Full Panel Schedule and Live Stream Announced for Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025

Image
  This is where the fun begins!! Last night the official site was updated with the full panel schedule for Star Wars  Celebration Japan and StarWars.com confirmed that the  Star Wars  Celebration LIVE! Stage will once again be returning to the show floor and streaming online for those at home. Below are the details for all of the panels on the three main stages but make sure you check out the full schedule as there is so much more going on throughout the weekend from droid races to podcasts, and fan panels to Saber Guild performances. 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. Interestingly the hosts f...

Collecting Track Returns with New Giveaways for 2025

Image
  Part of Star Wars Celebration from the beginning, the Collecting Track is  returning once more in Japan! And this time they have a brand new giveaway to replace their popular Star Tots pins. This year fans attending Collecting Track panels will receive a free acrylic stand figure after every panel. Inspired by the Japanese Popy World Hero boxed figures from 1980 these stand figures will also come with an acrylic box and display stand able to display the figure in front of or inside the box. There will be 14 stand figures to collect, and the only way to collect them all is to attend all of the panels on the collecting track. Here are the panels that fans can enjoy this year: The PBP First Shots Find Star Wars Coins & Medallions Very Origin of Japanese Collectibles 1978 How the Star Wars  Collecting Age Began Japanese Vintage Toy Oddities Homemade Star Wars Crafts: Tips and Tricks The Colorful World of Vintage Keshi Gomu (Rubber Erasers) GET!!

Star Wars Celebration Announces Main Panels and Reservation System

Image
  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 ...

Panels Announced for Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022

Image
  The schedule is live!! Last night the moment we've all been waiting for finally happened as the panel schedule was officially revealed. It looks like there's a few surprises (like the main Friday morning panel) still to come but so many amazing panels were revealed last night! The official site led the way with the schedule for the 3 main stages whilst the Panels page of the Celebration site was updated to include everything from podcasts to STEAM classes. From major reveals and Q&As with the stars, to lightsaber demonstrations, podcasts, and kids activities, there is so much to take in and something for every fan. There's even a panel for a previously unannounced series of animated shorts, Tales of the Jedi ! To help make sense of it all (because the official site layout isn't the best for seeing how things line up and overlap) I've created a spreadsheet showing every panel announced so far, along with all the extra activities and fan events we know about s...
