This year we are doing it again! This year we celebrate the fun of reading about our favorite galactic heroes and villains with Star Wars Origami author Christopher Alexander, members of the 501st, and fans from all over the galaxy. We have a lot of fun activities planned including a civilian costume contest judged by members of the 501st, and a great Death Star backdrop for family photography! So break out your gold bikini, load your little Jedis into your X-Wing, and fly on over to celebrate with us, and May the Force Be with You.

NOON SUNDAY, JANUARY 13 Timothy Zahn • Star Wars: Scoundrels Hugo-award winner Timothy Zahn, best known for his New York Times bestselling Star Wars novels, visits with Scoundrels, his new novel set in the Star Wars universe. Members of the 501st Legion: Dune Sea Garrison also attend in full Stormtrooper uniform!

Han Solo should be basking in his moment of glory after having just played a key role in the daring raid that destroyed the Death Star and landed the first serious blow to the Empire in its war against the Rebel Alliance. But there's a bounty on his head—and if he can't cough up the credits, he'll surely pay with his hide. The only thing that can save him is a king's ransom. Or maybe a gangster's fortune? That's what a mysterious stranger is offering in exchange for Han's less-than-legal help with a riskier-than-usual caper. So Han assembles a gallery of rouges—including his indispensable sidekick Chewbacca and the cunning Lando Calrissian. But will their crime really pay, or will it cost them the ultimate price?

EVENT DETAILS Event ticket (admits two) is free when you purchase Scoundrels from Changing Hands Bookstore. Letter groups (printed on top of ticket) will be called at 11am to fill seats and designated standing room. If available, seating and standing room opens to those without tickets at 11:45am.

The team of Scoundrels – Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian – is back in action and on the run when they are tasked with stealing from a crime lord in Timothy Zahn’s new interstellar heist adventure, set in the classic “Han Shot First” era of George Lucas’s Star Wars universe. Tim’s Thrawn trilogy, written 20-some years ago, was the first introduction for many readers to the expanded universe. Members of the local 501st will attend in costume, and we anticipate a lively discussion of the plans to continue the movie franchise under the House of Mouse.
