  Last weekend adult tickets for Saturday officially sold out! There's a little discrepancy on when the sell out actually occurred, with  Star Wars  Celebration Japan officially announcing it on Sunday, May 12, but fans online were reporting that the ticket site began listing them as sold out the day before. Normally tickets can go in and out of stock whilst the last few are in peoples' carts but given the length of this delay I'd say it's more likely tickets did sell out on Saturday and the delay in reporting is simply due to the sell out happening on a weekend. Either way, Saturday is now sold out and Friday is well on the way to being next.

  I forgot how stressful that walking man is! Yes, tickets to Star Wars  Celebration Japan are now on sale! You can get yours here! The queue is still taking a while to get through but at the time of writing this everything except VIP is still available. Though 3 day tickets are reportedly going in and out of stock so will likely be sold out soon. Fortunately the difference between the 3-day badge and the single days is only around $8 this year which is much better than previous events. Jedi Master VIP badges officially sold out in 34 minutes, according to the queue updates. I hope you were able to get the tickets you wanted! Hopefully I'll see you in Japan! UPDATED After VIP badges sold out it wasn't long before adult 3-day badges joined them, officially selling out in 2 hours 55 minutes according to the official Twitter feed.

  Hello there! Well, that was a littler earlier than expected! Last night Star Wars  Celebration revealed the key art for Japan 2025 and announced that tickets for the highly anticipated event would go on sale Thursday, May 2, at 19:00 EST (US) / Friday, May 3, at 08:00 JST (Japan). Debuting the key art  StarWars.com  revealed that it was created using the traditional Japanese sumi-e style of blank ink painting. The artwork blends together the iconography of Star Wars  with that of Japan itself, with Mount Fuji centered in Japan's Rising Sun flag, framed by TIE Fighters, X-wings, and AT-ATs, with Darth Vader in the foreground and swirls of black ink extending from the Sith Lord to form the branches of cherry blossom trees. When tickets go on sale (as near to May 4th as possible) they will cost $168.85 for a 3-Day adult badge and $42.35 for a 3-Day child badge. Single day badges will also be available at $58.85 each for adults and $20.35 for children. There ...
