And speaking of fans - check out all of the home made SWAG (something we all get) that fans will have to give away or trade!

Poker chips seem to be a running theme this year, but there's also a wide variety of patches, pins, coins, and more! You might find some of these amazingly generous fans at the SWC SWAG CREW table over the weekend, but more likely it will just be something given to you in a random act of kindness from a fellow fan. Star Wars fans are the best and Celebration seems to bring out the best in all fans! Special thanks to ksomm814 over at TheForce.net for sharing the SWAG list!

UPDATE - Many of the fan booths will have SWAG of some kind, ranging from patches from the collecting sites and collectors clubs to posters from the Mando Mercs (below) so make sure you drop by and say hi!

Even without The Star Wars Show (what happened?!) there's still some big Celebration news today as eager fans across America began to receive their badges and the first information on the new queueing system. Whilst the full details of the new system haven't been revealed yet, it looks like Celebration's infamous overnight line ups (seen above in an image from WDW Info) are now a thing of the past. The Resistance Broadcast's Lacey Gilleran shared pictures of her VIP badge today (featuring some great Qui-Gon Jinn artwork) which came bearing the message Activate your badge now to maximize your SWCC Experience!
