Written By Andy Clark

Whether you're chasing autographs, selfies, or want to hear in-depth panel discussions with pearls of wisdom and insight from the actors who bring the Star Wars saga to life, 2025 is packed with opportunities across the UK. Here are some upcoming events that stand out in the calendar (and you can browse many more on the UK Star Wars map):

Starfury Invasion – Birmingham, September 19–21, 2025

Returning to the Hilton Metropole in Birmingham, Starfury Invasion is a more intimate convention which focuses on access to the actors who make the galaxy far, far away real. Across the weekend there is an amazing lineup featuring performers from Andor, Ahsoka and video games, and while the final schedule is not confirmed, expect intimate round-tables, lots of panel discussion and Q&A, and more relaxed photo and autograph opportunities and meet and greets.

I will be heading to Invasion this year and, while things can always change with filming schedules etc, the big news is that Diego Luna is set to make a rare appearance alongside co-stars from Andor.

  • Diego Luna, Cassian Andor, in Andor & Rogue One

  • Katy O’Brian, Elia Kane, in The Mandalorian

  • Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Sabine Wren, in Ahsoka

  • Ivanna Sakhno, Shin Hati, in Ahsoka

  • Elizabeth Grullon, Trilla Suduri, in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

  • Tina Ivlev, Merrin, in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and Survivor

  • Wes Chatham, Captain Enoch, in Ahsoka

  • Denise Gough, Dedra Meero, in Andor

  • Paul Darnell, Marrok, in Ahsoka

  • Elizabeth Dulau, Kleya Marki, in Andor

  • Kyle Soller, Syril Karn, in Andor

  • Robert Emms, Lonni Jung, in Andor

Comic Con Scotland – Edinburgh, October 11–12, 2025

Whenever Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker himself) comes to town it creates huge excitement for Star Wars fans, and he will be attending Comic Con Scotland in Edinburgh this October. He’s has been set to make multiple appearances this year in the UK, presumably due to filming Ahsoka season 2. His appearance in Liverpool earlier in the year was a quick sell out, and unfortunately his scheduled appearance in Manchester in July was cancelled last minute, so this is a great follow-up opportunity to meet the chosen one.

Not only is Hayden going to be in Edinburgh, but the event looks like an amazing day out for Star Wars fans with Ahsoka herself, Rosario Dawson making an appearance, Emily Swallow (the Armorer), and Jason Isaacs (the voice of the Grand Inquisitor in Rebels.
