Star WarsCelebration is back, with the popular gathering of fans and celebrities alike set to come back in 2022. While the fanbase forStar Warsis a contentious one, there is one important thing that unites us all: We just really loveStar Wars.

Starting back in 1999, the event is where fans of the franchise can come together to celebrate this galaxy we all care deeply for while getting to see some of our favorite stars and meet them. It’s a beautiful time to be a fan of theStar Warsfranchise.

The event has now shifted dates. According to the website, the event has moved from an August date to a May date to help celebrate safely with fans. “In order to provide the best fan experience possible, and after further consideration with our hotel and venue teams, we have made the decision to adjust the dates forStar WarsCelebration Anaheim 2022 from August 18-21 2022, to May 26-29, 2022. These new dates will provide fans with more incredible offerings to enjoy atStar WarsCelebration!”

The team behindStar WarsCelebration is doing a good job of being accommodating to the switch. If you had tickets to Celebration and can now no longer attend, they are willing to offer ticket refunds and adjust accordingly. But it is nice to know that fans of theStar Warsuniverse can soon get together to celebrate. Big events likeStar WarsCelebration were canceled in 2020 due to COVID restrictions and concerns. Without events like San Diego Comic-Con and New York Comic-Con, we were meeting virtually to celebrate our favorite franchises. It was fun but it wasn’t the same as being surrounded by other fans and getting to share our excitement for these properties.

There is still nothing set talent-wise, as we’re over a year out from the actual celebration, but the team behind Celebration is working hard to make sure hotels are set and that those who have tickets are ready to go. We all love the galaxy far far away and this shift just brings that excitement to a boil. We’re going to be together again and all yelling about how much we loveStar Warswhen the event returns next year.
