Ewan McGregor, Ian McDiarmid, Andy Serkis Confirmed as Guests for Star Wars Celebration

Star Wars Celebration Europe continues to add more guests to its already-stacked lineup. The organization announced Monday that Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi), Ian McDiarmid (Emperor Palpatine), and Andy Serkis (Supreme Leader Snoke and Andor's Kino Loy) will be attending the event, signing autographs and taking pictures with fans.



McDiarmid is a regular of the event at this point, and might even have another panel of his own akin to last year's 'An Audience with the Emperor'. However, he will definitely be swinging by the 40th-anniversary panel for Return of the Jedi, which already added a long list of names last week. Billy Dee Williams, Denis Lawson, and Anthony Daniels have also been confirmed to be attending Celebration, so they will likely be taking the stage for that one too.



Serkis is the first cast member of Andor to be confirmed as a guest, though the Tony Gilroy series might still have a small presence via a production update -- they will still be shooting season 2 by the time Celebration comes around, so they don't really have a lot to promote.



And finally, McGregor clearly had a blast last year and wanted to return. He is not the only member of the Obi-Wan Kenobi family to be attending Celebration, as Vivien Lyra Blair (young Leia), Indira Varma (Tala Durith), and Hayden Christensen himself (Darth Vader) are also coming to London. Rupert Friend (the Grand Inquisitor) also said during the closing panel last year that he'd be there too, but he hasn't been confirmed yet. Whether or not all of this means an announcement for a season 2 of the hit series will be made, we don't know yet, but it's certainly not out of the question.
