Celebrating STAR WARS

It's not the most exciting part of your holiday but unlike Han Solo you can't just blast your way out of a spaceport so this guide is a quick overview of the passports, ESTAs, and visas that are essential for international fans. Passports The simple rule of thumb is that your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months after your visit to America. There are some countries that are exempt from this rule, where your passport only needs to be valid until your date of departure. The UK is one of these, but even here most travel agents will still advise you to have the six months. Better to be safe and make sure you have it. ESTAs Entry to the USA normally requires a visa but citizens/eligible nationals from 38 countries are eligible for a visa waiver under the ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) system. If you are eligible to travel under an ESTA then PLEASE USE THE OFFICIAL SITE . It costs $14 per person. There are so many sites ou...

What a few months it's been. It's been a little quiet on the old Celebration front over the last few months so this blog has been pretty inactive but yesterday certainly changed that with the announcement of Star Wars Nite at Disneyland for the opening day of Celebration! Over the last few months we've had the final season of Resistance , the first season of The Mandalorian , The Rise of Skywalker has brought the (first) saga to its conclusion, and the final season of The Clone Wars is less than a month away. We're about seven months away from Star Wars Celebration Anaheim and, as yesterday showed, we can probably expect the news to start trickling in now before the floodgates really open in the summer. It was about seven months ahead of Chicago that David Collins and Amy Ratcliffe were announced as the hosts of the Galaxy and Behind the Scenes Stages so hopefully we can expect a similar announcement soon. Over at the official Celebration website application...

The official Star Wars Celebration twitter account was brought out of carbon freeze today with the announcement that new merchandise is now available to pre-order with your Celebration badges. Already got your badges? No worries, you should soon be receiving an email on how you can add merch to your existing order. In previous years you have been able to call and get items added but this announcement makes me think there will be some kind of online add on process available this year which would be fantastic! New merch items are now available for pre-order! Already purchased tickets? Be on the lookout for an e-mail with instructions on how to add pre-order merch to your existing order. Still need to purchase tickets? A limited amount are available! https://t.co/VVVLtcd3Fz #StarWars pic.twitter.com/sWzNhTTSqb — StarWars Celebration (@SW_Celebration) January 23, 2020 I've updated the 2020 Exclusives page with all of the images so far but the 40th Anniversary ...
