Mark Hamill Is Heading to FAN EXPO Anaheim for a Rare Live Appearance

Mark Hamill is officially heading to FAN EXPO Anaheim: Special Edition, giving Star Wars fans a rare chance to see Luke Skywalker himself at one of the summer’s biggest convention events. FAN EXPO’s official site confirms Hamill as a featured guest for the June 26–28 show at the Anaheim Convention Center.

This Is Being Framed as a Rare Appearance

That word matters here. FAN EXPO is explicitly calling this a rare appearance, and Official Pix has also promoted it that way in its announcement. For longtime Star Wars fans, that immediately makes this more than just another convention guest update.

Mark Hamill Live Is Part of the Event

There is also a dedicated Mark Hamill Live special event scheduled for Friday, June 26. FAN EXPO’s official event page lists multiple ticket tiers for that session, including Gold Ticket ($99.99), Silver Ticket ($29.99), and General Admission (free), while noting that general seating is first-come, first-served and not guaranteed. Get them here.

Photo Ops, Autographs, and Ticket Timing

Fans hoping to go all in will want to watch the sales date closely. FAN EXPO says that photo ops, autographs, and special experience tickets go on sale March 24 at 10 AM PT. That same timing is repeated across the main event site and the special experiences page.

Why This One Stands Out

Hamill still makes headlines because appearances like this do not happen every week. FAN EXPO Anaheim is also a brand-new special edition event running June 26–28, 2026, which gives this announcement a bit more weight than a routine guest reveal. Yahoo’s coverage of the convention launch likewise highlighted Hamill as the headlining rare appearance for the inaugural Anaheim show.

A Big Star Wars Draw for Anaheim

For Star Wars fans in California and beyond, this is the kind of convention booking that can move a lot of tickets fast. Whether people are there for the live session, an autograph, a photo op, or just the novelty of seeing Hamill headline a new FAN EXPO event, Anaheim suddenly has one very strong Star Wars hook this summer. That last point is an inference based on FAN EXPO’s positioning of Hamill as the marquee rare guest and the dedicated ticketed experiences around him.
