went incognito on the floor and yes, I scoured all my photos to see if I might have caught a glimpse of them, but alas, nothing.

On top of cosplay, a convention is a hot spot for random celebrity sightings and I had a few, including Amy Hennig (who we can all thank for the Uncharted series, among others, and is currently working on the Visceral Games Star Wars project, which I wrote about previously), Ashley Eckstein, and Joel Aron:

This was a big surprise and my biggest honor of all SWCA 2015! She didn’t reveal anything about the Visceral Games Star Wars project, but I did at least ask! Todd Stashwick took the photo, and even though I knew it was Todd, it didn’t hit me until I got back to the hotel. He’s helping her with the game and is an actor…missed photo op there.
