Another Celebration is in the books and we had some great reveals. If you paid attention this past weekend then you probably know everything I will cover in this Star Wars Celebration Japan recap. If you didn’t, then keep reading.

On second thought, if you did pay attention, please read it anyway and post anything I left out.

Sadly, I did not go to the actual event. It just wasn’t an affordable trip for me, however, I did watch several of the interviews and kept tabs on my favorite Star Wars content creators who were there.

Star Wars Celebration 2025 Japan

Star Wars Celebration 2025 in Japan is this weekend, and I’m feeling pretty excited. I wish I could be there because Japan would be a fun country to visit, but my pocketbook just couldn’t justify it. There are a lot of projects in the works right now, and I hope we will get some updates on them. Hopefully, it’s more than just the immediate projects we already know are coming (i.e. Andor Season 2, which starts next week on the 22nd).

I hope we get some update on the second and, I assume, final season of Ahsoka. Maybe even a teaser trailer?? I’m pretty sure the Mandalorian & Grogu movie is in post-production, so maybe we will get a teaser of that as well. It would be great if they laid out the release schedule of all the films and shows we know are coming.

I’m not expecting them to announce anything new. The focus is probably going to be primarily on Andor Season 2.

You can count on the fact that I will share any trailers and announcements right here. Granted, it is Easter weekend, so I will be a little busy, especially on Sunday, but I will do my best to stay up to date.

What projects are you excited to hear about?

Star Wars Celebration Announcements

The Star Wars Celebration in London kicked off today and here are a few of the announcements and details about upcoming series and movies. I wish I were there but England is an expensive trip to make. All of these details came from the Live broadcast on the Star Wars YouTube channel.

Before I get into all the Star Wars details, let’s quickly cover the non-Star Wars IP that was discussed. Of course, I’m referring to the next Indiana Jones movie and the unveiling of the newest trailer. During an interview with director James Mangold he tells us that John Williams, at 91 years old, did compose the entire score. The man is a legend.

My Chicago Star Wars Celebration Experience

By

On April 22, 2019

In Geek Culture, Star Wars

I have been looking forward to the Star Wars Celebration for two reasons. First, the last one I went to was 2002, when it was in Indianapolis for the release of Attack of the Clones. Second, its in Chicago this year, my favorite city. Ultimately the best part of the going to the event was bringing my five-year old daughter. This is my Chicago Star Wars Celebration experience.

I don’t think I need to go into the big news. Everyone who cares should already be aware of the release of the first trailer and the title. I did not get to sit in on the panels since I only had a day to absorb as much as I could while keeping a five-year-old entertained.

A Little Leia Changes the Experience

When I went back in 2002 I was just this nerd wandering around the convention center taking pictures and getting autographs. I seemed convinced my experience would be the same except now my daughter would have to endure it. I was completely and utterly wrong! She dressed up as Princess Leia, and apparently a five-year old Leia is as popular as a celebrity. (Sorry, pictures will only be available for friends and family).

This is all the free stuff she got

She was constantly receiving free stuff from vendors and random fans, including fans from other countries. She was getting requests to be photographed or to be in a picture with other people attending the convention. As shy as she comes off, I think she secretly enjoyed the adoration. I cannot express how humbling and amazing the Star Wars fans were at this convention and it really made my daughter feel special. If this experience doesn’t make her a Star Wars fan, then I’ve done all I can do.
