Image
  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.

Celebration Basics - Budget, Budget, Budget

Image
There's no way around this, Star Wars Celebration is expensive. So, unless you've got a camtono of beskar lying around, you're going to need to budget. It's certainly possible to have an absolutely fantastic time at Celebration without spending anything on top of your tickets, hotel, transport, and food costs, but if you're planning on buying any of the exclusive merchandise or getting an autograph or photo with your favorite Star Wars celebrity then the costs can add up real quick. My best advice here is to start saving as soon as you can, even a little a month will soon add up, and the sooner you start saving, the more prepared you'll be. The Essentials There are basically four essentials for  Star Wars  Celebration. Your Tickets The good news is at this point your Celebration badges are likely bought and paid for, so that's one expense you don't have to worry about anymore. Your Travel Unless you're traveling locally or waiting for a last minute...

Celebration Store Revealed for 2023

Image
  These are the exclusives you're looking for! Today Star Wars  Celebration has revealed all of the exclusive merchandise you will only be able to find in the official Celebration Store in London! Well, almost all! We still haven't seen the full pin collection for this year. This year's offerings are broken down into three collections - Key Art & Logo (including some gorgeous badge art shirts), Return of the Jedi  40th Anniversary, and the Legacy/Saga collection. There's a few fun novelties, but the shirts are definitely where it's at this year. That Grogu Squid and Chips shirt will definitely be coming home with me, along with a few of the badge art shirts (gutted there's no Chopper but the Luke and Vader are musts!) Hope you find something that catches your eye! I've updated the Show Store 2023 page with everything revealed today, and remember you can see all the vendor exclusives on this page as well.

Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023 Updates

Image
  Hey all, just a little bit of an update post to catch up a few things. This Thursday Sunday tickets once again sold out, leaving only a limited number of Friday and Monday tickets available (for sold out ticket types you can still go through the  Lyte Ticket Exchange ). Badges are currently going out (and they look just as nice in hand!). We still have nearly two weeks to go so if you haven't received yours yet please don't panic. However, if you are travelling and they don't arrive in time it has been confirmed you can simply go to Will Call/Fan Services with your order confirmation and they will be able to issue you with replacement badges so there's no need to worry. When you do get your badges, badge activation is now live. So you can follow this link to activate them. Again, don't worry if you can't do it until you get there, they don't need to be activated in advance. Also live now is the official Star Wars  Celebration Europe 2023 mobile app, which...

Panel Selection & Lightspeed Lane Guide 2023

Image
  Hey everyone, sorry for the delay on this piece, it was my last week at my current job this week so time kinda got away from me. Lots of changes this year so lets break down everything you need to know about Panel Selections, Lightspeed Lanes, and more! PANELS There will be at 2 types of panel entry at Celebration Europe this year. The online Panel Selection (lottery) and good, old fashioned, queuing. Barring any late announcements nearer the time, it looks like the daily Lightspeed Lane Reservation system for Galaxy and Twin Suns Stages is out this year. Panel Selection (Lottery) Entry to the five biggest panels of Star Wars  Celebration will once again be determined by an online lottery. Entry to the online selection process began on March 14 and will close on Tuesday, March 21, at 11:59PM GMT. Selection is random and the time you enter has no impact on your chances of being selected for panel entry. Entry to the lottery will be at  this site  and is via the emai...

Hasbro Black Series Exclusive Announced for Star Wars Celebration Europe

Image
  We have our first Celebration exclusive! During their livestream last week, the Hasbro team revealed the Revenge of the Jedi  Darth Vader that will be available exclusively at Star Wars  Celebration Europe this Easter. Taking inspiration from the original Revenge of the Jedi poster this Vader figure features the red tinted color scheme of the poster and comes in exclusive Revenge of the Jedi  packaging featuring a removable version of the poster that inspired the figure. No word yet on how this figure will be distributed (2019 exclusives were handled via lottery) but it will be available on site unlike last year's pre-order. I've added the figure to the Celebration Vendor Exclusives 2023 page. Hopefully we'll learn more of the exclusives in store for us soon!

More Celebration Anaheim Exclusives Revealed

Image
  It's one week until Star Wars Celebration Anaheim! Man it feels good to say that! The exclusives have been trickling out for a while now but yesterday the official site revealed even more. There's a lot of shared exclusives or first-to-market early releases this year, but there's still a few items that are exclusive purely to Celebration, including a really nice three book signed box set of The High Republic  series. Other exclusives include a replica of the Grand Inquisitor's rank pin from EFX., a Lladro porcelain figure of Darth Vader, and some gorgeous artwork from Thomas Kinkade Studios. This year some of the exclusives you'd expect to find on the show floor (like the Del Rey High Republic set) are actually in the Celebration Store. So make sure you check out both my Show Store and Vendor Exclusives pages to see them all.

Celebration Store Merchandise Revealed!

  Earlier tonight StarWars.com  revealed our first look at some of the exclusive items that will be available to purchase in the Celebration Store next week! There was the usual assortment of tees, featuring the location badge art, character portraits, and the usual assortment of fun shirts like Dex's Dinner and Grogu's Bistro. Attack of the Clones  is well represented with Clone pattern shirts and jackets, plus this nice Jango Fett weatherbreaker: And, of course, it wouldn't be Celebration without some plushes and just crazy off the wall stuff you wouldn't find anywhere else. This year we have a Frog Lady plush, a Dex's Diner Neon Sign, a Camtono Cooler Bag, and more! The ABC collection is also back, with this year's designs by Karen Hallion.
