Pin Trading and the Road To Celebration Announced


The Road to Celebration has begun! The official Celebration website has been updated with all the details on this year's pin trading program and all the exciting things planned as we countdown to the biggest Star Wars Celebration ever!

Pin Trading is back! This year's pin collection features over 45 characters designed by artist Chrissie Zullo. When you bought your Celebration tickets you had the chance to purchase the first mystery pin in the collection, and Jedi Master's will receive an exclusive character pin as part of their VIP package. Now, the first of three Road to Celebration pin sets has been revealed.


Since this year is the 20th anniversary of The Phantom Menace, The first set features Darth Maul, Qui-Gon Jinn, Jar Jar Binks, and Watto. This set will go on sale tomorrow, Friday 22nd February, and come with an exclusive Road to Celebration shirt (likely featuring the pin badge art).

Two more sets will follow in the coming weeks.

The second set looks to be Rebels' Kanan and Hera;


And the third set looks to be Anakin and Padme;


All three of these sets will be available exclusively online as part of the Road to Celebration and will not be available at the show.

During Celebration you will be able to purchase pins from the Celebration store (in both sets and blind bags), from Exhibitors (select exhibitors will have exclusive pins available at their booths, look out for the Pin Trading logo), and by trading with staff members. There are some pins that can only be obtained by trading with Celebration Staff so make sure you keep your eyes open for them! You can also trade pins with your fellow fans and there will be a special pin trading area set up in the Celebration Store.


In addition to pin trading, the Road to Celebration is getting social!

Some Early Celebration Europe 2023 Advice

Image
  Over the next few weeks I'm going to start updating this blog with a new 2023 hub and working on new guides for next year. But for those of you who want to get the jump on things I figured I'd do a quick post with the information we do have (and a little on what we can expect to be different from last time Celebration was in London). Next year Star Wars Celebration is returning to London, and to the ExCeL Center where both Celebration Europe 2007 and 2016 were held. This will be the first four day Celebration in Europe and will take place over the Easter weekend from Friday, April 7, to Monday, April 10. Ticket sales haven't been announced yet (hopefully we should see them in the next month or two), so most of this will be focused on hotels and how things ran in 2016. First quick note - ExCeL is card only for their food court/own vendors, so keep that in mind when deciding how much money to change. Here are hotels next to ExCeL London: Whilst the majority of these booked ...

  The SWAG Crew is back and better than ever for Star Wars  Celebration Japan with a new website that is the perfect resource for learning all about SWAG and helping you to create your own. Fan made SWAG (stuff we all get/stuff we all give) is one of the nicest things to receive at Star Wars Celebration.

It's that personal touch that makes the fan SWAG so special. Want to get involved and make your own SWAG? The SWAG Crew Facebook page  is still here with a brilliant community who are more than ready to help you take your first steps into a larger fan world.
