  The Tennessee Star Wars Collector's Club is hosting a Meet-Up and SWAG event for all fans attending Star Wars Celebration. Taking place on Saturday, April 19, at the Makuhari Messenger this free event is open to everyone, not just members of the Tennessee Collector's Club so feel free to go along, make friends, and trade SWAG. The meet-up is set for 4PM but the exact location is still to be confirmed so keep an eye on their event page for the latest updates.

  It's the traditional fan club SWAG trade! Taking place on Friday, April 18, members of the seven fan groups (501st, Rebel Legion, Mandalorian Mercs, Saber Guild, Dark Empire, Droid Builders, and Galactic Academy) are welcome to gather together at the TKP Tokyo Bay Makuharui Hall 1F ("Cote d'Azur") for a free SWAG trading event. This is a chance to trade patches, pins and more with fellow group members from around the world as everyone comes together at Celebration. The SWAG trade will be open from 7PM-10PM. Please note that this event is for members only and is not open to the general public. More details can be found here .

  The SWAG Crew is back and better than ever for Star Wars  Celebration Japan with a new website that is the perfect resource for learning all about SWAG and helping you to create your own. Fan made SWAG (stuff we all get/stuff we all give) is one of the nicest things to receive at Star Wars Celebration.

It's that personal touch that makes the fan SWAG so special. Want to get involved and make your own SWAG? The SWAG Crew Facebook page  is still here with a brilliant community who are more than ready to help you take your first steps into a larger fan world. But for anyone new to SWAG you simply have to check out their new website ! From the history of the SWAG crew to everything you need to know about making your own.
