Celebrating STAR WARS

  We've been seeing a slow roll out of exhibitor exclusive announcements for a while now but yesterday StarWars.com  and the official Celebration website updated to reveal multiple exclusives and early releases that fans can expect to find on the show floor. I've added all of these to the Vendor Exclusives 2025 page , but let's take a quick. look at some of what was revealed last night. First up is a gorgeous Black Series 2-pack from Hasbro based on Star Wars: Visions  featuring The Ronin and R5-D65. These figures will be available as a standard release later but this exclusive "Japanese-only-single-language collectible" edition will only be available at Celebration. Audia-Technica will be have an early release of their limited edition wireless earbuds that will release in the US on May 4. Jazwares will also have a Star Wars: Visions  inspired early release, launching an X-Wing with Karre and R-DUO at Celebration. One of my favorite though is the Celebration exc...

  To paraphrase Ezra, "One last reservation." Cosplay Changing Room Reservations will go live tomorrow at 4PM (PDT) March 28 / 8AM (JST) March 29. Like with the panel reservations earlier this week, the queue link will be shared on Star Wars Celebration's official social media channels and should be added to the Cosplay page an hour before reservations go live. Once on the reservation page you will be asked to select the day that you require a reservation for and your gender. Select your in and out times, select coat check (you must do this) and then complete your reservation. On the day, head to Hall 9 on Level 1 and present your reservation PDF (accessed from your confirmation email). The changing rooms will be primarily locker room style with some private changing areas available on a first come, first served basis with priority given to minors. Cosplay changing rooms will cost ¥1,500 per day. This cost includes access to change into and out of costume, and storage...

The one schedule we don't have yet is that of the Star Wars  Celebration LIVE! Stage. Sometimes we get (some) of this schedule in advance, other times it's kept as a surprise. Celebration LIVE! is the next best thing to being there, streaming some of the major panels and featuring exclusive interviews with special guests throughout the weekend so it's well worth stopping by when you're on the show floor.

  This is the way (to get panel and Lightspeed Lane reservations). Last night Star Wars  Celebration officially announced  the return of the Lightspeed Lane for the Celebration Store and a new Panel Reservation system that will replace the lottery system used since 2019. But, not hidden but certainly buried away, was an even bigger announcement - the 4 main panels of Star Wars  Celebration Japan 2025!! Kicking things off, the Lucasfilm Showcase is out and dedicated movie panels are back in! The Mandalorian & Grogu  opens Celebration on Friday and will hopefully give attendees (and the world) the first full teaser trailer for Star Wars'  eagerly awaited return to the big screen. Saturday brings with it two major panels - Andor: A Star Wars Story  and Ahsoka . The upcoming Disney+ shows each get their turn in the spotlight and will hopefully give fans an early glimpse at the next step in Ahsoka's journey and maybe a premiere invite for Andor's final ...
