Celebrating STAR WARS

Miss out on the 4-Day, Saturday or Friday tickets when they went back on sale last month? Plans have changed and you can no longer go to Celebration and need to sell your tickets? No worries, you can now sign up to the official ticket exchange! As the only official reseller, Lyte is the easiest and safest way for buyers and sellers to exchange tickets. With so much now linked to the email address you purchase tickets on, Lyte is the only way I would recommend buying tickets once they are no longer available directly from the official site.

  Here we go!!! The first guests have finally been announced for Star Wars Celebration 2022 and ReedPOP are opening strong with a trio of beloved actors from across the saga! Anthony Daniels needs no introduction, having played C-3PO in all nine episodes of the Skywalker Saga, as well as in Rogue One , The Clone Wars , Rebels , and pretty much every video game, TV commercial and anything else you can think of! Add in an appearance in Solo  as Tak, and Daniels is the only actor to have appeared in all 11 Star Wars  films. The Emperor himself is coming as Ian McDiarmid returns to Celebration. Ian is another actor to have appeared in all three trilogies, as well as in Rebels , and a firm fan favorite at Celebrations.

The first 25,000 fans in attendance will receive an exclusive Ohtani-Wan Kenobi bobblehead figure.
