Fifth Wave of Guests Announced for Star Wars Celebration

 

Thursday saw the announcement of the fifth wave of guests for Star Wars Celebration.

This time it was two of the incredible women of the sequel trilogy with the news that Kelly Marie Tran (Rose Tico) and Billie Lourd (Lieutenant Connix) will be joining the fans in Anaheim! Whilst both have attended Celebrations in the past, this will be the first time either have meet fans for autographs and photo ops.

Both have now been added to the Celebration Guests 2022 page, with direct links to their Epic pre-order pages. Their addition brings the total number of guests to 25 so it's looking likely that the guest list may be smaller this year compared to Chicago, but the next addition is the big one!

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.
