2 New Guests announced
Nick Gillard - Swordmaster and Stunt Coordinator Nick Gillard will share his stories of creating the exciting lightsaber scenes in Episodes I, II, and III. Gillard has been the master choreographer behind some of the most memorable moments of the prequels, including the “Duel of the Fates” battle between Darth Maul, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Qui-Gon Jinn in The Phantom Menace, and Anakin Skywalker’s duel against Obi-Wan Kenobi in Revenge of the Sith. Gillard created individual fighting styles for each of the Jedi in the films, even though some of these were “fictional” martial arts. He felt that each style used needed to have an authentic, real-life feel. Taking into account each character’s distinctive personality and position in the Jedi order helped Gillard fashion a fighting style best suited to each.
Ray Park - Ray Park, the actor and acclaimed martial artist who performed Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace, became one of the iconic faces of the dark side for the Star Wars Saga. Park, who is a fan favorite whenever he appears, will be signing autographs, meeting fans, and is scheduled to appear on stage for an interview and question and answer session during the Celebration weekend.

Collins’ experience in acting, music, video games, and public relations, plus his life-long love of the Star Wars Saga make him a natural host for the Digital Stage, which will feature a huge variety of programming and entertainment. At Celebration IV he hosted shows that ranged from the show-stopping new look at Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series, to belly dancing lessons with Slave Leia. His style is entertaining, relaxed, and informative, and Collins is always ready to make the most of whatever surprises might be in store.

He is currently managing editor for StarWars.com, overseeing daily publication of content as well as developing special online spin-off projects for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Hidalgo is a walking encyclopedia of Star Wars knowledge, and some of his guests on the Behind-the-Scenes Stage just might learn something new about their own area of expertise

Faces of Boba Fett guests announced
Sorry for the delay in the update but between work and attending Star Wars Weekends 2010.
The official C5 site updated with the announcement that two faces behind the mask of Boba Fett will be making an appearance at C5
Dickey Beer and Jeremy Bulloch
Dickey Beer will make a first-time Celebration appearance, and will be available in the Autograph Hall run by Official Pix, Lucasfilm’s licensee for official photographs and signatures.
Beer has a wealth of behind the scenes stories, including of the many roles he performed in Return of the Jedi. On the skiff in the Sarlacc pit scene alone he performed stunts for both the Boba Fett and Luke Skywalker characters, essentially fighting himself in one scene. Beer’s busy career in stunts, stunt coordination, and production includes roles in Terminator 3, Hancock, and Pineapple Express.
Jeremy Bulloch, the actor behind one of the most famous helmets of the Star Wars Saga, will appear at Star Wars Celebration V this August, greeting fans and signing in the Autograph Hall. Bulloch, always entertaining and personable, is scheduled to appear on stage for interview and question & answer time as well.
While he might be known best for his role as the bounty hunter Boba Fett — the fan-favorite character that is the “face” of Celebration V in the show’s logo — Bulloch has also had some face time of his own in the movies, portraying Captain Colton in Revenge of the Sith, and Lieutenant Sheckil in The Empire Strikes Back. He is well-loved by fans at his Star Wars appearances.
Outside of the galaxy far, far away, Bulloch’s extensive television and movie credits include roles in “Doctor Who,” “Robin of Sherwood,” and three James Bond movies.

Our friends over at the Orange County Regional History Center sent us the following notice for all Star Wars fans in Florida
Out of this World: Extraordinary Costumes from Film and Television
February 6 – May 16, 2010
Discover new ways of seeing characters as defined by their costumes in this exhibition featuring more than 40 costumes and objects spanning 60 years from "Star Wars," "Blade Runner," "Terminator 2," "Indiana Jones," "Star Trek," "Ghostbusters II," "Batman," and many more of the most popular films and television shows of all time.
