Celebrating STAR WARS

If you're heading to Celebration from the UK and you haven't booked your flights yet, make sure you check out United ASAP! I just got return flights (including baggage - important to watch for since this new "Basic Economy" has been added and most of the cheap flights no longer include a hold bag) direct from London Heathrow to Chicago O'Hara for less than £370!! I was planning on flying from Manchester but the savings (especially for a group of 4) far outweighed the extra cost of flying from London. No idea how long this rate will last for so make sure you check it out now! I know I've not done a Preparation post for a few weeks now (sorry, life got a little crazy) but I'll make sure I get back on those soon. May the Force be with you.

"This is where the fun begins!" The wait is over! Today The Star Wars Show officially announced that Star Wars Celebration 2019 would be held at McCormick Place, Chicago. But that's not all! Celebration 2019 will be the first ever five day Celebration!

Make sure you head on over to the official Celebration website and sign up for hotel alerts right now to make sure you get the best possible room rates when they become available. Ticket prices are still to be announced but we should hear more very soon as they are set to go on sale Tuesday June 5th at noon CST. Mark that date in your diary because if you want Jedi Master badges then you'll need to be there the instant they go on sale and have Han Solo's legendary luck on your side. For now though, just relax and wa...

It's hard to be believe that this time last year it was the final day of Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017. If you were lucky enough to be there or if, like me, you attended via the Star Wars Show's live stream, it was an incredible weekend that celebrated 40 years of this incredible saga, looking back at what had come before, paying tribute to those we've lost, and looking towards the future. Celebration Orlando gave us our first look at Battlefront II , the announcement that season 4 of Rebels would be the last and, of course, that iconic teaser for The Last Jedi with Luke proclaiming that it's time for the Jedi to end. Now, Battlefront II is out, the journey of our Rebels heroes is over (at least for now), and we know that Luke will not be The Last Jedi . If you're like me, then you're like Luke, "still looking to the horizon".  Looking forward to what comes next.  Next, obviously, is Solo .  I must admit, this was the one I was...
