The Star Wars Zone Celebrates 20 Years Of The Phantom Menace at London Film And Comic Con

On Friday I'll be taking the kids to the London Film & Comic Con. I even have a table, up in the Comics Zone, in full view of Rob Liefeld and Arthur Suydam. If need be, I will cower behind Mark Buckingham, who remains the nicest man in comic book Christendom.

But there's lots more going on. And London Film & Comic Con are dedicating a whole area to Star Wars. And our friends at FanthaTracks are trying to increase the attraction, ahead of D23, with Star Wars cosplayers, UK Garrison , Rebel Legion, Joker Squad and Mandalorian Mercs for the 20th anniversary of The Phantom Menace. It's taken that long for you to forget.

The show will be bringing in Alan Harris, Erin Kellyman, Daniel Mays, Pam Rose, Terry Francis, Bill Westley, John Cannon, Ron Hone, Grant Hall, Peter Ross, Derek Chafer, Eileen Roberts, Vic Gallucci, Derek Arnold, Tom Wilton, David Church, Syd Wragg, Steve Ismay, Hayden Christensen, Alan Fernandes, Andy Bradford, Neil Ellis, Barbara Frankland, Rusty Goffe, Ross Beadman, Peter House, Guy Henry, Quentin Pierre, Tony Allen, Tony Smart, Kieron Gillen,  Ian McDiarmid, Andy de la Tour, Gary Erskine, Jonathan Cohen, Julian Glover, David Roach, Peter Serafinowicz, Katie Purvis, Jessica Henwick, Paul Blake, Will Sliney, Jason Isaacs, Michael Carter, Billy Dee Williams, Corey Dee Williams and Ian Whyte to Olympia.

They'll be showcasing "The Phantom Toys of Episode One" an exhibition of the unproduced toys and ideas from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

Fantasy Flight's X-Wing Miniatures Game lets you pick your pilots, ships and proton torpedoes, then take to the skies in ship to ship combat. You can try out X-Wing Miniatures in The Star Wars Zone in their game demonstration area, headed up by the team at Asmodee UK to try your hand at Play Your Sabaac Right, The Kessel Run or The Carkoon Capers.

Available at the Star Wars Zone Merchandise Stand are a limited number of signed pieces for charity, including Rogue One Director Gareth Edwards signed posters and postcards, raising funds for Angelman Syndrome and Jeremy Bulloch-signed Hasbro Black Series Boba Fett Cardbacks, raising funds for Great Ormand Street Hospital.
