  So, you're off to Celebration! Like any convention, Star Wars Celebration is a melting pot of fans and creatives from all around the world. There's so much to see and do, and you'll likely be on the go for most of your time there, so a good convention bag with all your essentials is a must! Like with your main packing list , everyone will be different so this guide is to just to help pick out the essentials that most people will need whilst exploring the convention center in Anaheim.
