Celebrating STAR WARS

  The Celebration Online Store is now open! Ticket holders for Celebration Anaheim 2022 can now access shop.starwarscelebration.com for a selection of merchandise from the official show store. Two new shirts are included (or at least two shirts that weren't revealed before the show and I didn't see in the store) along with the traditional Commemorative Badge Art Set of all the different badges (minus Jedi Master), and the second Bad Batch  pin set which, due to shipping issues, wasn't available in Anaheim. The store will be available to everyone from Friday, July 1st.

  Well I didn't expect this so quickly! On Sunday Lucasfilm's Chris Argyropoulos announced that we could expect some Star Wars Celebration news this week. Then yesterday the official site was updated as social media channels announced that tickets for Celebration Europe 2023 would go on sale this week!! I expected an on sale date but the this week part definitely caught me off guard!

  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 ...

  What a Celebration that was! We've been back home a little over a week and it still feels like a dream. First looks at Andor  and The Mandalorian  Season 3 (and let's not forget Willow !), the announcement of Skeleton Crew , John Williams and Harrison Ford! The world premiere of Obi-Wan Kenobi ! And that was just Thursday! Saturday brought an extended trailer for The Mandalorian Season 3 and a first look at Ahsoka  (!!), plus Chopper and Grogu making their first appearances on the Celebration Stage, with Sunday giving a first look at The Bad Batch Season 2. And I've not even mentioned meeting Ewan McGregor or Disneyland's Star Wars Nite! Our first ever trip to Batuu (followed by an extended visit after Celebration). And then getting to meet so many friends from past Celebrations and new friends made online over the last three years. For me this was easily the best Celebration I've been to. I have no idea how they'll top it next year. And speaking of next year....
