Hey, are you guys aware of any celebrities/famous people who play x-wing? Let's make the definition of "celebrity" broad...

Will Wheaton, and that dude who was in the Austin Powers movies and made robot chicken.

Seth Green?

I saw a pic of StackPole playing X-wing once.

Me, I play.

Do you know who I am?

I don't know if he... plays per se, but he was on the Tabletop episode featuring it, so he's played it at least once

But we're not considering Wil Wheaton somebody, or a a celebrity, right?

I'm kind of a big deal

Not in this universe! But in another one he qualifies.

On Kashyyyk I'm a celebrity, and I play.

I've got my name on TV credits, do I count? No? Oh...

No known celebrities from my end playing.

Vin diesel plays geeky games. X-Wing??? Idk.

Old show now. Exhibit A. Assistant editor. Sometimes scenery on camera. Bet they wish they dressed me as a potted plant with my poor acting abilities. It was a cool job, great few years. Made a complete idiot of myself in front of the host on more than one occasion...

By the by, Stackpole seems to poke into a few games in universe to what he writes. Friend of mine has Stackpole dice, which were used by the author in a Battletech game years ago. Good luck charms of a sort.

Edit: as I am still collecting likes to this post... For those yet to come, an IMDb reference.

Not X-Wing per se, but I just came across this old blog (hooray for google translate) that has an interesting list of celebrities who play 40K or D&D. Apparently Megan Fox is a Skaven player.

You know what is great, Peter Cushing (Grand Moff Tarkin) played with battle miniatures.

The only celebrity I can say for certain played games was that Robin Williams played (or collected) Warhammer. And the only way I can say that for certain is I have actually seen pictures someone took with him inside a GW store. Beyond that, I think it is all hearsay.

Robin Williams was also a pc gamer...battlefield 2 was one of his favorites...sniping camper mother******

I've got my own IMDB page. Does that count?

Super big in WoW as well, iirc they have memorialized his character in game.

Is that why he killed himself?

I liked Death to Smoochy!

Carrie Fisher.

Carrie Fisher is God.

I bet she doesn't use the Leia crew card.

Wait...
