Virtual Star Wars Celebration Store Opens Tomorrow

 


Good morning Star Wars fans! Today would have been the big day. Star Wars Celebration Anaheim. In a perfect world we'd be catching up with old friends whilst lining up for the show floor, the opening panel (almost certainly a 40th anniversary celebration of The Empire Strikes Back), or maybe the show store. Well, Celebration itself might be delayed until 2022 but the show store is opening tomorrow!

Announced last night by the official site, everyone who had tickets to Star Wars Celebration 2020 will be able to access the official Celebration store from midday (ET) on Friday, August 28. Then, from midday on Monday, August 31, the store will be open to everyone.

You can head over to Shop.StarWarsCelebration.com right now to browse the initial selection of merchandise and if you had tickets for Anaheim 2020 you should receive an email today giving you instructions on how to log in for early access tomorrow.

I've update the 2020 Exclusives page with all the merchandise revealed so far, and a break down of this year's Pin Trading collection.

If this year's selection looks a little light compared with previous years, that's because it seems the merchandise will be released in waves this year. Both the official site article and the Celebration Pin Trading page say that that more will be released throughout the rest of 2020.

Personally, I'm not sure it's a good idea. As nice as it may be to spread out the cost, it's also asking fans to either pay multiple shipping costs or risk some items selling out as they wait for others (especially when, except for the pins, they don't know what else is coming that they may or may not want to purchase). But who knows, there may be a few more additions before the store opens tomorrow. After all, we've not seen anything based on whatever the key art was going to be this year.

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 ...
