Today, we mourn the loss of Sir Patrick Stewart. An extraordinary actor whose talent, wisdom, and unforgettable performances inspired generations of fans.

From boldly going where no one had gone before as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in the "Star Trek" franchise to bringing X-men’s Professor Charles Xavier to life, Sir Patrick Stewart gave us characters who stood for compassion, courage, leadership, and hope.

With a remarkable career spanning more than six decades across stage, film, and television, his impact on entertainment and the lives of countless fans will never be forgotten.

Our hearts go out to his family, friends, colleagues, and fans around the world.

“Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey.”

We thank him for the stories, the memories, and the legacy he leaves behind. He will be greatly missed. A legend among the stars. Rest in peace, Sir Patrick Stewart. 🖖

Today, we remember the legendary Walter Koenig.

For nearly six decades, Walter was part of something much bigger than a television series. As the beloved Pavel Chekov in “Star Trek: The Original Series, ” he helped bring Gene Roddenberry's vision of a hopeful future to life, reprising his iconic role in seven Star Trek films and becoming a cherished part of science fiction history. His remarkable career extended beyond the USS Enterprise, including his unforgettable portrayal of the cunning Alfred Bester in "Babylon 5." Beyond his unforgettable performances, Walter was also a talented writer, contributing scripts to television series including "Land of the Lost" and "Family," as well as authoring books and other creative works. His storytelling talents, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes, left a lasting mark on generations of fans.

We were incredibly fortunate to welcome Walter to GalaxyCon and witness firsthand the love fans had for him. Seeing generations of Star Trek fans come together to meet someone who had meant so much to them was truly extraordinary. It was the chance to meet a childhood hero. Those moments, conversations, photographs, and autographs are memories that will be treasured forever.

Walter's legacy reaches far beyond the stars. He helped create a universe where people could find hope, belonging, friendship, and the belief that humanity could build a better tomorrow. His contributions to science fiction and the lives of those who loved it will never be forgotten.
Our hearts are with Walter's family, friends, fellow cast members, and the countless fans around the world whose lives he touched.

Thank you, Walter, for the adventures, the memories, and for being part of our GalaxyCon family. Your journey aboard the Enterprise may have ended, but your place among the stars is eternal.

The stars will shine a little brighter with you among them. 🖖
