From August 12 through August 15, Laga’aia will welcome stars from the casts and crews of the Star Wars movie and television saga to the Celebration Stage. Star Wars fans attending Laga'aia’s shows will find him warm, engaging, vibrant, and always entertaining.

Celebration V comic pack
The official Star Wars blog carried an article regarding more Toy Fair 2010 coverage. Here is another Celebration 5 must have.
For Celebration V in August, a second comic 2-pack including Camie and Fixer from the Star Wars: Empire comic (and the cut Tatooine scenes from A New Hope) will be available, also through Hasbro and StarWarsShop. Could a womp rat be far behind?
