Star Wars Celebration 2027 is sold out. That part is official. The messier part is what happened on the way there. The official Star Wars Celebration ticket page now lists tickets as sold out for the Los Angeles event, which takes place April 1–4, 2027 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. That already made headlines, and we covered the sellout in our earlier piece on how Star Wars Celebration 2027 sold out ahead of the 50th anniversary year. But now the story has a second act: a lot of fans are not just disappointed they missed out. They are angry about the buying experience itself. The Queue Was Not With Everyone According to Gizmodo’s report on the ticket sale, many fans spent hours in the online queue only to come away empty-handed. That is the kind of convention heartbreak that hits differently when the event is tied to Star Wars’…

Star Wars Celebration 2027 Has Already Sold Out
Well, that did not take long. Star Wars Celebration 2027 has officially sold out, with the event’s own ticket page now stating that tickets are no longer available. The convention is set to take place April 1–4, 2027, at the Los Angeles Convention Center, and it is already looking like one of the biggest Star Wars fan events in years. That should not be a huge surprise. Celebration 2027 is not just another convention stop. It lands during the franchise’s 50th anniversary year, with Star Wars heading back into a major theatrical moment, new shows and games in motion, and an extremely online fanbase that can apparently refresh ticket pages faster than a podracer with unpaid debts. A Sold-Out Celebration Before the Hype Really Starts The official Star Wars Celebration ticket page now says tickets are sold out, while the main Star Wars Celebration site thanks fans and tells them…
Star Wars Celebration LA 2027 Starts With a Very Strong Guest List

Hayden Christensen, Ian McDiarmid, Anthony Daniels, Dee Bradley Baker, and Michelle Ang are all heading to Los Angeles next year, giving the event an immediate mix of Skywalker Saga royalty and Lucasfilm Animation favorites. The announcement was confirmed on StarWars.com’s Celebration LA 2027 guest reveal. Anakin, Palpatine, and C-3PO Lead the First Wave The live-action side of the first guest wave is stacked. Hayden Christensen returns to Celebration as one of the franchise’s biggest modern fan-favorites, thanks to his run as Anakin Skywalker in the prequels and his later returns in Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka. Then there is Ian McDiarmid, which means the Emperor himself will be in attendance. Few Star Wars actors can weaponize a smile quite like McDiarmid, and yes,…
Looking Back at Every Star Wars Celebration Ahead of 2027 Ticket Sales
With Star Wars Celebration 2027 tickets going on sale on May 6, this feels like the perfect time to look backward before the fandom charges forward again. We already know the next Celebration is going to be a big one. The event heads to Los Angeles in 2027, and with ticket sales around the corner, the usual mix of excitement, planning, badge stress, hotel panic, and “should we actually do this?” energy is starting to kick in.

But before everyone starts refreshing ticket pages and wrecking their budgets, it is worth taking a step back and remembering just how long and strange the road to Celebration 2027 has actually been.

One Year Ago Today, Star Wars Zero Company Finally Broke Cover
A year ago today, Star Wars finally pulled the tarp off one of its most intriguing game reveals in years. On April 19, 2025, Star Wars Zero Company was officially revealed at Star Wars Celebration Japan, with Lucasfilm and EA dropping the first announce trailer and confirming the game as a single-player turn-based tactics title from Bit Reactor, made in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The official announcement also confirmed releases for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2026. That made the reveal feel important right away. Not just because Star Wars got another new game, but because it got a very specific kind of game. Zero Company was pitched as a gritty Clone Wars-era tactics experience, putting players in command of a ragtag squad during one of the galaxy’s ugliest stretches of war. StarWars.com’s reveal coverage described it as a perspective on the Clone Wars…
The Mandalorian & Grogu and Ahsoka Season 2 Are Clearly Connecting
Lucasfilm may not have dropped a giant timeline chart on stage, but after Star Wars Celebration Japan, the direction feels pretty obvious: The Mandalorian & Grogu and Ahsoka Season 2 are not living in separate corners of the galaxy anymore. That is not a direct line from StarWars.com, but it is the clear read once you put the official Celebration coverage side by side. On the film side, StarWars.com’s official Celebration write-up confirms that The Mandalorian & Grogu hits theaters on May 22, 2026, and brings back Din, Grogu, Zeb Orrelios, and a new character played by Sigourney Weaver. The panel footage also included Din storming an AT-AT and mowing through snowtroopers, which makes it sound a lot bigger and more war-shaped than a simple side quest movie. Then came the Ahsoka panel. According to StarWars.com, Season 2 starts filming the following week, and the panel confirmed some very specific…

Star Wars Celebration 2019 Schedule
If you’re prepping for Star Wars Celebration in just a few more days, you may want to plan your strategy in advance. I know every time I go to a convention, I try to plot out my schedule with the map in advance. Sure, you can just show up and wing it, but places are packed and if you’ve never been there before, it can be disorienting. Any time I’ve tried to wing it, I missed out on stuff I wanted to do because I couldn’t find it, or get there in time. StarWars.com has the FULL panel schedule posted now. You can see everything happening in Chicago on the 13th, and determine what you want to go to and when it’s happening.

SWTOR withdraws from Star Wars Celebration 2 Weeks Prior
With only two more weeks to go, SWTOR has officially pulled out of the Star Wars Celebration, shocking many fans. They will, however, still be attending Gamescon which has a lot of people questioning the motives behind this decision. Players will also be able to play the new warzone at Gamescon which sounds like exciting news for those who get to go. It’s kind of hard to understand why they could not spare the staff to go to Florida but they can go to Germany. Seems like they are saying one event is higher on their priority list than the other. Maybe if they had not laid off so much of their staff (particularly those in the community department) then they would not have to back out of this event. Anyway, it’s a real bummer to the fans but it sounds like it’s officially a sure thing. This thread explains the news:…
