    With May the Fourth on the horizon, Star Wars creators are joining forces once again to raise funds for Make-A-Wish, in the fourth annual edition of Podathon.



    The event, hosted online at ThePodathon.com, will start at 9am EST and continue until late evening on May 4, 2024. Throughout the day, viewers can tune in to enjoy content from a dozen of the most popular Star Wars fan creators while having the opportunity to contribute directly through the 'Podathon Make-A-Wish' online platform. Every donation received will directly benefit the foundation.



    In addition, every $10 donated directly to Make-A-Wish will get the donor an entry to win great prizes from Regal Robot, Denuo Novo, 2797 Studios, Insight Editions, Chronicle Books, Lucasfilm, and more, plus autographs from actors like Vanessa Marshall (Hera Syndulla on Rebels). Since its inception in 2020, Podathon has raised over $27,000 for Make-A-Wish.



    Celebrity guests confirmed so far include Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian), Paul Sun-Hyung Lee (The Mandalorian, The Last Airbender, Kim’s Convenience), Pablo Hidalgo and Matt Martin (Lucasfilm Story Group), LeAndre Thomas (director of Star Wars: Visions' 'The Pit'), Justin Ridge (Lucasfilm Animation), Michael Siglain (Lucasfilm Publishing), authors Zoraida Córdova, Lydia Kang and Tessa Gratton, and Jordan Hembrough (Our Star Wars Stories). More guests will be announced leading up to the day.
