A main stage session featuring ILM modelmaker Lorne Peterson, R2-D2 and Don Bies, and Carrie Fisher. The panel combined behind-the-scenes modelmaking, droid performance and an appearance by one of the original trilogy’s central cast members.

Carrie Fisher was one of Celebration II’s major guest draws. Her autograph line was one of the weekend’s largest and became part of the broader crowd story of the convention.
