Star Wars Celebration 2022 Is Happening Sooner Than Expected
Disney and Lucasfilm are bringing back Star Wars Celebration to Anaheim, California next year.
Rejoice, force users. Star Wars Celebration will be returning sooner than previously expected. Originally, the event was scheduled to take place last year but, due to health and safety concerns, Disney and Lucasfilm were forced to cancel it. Instead, they opted to return in August 2022 with an in-person convention. Now, they have opted to move the event forward a few months from August to May of next year.
The announcement was made via the event s official website and social media accounts. When the 2020 Star Wars Celebration was canceled, Lucasfilm announced that it would return August 18 through 22 in Anaheim, California. Instead, fans will be welcomed back to the convention floor in just over a year. An update from the event s official website reads as follows.

The closest analogue is what Marvel, another Disney property, has done with its own Cinematic Universe. When
Iron Man first debuted, the idea of a greater continuity was kept to a minimum, as plans for future movies were still uncertain. But as the universe grew, more attention was paid to how things would tie together, leading up to the first
Avengers movie. A lot of fixes were made along the way like making Loki’s staff one of the Infinity Stones but it largely holds together, mostly because it’s not so tightly interwoven. You don’t have to have seen

In December 2016, the world lost an icon, with Carrie Fisher passing away at the age of 60. But her legacy lives, and obviously that includes a continually-growing fanbase for her most famous character, Princess Leia Organa from the
Star Wars franchise. Well, it looks like we can count Fisherâs grandson among that fanbase, as Billie Lourd, Fisherâs daughter, shared a picture of her son watching the actressâ debut as Leia. Anyone elseâs eyes getting a little watery?
