At Echo Base Con 2025, it's not just about autographs and merchandise — it’s also about stories. Stories from actors who have been part of the universe for decades, from creators who worked behind the scenes on iconic moments, and from fans who put on the helmets themselves or built their own droids. On the Main Stage “Mos Espa” and the Fan Stage “Mandalore,” you’ll find inspiring panels, unique conversations, and unexpected insights throughout the day .
 
Anthony Daniels reflects on nearly fifty years as C-3PO. Michael Lynch, appearing at a European convention for the first time, takes you inside the ILM model shop. Diana Lee Inosanto shares her career journey and her role as Morgan Elsbeth in The Mandalorian and Ahsoka. Josh Roth shows how lightsabers and droids come to life on set, and together with Julian Glover and Cathy Munroe we celebrate the 45th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back.
 
There’s also plenty of space for fans and creators from the Benelux. From the popular panel The Scruffy Looking Nerf Herders Strike Back to the stunning costumes and droids of the cosplay groups. There’s a quiz for true connoisseurs, a live celebration of ten years of Star Wars Awakens, and an inspiring journey past Star Wars filming locations around the world.
 
Seating is open and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note: the front rows in both theatres are reserved for VIP visitors up until five minutes before each panel begins.
