Fan Group Photos & Meet Ups
One of the most impressive sights at every Celebration is when the legions assemble. Whether it's the infamous 501st, the heroic Rebel Legion, the glorious Mando Mercs, or any of the multitude of costuming groups, the giant group photos that take place are always a breathtaking sight.
In London I totally missed seeing any of the group photos since they aren't really announced by any of the official sites or social media channels. But thanks to ObiAnne over at TheForce.net, the SWCC Discord Group, and a massive thanks to SWC 2019 Meets, Photos & Events we now know when these fantastic events will be taking place!
All of the group photos will be taking place outside at McCormick Place's Grand Concourse Staircase unless otherwise noted
