Via Marvel.com:

The world’s largest gathering of STAR WARS fans comes to California this month, as STAR WARS Celebration Anaheim 2015 takes place April 16-19, 2015 at the Anaheim Convention Center. With under a week until the show, the schedule of events reveals a number of events that fans of Marvel STAR WARS comics won’t want to miss!

Comic book fans know all about conventions, but STAR WARS Celebration stands out as unique with its focus on one franchise. It has become the destination for all things STAR WARS, for devotees of the classic films, new fiction, or those who want to learn more about the future of the mythology.

Celebration has long been the convention where creators bring exclusive reveals, never-before-seen content, and more than a few surprises. The show features four days of panels and special events, kicked off on Thursday morning by “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” director J.J. Abrams, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy, and some very special guests.

It can be easy to get wrapped up in the details and get stressed, but that path leads to the dark side. I have some general Celebration advice and some tips specific to the location to help you be as prepared as a Jedi Master.

In a special March 2014 StarWars.com blog post celebrating the Netflix release of Star Wars: The Clone Wars – The Lost Missions, series supervising director Dave Filoni thanked fans for their continued support, and shared his own sketches and concept art. He ended his post with one teaser image and note, addressing one of the show’s unanswered questions: “Yes, Echo is alive.” Finally, fans of the clone trooper will find out how and why.

StarWars.com is thrilled to announce that a previously unreleased four-episode story reel, “Bad Batch,” telling the story of how Captain Rex and company rescued Echo, will screen exclusively at Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim. The unfinished episodes (similar to the Utapau arc that appeared on StarWars.com) feature complete, final voice performances, specifically by Dee Bradley Baker, who voices the elite clones of “Bad Batch” group.

The screening will take place at the Digital Stage on Friday, April 17, at noon. A Q&A with Filoni, Baker, and writers Brent Friedman and Matt Michnovetz will follow. So mark your calendars, and prepare to welcome back one of the clone army’s greatest warriors!
