Dublin Star Wars fans are rejoicing as a mini-con is coming to the city this April.
The event is coming to The Well pub on Saturday April 1 with guest speaker Hugh Spight, who acted in Return of the Jedi.
The actor was picked for the role after his creature effects and puppetry on Jim Henson’s classic 'The Dark Crystal'. He is also well known in the industry for controlling Daleks in 'Dr Who' and also for his puppetry skills on 'The Great Muppet Caper'.

The setting is set to be small and intimate so everyone in attendance will be able to meet Hugh and ask him any questions.
Artist and illustrator Martin McCanney will be live sketching on the day and will also have exclusive prints of his work alongside Retro Time Machine who sell vintage toys and collectibles at affordable prices. Make sure to have your camera at the ready because there will be a film-accurate 'Rogue Squad' of Imperial Stormtroopers at the event.
There is something for everyone including children as artist and writer Anthony Kelly will have a Pokemon trading area set up on the day.
People are encouraged to turn up in costume on the day to fully immerse themselves in the fun. The event will be on from 1pm to 3pm, tickets for adults are €15 and tickets for children are €10. All information and tickets can be found on eventbrite.
