Mike Ensley can die a happy man.

When Ensley began the long process of recruiting guests for the 2014 Pensacon, there was one man he wanted on the bill above all — Peter Mayhew.

Mayhew is the flesh and blood man who has brought Chewbacca to life in the “Star Wars” movies.

It wasn’t an easy get, but when Ensley got the British-born actor to agree to come to Pensacon, a childhood dream came true.

Now as Ensley and his crew work on planning Pensacon 2015, they aim to build an event that will make lots of dreams like his come true.

But they are also planning the next iteration of the convention for sci-fi, horror, fantasy and comic book fans with a keen eye on improving the experience this year. Watch and learn more.
