He will be in attendance with Directors Cortney and Cristian Macht for The Force Among Us panel on Monday the 28th at 2:30 pm (Room 409 AB). Dan Madsen was interviewed for The Force Among Us documentary and can been seen in the film's "Highlight Reel" at www.youtube.com (key word: The Force Among Us). Madsen’s own company, Fantastic Media, who relaunched the Lucasfilm Fan Club in 1987, was also responsible for creating and producing the very first Star Wars Celebration in Denver in 1999.

As the founder of the Star Wars Insider magazine, Madsen worked closely with Lucasfilm on the Star Wars films as well as other George Lucas productions and created many exclusive Star Wars Fan Club collectibles which are treasured today. Under Madsen's leadership, the Official Fan Club reached its highest level of membership. He is also the author of the book, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles: On The Set And Behind The Scenes. Madsen (who actually was an actor before starting his fan club business) can be seen in his cameo role as Dams Denna, the Kaadu Handler, in Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace. He is currently working on his own film project.
