It’s that time of the year – Star Wars time. In my husband’s eyes, it’s the most important time of the year. Like the Rebel Alliance, Star Wars Celebration doesn’t have a permanent home. Instead, it travels around the world to avoid Imperial detection — and to bring Star Wars to as many fans as possible. Thankfully, for the second time in a row Star Wars Celebration is being hosted by Orlando (last event was in 2010) so Charles is happy that he can make it this year.
Star Wars Celebration brings fans of all ages together, from all points of the globe, to celebrate the pop-culture phenomenon that is Star Wars. Whether it’s young fans of Star Wars: The Clone Wars or die-hards fueled by the nostalgia for the original Star Wars trilogy; curious, casual followers; gamers, readers, costumers or collectors — there’s something for everyone at Celebration.
Both hardcore and casual fans will gather to have fun while celebrating their passion for all things Star Wars, discovering what’s new, and being the first to see what’s next. It’s four fun-filled days of exhibits, a vibrant, interactive show floor, screenings, exclusive merchandise, celebrity guests, panels, autograph sessions, fan-inspired activities, and other surprises.
Star Wars Celebration delivers a landmark experience where memories are made, families brought together, old friends reunited, and new friendships formed — all in the setting of the ever-evolving Star Wars universe.
Special guests this year include the Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, plus lots of other stars.
Other fun family events include:
- Jedi training sessions
- A special Disney ticket package (Details TBD)
- Kid-friendly laser tag
- “Family Room” activities including:
- Jawa Painting with a custom-made jawa character to take home
- Building challenges that encourage children to to recycle and repurpose household materials
- A family-focused game show with “Jedi Eddy” akin to the popular show “Let’s Make a Deal”
- Plenty of sightings of characters from the Star Wars Saga
- Familiar faces include Anthony Daniels as C-3PO, and Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca

Last Day! 
I saw a couple of bloggers post about it! I wonder if your husband really did spend a lot of time there. It’s a cool event!
My husband was there from 10-6 (closes at 7) every day Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Sunday he was only there from 10-5 when it was over. He is obsessed with Star Wars so I’m sure all hard core fans spent their days there. I couldn’t do it but he had fun
I think I would get lot there!
Confession time: I have never watched any of the Star Wars movies all the way through. I have tried numerous times over the years, but just can’t seem to get into it. Hubs really digs it though!
Oh boy! I’m glad my hubby is not I to star wars lol!
We’re big Star Wars fans here! (especially my hubby and son)
I just want to see what they all look like NOW (aging).

Oh, sweet I love all the Star Wars Movies and know when fans get together it is an awesome time!
How fun, Jake used to be super into Star Wars. I’ve always liked it, not an all out fanatic, but a fan.
For some reason I could never get into star wars or star trek.
If we lived closer I know that we would go to this every year.
One of my all time favorite movie series.
Looks like it will be a lot of fun. My 6 year old would love it!
