Star Wars prodigal son Hayden Christensen returns for Seattle's Emerald City Comic Con 2026

This is where the fun begins, because Star Wars' Hayden Christensen is coming to ECCC 2026.

Hayden Christensen is coming full circle as he's in the middle of a string of new Star Wars projects reprising his role as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, and speaking of reprising classic roles, he is returning to star in Emerald City Comic Con this March.

Christensen will be taking a break from the work on Lucasfilm's Ahsoka season 2 to return to Seattle's ECCC to meet fans, share stories, and get a fresh cup of coffee from Monorail Expresso. (That last thing may be just me, but I'll let you know what Hayden tells us!). After previously appearing with us here back in 2021, Christensen is returning for ECCC 2026 in what is the latest announcement of major guests coming to our four-day PNW convention.

Hayden Christensen will be at ECCC 2026 all day with us on the Saturday of the show, to meet fans for photo ops and autographs (for which Popverse ECCC Superfans will get early access to, with a 25-hour presale beginning January 8 at 11am Pacific, 2pm Eastern). 

Tickets for Emerald City Comic Con 2026 are on sale right now, and Popverse Superfans get special access to photo ops, autographs from celebrities such as Christensen, and more. Lots to look forward to! In fact, here's everything an ECCC Popverse Superfan membership will get at this year's show: 

  • Guaranteed first access to tickets
  • First access to artist alley
  • Premium access to purchase photo ops, autographs, and exclusive merch
  • Fast pass autos/photo ops
  • Access to our ECCC Superfan lounge
  • Access to Popverse's video archive from all ReedPop conventions, including NYCC, C2E2, and previous ECCCs

More information about what it takes to get a Superfan membership can be found here.

Emerald City Comic Con 2026 runs March 5 through March 8, 2026, at the Seattle Convention Center. Popverse will be there the entire time, and we hope to see you there, too!
