What is Star Wars Celebration?

Posted on April 15, 2025April 15, 2025 by ljcool110

As we continue our common Star Wars questions series, today we answer the question, what is Star Wars Celebration? We hope you enjoy this informative series here from Star Wars Fans and may the force be with you!

Star Wars Celebration is the official fan convention dedicated to the Star Wars franchise. Organized by Disney and Lucasfilm, Star Wars Celebration is a massive event that brings together fans, creators, actors, and industry professionals to celebrate all things Star Wars. It features major announcements, exclusive previews, celebrity panels, merchandise, cosplay, fan events, and immersive experiences tied to the beloved saga.

Star Wars Celebration began in 1999 to promote the release of The Phantom Menace. Since then, the event has grown into a regular occurrence, sometimes annual or biannual, hosted in various cities across the United States and internationally. 10 of the 14 events have been held in the USA with Tokyo, Japan hosting Star Wars Celebration 2025.

What Happens at Star Wars Celebration?

Star Wars Celebration typically includes:

  • Panels and Q&As with actors, directors, and producers

  • Reveals of new content, including films, TV series, video games, books, and collectibles

  • Exclusive trailers and footage for upcoming Star Wars projects

  • Cosplay competitions and fan showcases

  • Merchandise booths, including exclusive Celebration-only collectibles

  • Autograph and photo sessions with Star Wars actors and creators

  • Exhibitions showcasing props, costumes, and artwork from the Star Wars universe

 

International Expansion of Star Wars Celebration

While the majority of the events have been in the United States, the Celebration has increasingly ventured internationally. European cities like London and Essen have hosted, and Japan is set to host in 2025 — only the second time it’s been held in Asia (the first being Celebration Japan in 2008, Tokyo).

The Community and Cultural Impact of Star Wars Celebration

What is Star Wars Celebration? Wars Celebration isn’t just a convention — it’s a pilgrimage for fans. For many, it’s a deeply emotional and communal experience. It’s a place where new content is first shared with fans, where creators connect directly with the community, and where the legacy of Star Wars continues to grow across generations.

The event has helped maintain and expand the relevance of the franchise, especially during off-movie years, by hyping up animated series, books, games, and the highly successful Disney+ era with shows like The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, and The Bad Batch. In addition, with several new Star Wars movies in the works, it allows the franchise to highlight and tease new movies, shows and animated series to fans across the globe.
