Last night Star Wars Celebration revealed a first look at 2025's Pin Trading collection , this year designed by Jerrod Maruyama, with the debut of three Road to Celebration pin sets featuring characters from A New Hope , Revenge of the Sith , and Ahsoka . But that's not all! For the first time ever Star Wars Celebration is introducing badge art pins!

The Road to Celebration Pins will got on sale to ticket holders at 10am (JST) February 26th / 5pm (PT) February 25th. There is a slight discrepancy between the social media post (linked above) which states that the Road to Celebration pins will not be available in the Celebration Store if they sell out during pre-order, ...

  The first pins have been revealed the Road to Celebration begins this week as the first official merchandise from Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023 goes on sale! The official SWC Twitter account revealed the three Road to Celebration pin sets on Saturday and confirmed that all three sets will go on sale to ticket holders this Friday, March. 10, at 9am PT. Though no word yet on if they come with a shirt or not (I expect they will). This year's pin collection features art by Adrian Pontoh and the three Road to Celebration sets are Return of the Jedi , Andor , and The Mandalorian . I'm not familiar with Pontoh's work but I am loving the designs of these pins! Expect more designs to be revealed as we get closer to Celebration. And I can finally say that the Celebration Pin Trading 2023 page has been updated!!

  The popular Star Wars  Celebration Collecting Track returns for Celebration Anaheim. Part of every Celebration since 1999, the Collecting Track features panels by the fans for the fans as some of the hobby's most well known collector's share their knowledge and the stories behind the toys that so many of us love and cherish. Each panel also gives out a free Star Tots pin to attendees at the end, and this year will be no exception! These pins have become incredibly popular with fans and collectors so make sure you attend the panels if you want to get your hands on them.

  The final two Road to Celebration pin sets were revealed and added to the show store last week. Honestly, given how close we are and the fact that nothing as said about additional Road to Celebration releases I had assumed that we were only getting the Attack of the Clones  set this year so these two sets came as a bit of a surprise to me! These two sets feature characters from The Mandalorian  and The Bad Batch , and with them comes the launch of the official site's Pin Trading page , confirming a collection of 54 character pins for Celebration Anaheim. I'm loving Chris Uminga's design work for these pins and can't wait to see how the other characters look! I've added the Road to Celebration sets to the Show Store page and the pins to the Pin Trading page, so you can see everything there.

  Let's be honest, when the Celebration Store first opened virtually in August it was a bit of a let down with an extremely limited selection of merchandise available. There was also talk of the remaining products being released in waves which would have been a nightmare in shipping costs for fans in the US never mind internationally. Thankfully there seems to have been a bit of a rethink and when the Celebration Store returns tomorrow it will have the FULL RANGE of products that would have been in Anaheim this year. Yes, we're talking everything from the traditional badge art shirts and pin collection to plush tauntaun slippers and mudhorn eggs! Like last time, 2020 badge holders will get an exclusive early access period before the store opens up to all fans worldwide. Early access begins tomorrow  at 12 noon (ET) with standard opening following a week later on November 20th at 12 noon (ET). Ticket holders make sure to watch your emails today as you should be receiving an em...
