Welcome to our fifth annual Your Star Wars Guide to Emerald City Comic Con! Our goal here is to set you up for having the most Star Wars-infused Seattle con experience possible! As ECCC has grown both in size and popularity (it’s completely sold out as of this writing) it can be easy to become overwhelmed and miss out on all the Star Wars fun the con has to offer. Well, that is where From4-LOMtoZuckuss.com comes in, to help you Star Warsify your trip to the Emerald City’s largest convention.

Once again this year Jake Stevens is joined by his Galaxy of Toys Podcast co-host and fellow Seattle Area Lucasfilm Collectors Club (SARLACC) member, Ryan Beise, hosting an updated version of the Jake and Matt Fox’s Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017 panel titled, “40 for 40: Highlights from Four Decades of Star Wars Collectibles” Join these lifelong Star Wars collectors as they celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Star Wars toys by chronicling 40 different toy lines and collectibles from the past four decades.

Now before we begin, we’d highly suggest that first and foremost, before heading to the con to download the ECCC app on your smartphone or device as it will allow you schedule any or all of the following you’re interested in attending and seeing.
