Hayden Christensen, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Ming-Na Wen Heading to Emerald City Comic Con

Star Wars fans attending Emerald City Comic Con this year are in for a serious treat. A stacked lineup of galaxy-far-far-away talent is set to appear, including Hayden Christensen, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Ming-Na Wen — three names that carry serious weight across Star Wars film and television.

According to event listings and convention coverage, the trio will be among the major guests appearing at Emerald City Comic Con, joining a broader lineup of film, TV, and comic legends scheduled to attend the popular Seattle-area convention.

With each actor representing a different era of Star Wars storytelling, their presence makes this year’s ECCC particularly appealing for fans across generations.

Anakin Skywalker Returns to the Convention Stage

Few Star Wars actors generate the same level of excitement as Hayden Christensen. Best known for portraying Anakin Skywalker in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, Christensen has experienced a major resurgence in recent years thanks to his return in Disney+ projects like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka.

Convention appearances from Christensen tend to draw huge crowds, and Emerald City Comic Con will likely be no different. Fans can expect photo ops, autograph sessions, and potentially panels reflecting on his evolving legacy in Star Wars — from prequel controversy to full-blown fan-favorite status.

For many attendees, the chance to meet the man behind Darth Vader’s tragic fall is reason enough to secure tickets.

Bryce Dallas Howard: From Director’s Chair to Fan Favorite

Bryce Dallas Howard has quietly become one of the most respected creative forces in modern Star Wars. While she’s widely known as an actor, her work behind the camera on The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett has earned significant praise.

Howard directed some of the most beloved episodes of The Mandalorian, helping define the tone and cinematic style of the Disney+ era. Her appearances at conventions often provide rare insight into the creative process behind Star Wars television — from working with practical effects to collaborating with Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau.

For fans interested in the future of Star Wars storytelling, her panels are usually packed with behind-the-scenes stories and production insights.

Ming-Na Wen Brings Fennec Shand Energy

Ming-Na Wen has become a staple of the modern Star Wars universe through her role as elite assassin Fennec Shand. Appearing in The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and The Bad Batch, Wen’s character has quickly cemented herself as one of the franchise’s coolest recurring figures.

Known for her high-energy convention appearances and deep appreciation for fandom culture, Wen is expected to be a highlight for attendees. Whether discussing stunt work, character development, or her long career across sci-fi and animation, she brings both humor and genuine fan enthusiasm to every panel.

A Strong Star Wars Presence at ECCC

Emerald City Comic Con continues to position itself as one of the biggest pop-culture conventions in North America, and this year’s guest list reflects that ambition. Alongside Christensen, Howard, and Wen, the event will feature a wide range of celebrities from film, television, comics, and gaming.

For Star Wars fans specifically, the presence of actors and creators spanning the prequel trilogy and Disney+ era signals a strong showing from the franchise. It also offers fans a rare opportunity to see different corners of the Star Wars universe represented under one roof — from Sith legends to New Republic storytellers.

Big Names, Big Panels, Big Hype

Convention appearances aren’t just about autographs and photo ops. They’re often where new stories are teased, behind-the-scenes details emerge, and fans get a sense of where the franchise might be heading next.

With Hayden Christensen continuing his Star Wars comeback, Bryce Dallas Howard shaping future storytelling behind the camera, and Ming-Na Wen representing the expanding live-action universe, this trio perfectly captures the past, present, and future of Star Wars.

If you’re heading to Emerald City Comic Con, the Force will definitely be strong on the convention floor.
