Disney’s next magical fan convention is officially scheduled to occur on August 23-25, 2019 at the Anaheim Convention Center with tickets on sale as soon as this August.

Looking for Leia on Seed & Spark

Our friends with the Looking for Leia Documentary have launched a campaign on Seed & Spark to help them turn what was originally a feature-length documentary into a six-episode docuseries. The series, which has been called “a joyous gender justice project” highlights the experiences and contributions of women in the Star Wars fandom. Some of us here at Tosche Station have contributed our own fandom stories to the project and we hope to see it come to fruition. Learn more about the project on LookingForLeia.com and by following @LookingForLeia on Twitter.

That’s it for the week, stay tuned to us here at Tosche Station for more news and information from a Galaxy Far Far Away. As always, send Star Wars news tips our way when you see them.
