Last year was the year of Star Trek, celebrating 50 years of going where no man (no one) had gone before. This year, however, is shaping up to be the year of Star Wars, celebrating four galactic decades, beginning with the huge success of Rogue One (coming home April 4!) and culminating in the release of Episode VIII, The Last Jedi. Star Wars Celebration kicks off the festivities in grand style in Orlando this April. Is a Blu-ray of George Lucas’ ORIGINAL seminal classic far behind?
A very special tribute to the 40th anniversary of Star Wars will kick start Celebration Orlando in grand fashion. The Star Wars 40th anniversary panel, hosted by Warwick Davis and set for Thursday, April 13, will feature Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and discussions with some of the saga’s brightest stars. It promises to highlight the impact of the galaxy far, far away and the fandom that has propelled it for the last four decades; this marquee Celebration event will undoubtedly include many not-to-be-missed surprises. So set hyperspace coordinates accordingly…
Star Wars Celebration Orlando will take place April 13-16 at the Orange County Convention Center. Visit starwarscelebration.com for tickets and more info!
And to further stoke fan fervor, Lucasfilm dropped this awesome poster, that pulls the entire saga together — or, as Obi Wan would say, “it binds the galaxy together.”
