Disney had to shut the door on 2023’s Star Wars Celebration. But with that being out of the way, the forces have announced the next time they’ll be celebrating the franchise. So, in a galaxy far, far away, fans and celebrities from the franchise will come together and rejoice in the name of the force. The next Celebration will happen in 2025, sounds a bit too far, doesn’t it?
Star Wars Celebration In Japan
Celebration cinema movies and so much more await fans in Japan. What an interesting choice to hold the next Star Wars Celebration. What’s more fascinating is that Disney has completely overlooked the year 2024 as a potential candidate. But it’s not all that bewildering if you think it through. There are absolutely no Star Wars movies planned in the coming years. It would be ideal to take a short break for this very reason.
Japanese fans are always known for taking things one step further with their cosplays and conventions. This time, disney+ japan has brought everyone to Central Tokyo, home of one of Japan’s biggest convention centers.
Nicely placed in the Makuhari Messe district, this convention center will welcome thousands of fans from all over the world on the 18th of April 2025. The celebration will go on until the 20th of April.
Would it surprise you if we were to say the 2025 edition is not the first time Disney has picked Japan as its host? Back in 2008, Japan hosted another Star Wars Celebration. It’s outlandish but in the best way because usually, fans in the U.K. and the U.S. get to host the celebration. Imagine not having London hotels to stay in this time around. Perhaps this time, a cool little sleeping pod at a Japanese hotel can be fans’ mainstay.
Thanks to everyone’s favorite, COVID-19, the fan-gathering was called off in 2020. So the next time you get to go, know that it’s been five years since then. Hopefully, Pedro Pascal shows up and lightens up everyone’s mood at the convention.
