In fact, the actress will be joining a very exciting panel alongside Ezra Bridger actor Eman Esfandi and Morgan Elsbeth actress Diana Lee Inosanto, both from Ahsoka, that Sunday. Natasha Liu Bordizzo will not be offering autographs, but she will be offering solo photo ops or photo ops alongside Dawson or Esfandi. More information can be found on her FAN EXPO Philadelphia page.

Natasha Liu Bordizzo debuted as live-action Sabine Wren in the Ahsoka show just last year, and she stepped into the role beautifully. It’s thrilling to see that even the newer Star Wars cast members are taking part in FAN EXPO Philadelphia. In fact, it’s particularly exciting that so many Star Wars actors are coming together for the convention, offering completely unique experiences to engage with a significant number of cast members from shows like Ahsoka and Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Ezra Bridger Live-Action Actor Eman Esfandi

Like Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Ezra Bridger live-action actor Eman Esfandi will be attending FAN EXPO Philadelphia on Saturday and Sunday. However, Esfandi will be offering autographs. Esfandi will also be offering a number of photo ops. Along with solo photos, Esfandi will also be posing for photo ops alongside fellow Ahsoka actress Diana Lee Inosanto, who plays Morgan Elsbeth in the show, and Natasha Liu Bordizzo.

Ahsoka Tano Voice Actress Ashley Eckstein

Rosario Dawson picked up the Ahsoka Tano torch brilliantly, but audiences first fell in love with Ashley Eckstein’s portrayal in The Clone Wars and in Star Wars Rebels. The Ahsoka voice actress will be in attendance every day of FAN EXPO Philadelphia, and she too will be offering a variety of photo ops. In addition to solo photos and photos alongside her Ahsoka counterpart Rosario Dawson, Eckstein is offering a photo op titled “Clone Wars Quad” with fellow Clone Wars voice actors James Arnold Taylor (Obi-Wan Kenobi), Matt Lanter (Anakin Skywalker), and Dee Bradley Baker (Captain Rex).

Eckstein is a particularly excellent Star Wars actress to meet with at the expo, as she has been incredibly vocal about her love for the character and the franchise. Eckstein is also the founder of the company Her Universe, a fashion and lifestyle brand that sells incredible clothing, accessories, and other items for franchises and fandoms, Star Wars included. Additional information can be found on Eckstein’s FAN EXPO Philadelphia page.

Morgan Elsbeth Actress Diana Lee Inosanto

Morgan Elsbeth Actress Diana Lee Inosanto will attend FAN EXPO Philadelphia on Star Wars Day and the following day, Sunday, May 5th. Although Diana Lee Inosanto debuted as Morgan Elsbeth in The Mandalorian, she and her character were given significantly more screen time in Ahsoka. In fact, it wasn’t until Ahsoka that Star Wars revealed Morgan Elsbeth’s origins as one of the Nightsisters of Dathomir, the franchise’s Force-sensitive witches. Excitingly, Inosanto will be coordinating with several of her Ahsoka co-stars during FAN EXPO Philadelphia.

In addition to solo photo ops, Inosanto will offer photos alongside Ahsoka castmate Eman Esfandi. She will also be signing autographs and, perhaps most thrillingly, co-hosting the panel about Ahsoka alongside Eman Esfandi and Natasha Liu Bordizzo. Additional information on where and when to meet Inosanto can be found on her FAN EXPO Philadelphia celebrity page.

The Armorer Actress Emily Swallow

Emily Swallow, the actress who portrayed the Armorer in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, will attend every day of FAN EXPO Philadelphia. Swallow will be offering solo photo ops and will be signing autographs for each day she attends. Swallow is also participating in a Q&A titled “This Is The Way: A Q+A with The Armorer Emily Swallow” on Star Wars Day, during which she will discuss her experiences with The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian.

As the Armorer, Emily Swallow’s character refuses to ever remove her Mandalorian helmet, just as Din Djarin (mostly) does. This makes the fan expo an even more unique opportunity to capture an image with the woman behind the mask. Additional information on Emily Swallow’s appearances at the expo can be found on her FAN EXPO Philadelphia page.

Wedge Antilles Actor Denis Lawson

Wedge Antilles actor Denis Lawson is the only original Star Wars trilogy cast member attending FAN EXPO Philadelphia, making his appearance particularly exciting. Wedge first appeared in A New Hope as an ace Rebel pilot working to destroy the Death Star, solidifying his spot as an iconic part of Star Wars history. Additionally, Lawson is part of a significant Star Wars family connection as the real-life uncle of Obi-Wan Kenobi actor Ewan McGregor.

Lawson will attend every day of Fan Expo Philadelphia and will be offering solo photo ops each day. Lawson will also be participating in a talk titled “Piloting the Galaxy with Denis Lawson” on Friday, May 3rd, at 7:00 PM EST.

Cara Dune Actress Gina Carano

Gina Carano portrayed Cara Dune, a former shock trooper fighting against the Empire in the Dark Times and Din Djarin’s close friend in The Mandalorian in season 1 and season 2. The actress will be attending FAN EXPO Philadelphia on Star Wars Day and on Sunday, May 5th. On both days, Carano will be offering solo photo ops and autographs. Additionally, she will be hosting a talk titled “A Seasoned Warrior: Meet Gina Carano” on Sunday, May 5th at 1:45 PM EST.

The conversation will include discussions of MMA fighting, Deadpool, and The Mandalorian, and is sure to be full of intriguing information. Carano has a fascinating history as a former MMA fighter, and she portrayed the antagonist Angel Dust in the first Deadpool movie. More information on Carano’s FAN EXPO Philadelphia appearances can be found on her celebrity page.

K-2SO Voice Actor Alan Tudyk

Alan Tudyk’s face might not be as familiar as his voice to some Star Wars audiences, as Tudyk voiced the droid K-2SO in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. K-2SO was highly beloved in Rogue One because of his comedy, which Tudyk’s delivery was absolutely key to. In fact, this will have been no easy feat, not only because he was able to act on voice alone but also because Rogue One is such a crushing movie, depicting the demise of multiple Rebels. Tudyk will be attending FAN EXPO Philadelphia on Saturday, May 4th, and on Sunday, May 5th.

Tudyk will be offering autographs and solo photo ops each day. Additionally, Tudyk will be participating in a conversation titled “All the Voices of Alan Tudyk” on Saturday, May 4th, at 3:45 PM EST, no doubt discussing his time as K-2SO among his other previous roles. Additional information about Alan Tudyk’s FAN EXPO Philadelphia appearance can be found on his celebrity page.

Cal Kestis Voice Actor Cameron Monaghan

One particularly exciting name among Star Wars actors who will be attending FAN EXPO Philadelphia is Cameron Monaghan, the voice actor behind Cal Kestis. Cal Kestis is the protagonist in the Star Wars video games Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, set between the prequel and original trilogies, during the Dark Times. Monaghan will be attending Fan Expo Philadelphia on May 4th only.

On May 4th, Monaghan will offer both photo ops and autographs.
