Celebrating STAR WARS

  I'm gonna be broke!! Last night StarWars.com posted a first look at some of the exclusive merchandise that will be on sale at the Star Wars Celebration Show Store next year! Split across 4 collections (SWC Logo, Star Wars  50th Anniversary, SWC Key Art, and More Merch) these first reveals cover everything from stickers to throw rugs. But that's not all, the official Celebration website updated it's merch page to feature all of the new reveals along with their pricing as it's anticipated that all of these reveals will be available to pre-order next week when you order tickets! This will be by far the biggest merchandise pre-order offered in Celebration's history! They're clearly going all out for the 50th and if this much is being offered up front I'm very excited to see all the other things will available in the actual show store. From the reveals today, the 50th Anniversary Flight Jacket and the Key Art Spirit Jersey are the stand outs to me (I am so ha...

  LET'S GO!!!! This is the moment we've been waiting for since the show floor closed on the final day of Star Wars  Celebration Japan just under a year ago. Today StarWars.com announced that tickets and hotel block for next year's Star Wars Celebration Los Angeles will go on sale May 6, 2026. But that's not all! They also revealed the gorgeous key art by David Ball and Julien Rico Jr. I don't know about you, but I can't wait to have that on a t-shirt! I love the classic Luke and Leia pose and the Hollywood style Star Wars  sign. Along side the announcement the official Star Wars Celebration site was updated for SWCLA2027 giving us ticket pricing, our first look at the Key Art t-shirt (one of the items you'll be able to pre-order with your tickets) and a few other bits of information so let's dive in!

  We are well into the home stretch and the news is coming thick and fast so this is another round up post to try and cover everything from the last few days. First, some sad news. On Saturday, April 5, it was announced that Oscar Isaac would no longer be attending Star Wars  Celebration Japan due to production commitments. I've updated the Celebration Guests page to reflect this. This means that his Saturday panel, "A Conversation with Oscar Isaac", is also cancelled. However, I do have to admit that ReedPop have put together an impressive replacement, especially on such short notice. Replacing Oscar's panel on the Galaxy Stage will be "Stars of Star Wars ", where Vanessa Marshall will host a conversation with Mads Mikkelsen, Manny Jacinto, and Sam Witwer! I was looking forward to Oscar's panel but I'm equally excited for this. On Friday, April 4, StarWars.com  gave us our first look at some of the merch that will be in the official Celebration Sh...

  ILM’s latest foray into virtual reality is coming to Star Wars Celebration. Star Wars: Beyond Victory  is a “mixed reality playset” set around the time of  Solo that is being created exclusively for Meta Quest 3 and 3S headsets and aims to literally bring the world of podracing into players living rooms in ways never experienced before. Announcing the game last week StarWars .com  revealed that fans at Celebration would be the first in the galaxy to get to play the game (along with demos for previous games such as Vader’s Quest and Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge) at ILM/Meta Quest’s booth (20-5) on the show floor. And that’s not all! An exclusive prequel comic for the game will be available as a free giveaway at the booth as well! I still remember the original ILMxLAB Trials on Tatooine experience back at Celebration Europe in 2016! I can’t want to see how for things have come!

  We are heading into the home stretch and the last 24 hours has seen a whole host of updates. If you’ve ordered photo ops or autographs you will have received an email telling you that your order has now been updated with your group and time so check those asap because if you have a clash it’s very easy to switch dates (provided the other dates/times aren’t sold out). The Star Wars Celebration mobile app has been updated for Japan and is available now for both iOS and Android . The official app gives you quick access to the panel schedule, show floor and entry maps, FAQ, accessibility information and more, plus it can send you push notifications ahead of those panels and events that you don’t want to miss. You won’t be able to register your badge until you pick them up on site but you can still register your email which will give you access to another returning event - Droid Hunt! Hidden throughout the seven halls that make up the show floor will be seven droid images with a QR c...
