Once again there doesn’t seem much at all in anything on the Original Trilogy (other than merch & collectors, + cosplay etc)

I hope anyone who has gone there has a great time - and there is obviously much more to the Star Wars Celebrations than just the Panels… 👍

If anyone has any other info, content or videos from the panels or their Celebration 2025 experiences etc please post them up!

Star Wars Celebration 2027 takes place in LA - from the Thursday 1st to Sunday 4th April; at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

It should be a big event - and may even feature some actual Original Trilogy content… given it’ll be the 50th anniversary.

Once again no news about the Original Original Trilogy. But thanks for the wrap up anyway.

Can you believe Star Wars is 50 in 2027, I remember the 30th like it was yesterday we got the Rinzler book and no film.
