Star Wars Celebration Announces Main Panels and Reservation System

 

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 season.


Sunday features the final major panel, First Look: Star Wars: Visions Volume 3. With this Celebration being in Japan it's no wonder they want to put the focus on Visions and some of the Japanese studios that helped to create the show.


So how do you get reservations? You can read my full guide here. But essentially ReedPop are using the same system they did for ticket and pin badge sales. There will be a virtual queue, when reservations go live everyone in the virtual queue will be sorted into a random order and let into the reservations in that order. Once in you will be able to make your Lightning Lane or Panel Reservations. So, unlike the old lottery system where you had a couple of weeks to enter, you will need to be there when the reservations go live for your best shot at reservations.

Lightspeed Lane Reservations go live on Thursday, March 13 at 4PM PT (7PM ET, 11PM GMT) / Friday, March 14 at 8AM JST.

Fans may select one date and time for their store reservation (whether they are attending one day or all three).

Lightspeed Lane Reservations will remain open until no passes remain.

Panel Reservations go live on Tuesday, March 25 at 4PM PT (7PM ET, 11PM GMT) / Wednedsay, March 26 at 8AM JST.

Fans may select one panel per day. Yes, they really are making us choose between Ahsoka and Andor.

Panel Reservations will remain open until Tuesday, April 8 at 1PM PT (4PM ET, 9PM BST) / Wednesday, April 9 at 5AM JST.

Please do check out the official guides and my breakdown, all linked above, but above all else, please make sure you complete the ticket transfer process so that all of your party can take part as tickets cannot be grouped together this year.

We're in the home stretch now!! May the Force be with you all and I hope you get the panels you want!
