Listeners to this weeks forthcoming episode of Making Tracks will hear all about Legends Con, the first running of which takes place at the Marriott Convention Center in Burbank, California over the weekend of September 9th - 10th 2023. There's also a Kickstarter running to facilitate further guests, which needs the support of the wider literature community to see it reach target by 26th June, a week from today. The Legends Consortium announces their first LegendsCon, a fan-run convention focused on celebrating the Star Wars Expanded Universe books, comics, games, and other media that are now known as Legends. The show will feature vendors, artists, authors and other special guests all focused on Expanded Universe media. LegendsCon is open to all ages and will be held September 9th and 10th, 2023 at the Marriott Convention Center in Burbank, California. The convention is organized and run by fans of the Expanded Universe (Legends), and is not affiliated, sponsored or run by Lucasfilm LTD. All proceeds from LegendsCon will be donated to The Peter Mayhew Foundation, a 501(c)(3) founded by the late Peter and Angie Mayhew. The Mayhew Foundation is devoted to the alleviation of disease, pain, suffering, and the financial toll brought on by life’s traumatic events. “With this convention, we seek to create an event that brings together fans in an environment that fosters positivity and inclusivity while we celebrate our love of Legends material,” stated Katherine Winchell, Legends Consortium Executive Director. Creators who have contributed to the stories and history of the Star Wars Expanded Universe including Randy Stradley, Matthew Stover, Corinna Bechko, Sean Stewart, Barbara Hambly, and Abel Peña will be appearing at LegendsCon to meet with fans, sign autographs, and participate in panels throughout the weekend. The three panel halls featured at LegendsCon will also house fan-led panels, a small fanfilm festival, trivia contests, a costume contest, a fashion show, and live performances. Additionally, a reception will be held on the evening of Saturday, September 9th featuring hors d'oeuvres, a bar and exclusive swag. Tickets for LegendsCon are on sale now through EventBrite, and you can provide additional support though Kickstarter through June 26th, or via Kofi.com for a variety of perks and rewards. Donations provided to our Kickstarter campaign will help fund the appearance of more special guests at the event, as well as other exciting additions.
