A Family Exploring the Worlds of Fandom Together
Welcome to our Star Wars Celebration Coverage!
Star Wars Celebration is where fans from across the galaxy come together to celebrate every era of Star Wars—from groundbreaking new movies and series to the rich legacy of books, comics, and art. We’ve had the privilege of attending most Celebrations in the 2010s—including twice as press—and each one has offered once-in-a-lifetime memories, major announcements, celebrity encounters, immersive exhibits, exclusive merchandise, and the chance to connect with fellow fans.
As we look forward to Star Wars Celebration 2027 in Los Angeles, we’re excited to share highlights, photos, and tips from past events, along with updates and advice to help you make the most of this official Lucasfilm and ReedPop production. Even when we can’t make it, we watch as much live streaming of the con as we can!
Whether you’re a longtime attendee or planning your first journey to the ultimate Star Wars fan event, join us as we relive unforgettable moments and prepare for new adventures in a galaxy far, far away!
Star Wars Celebration Chicago Cosplay Competition If you have been to as many cons as we have, you would know that the best part of any con is seeing other con-goers dressed up.

We are taking the week to prepare for the start of the school year (Thursday!), so we are reposting some of our older blogs. With the announcement that Sarah Michelle Gellar will be attending Star Wars Celebration, I’ve been thinking more about the show lately. It also helps that it’s…
We have attempted to do a podcast for quite a while, but life kept getting in the way. Having the Nola Nerd Baby brought plenty of complications such as pre-partum depression and preeclampsia. We go into detail about that experience, but how our sweet baby was worth it. We also…
Star Wars fans love Celebration. The five day passes for adults and kids have sold out! Saturday tickets as well. We had to go out of town for a family medical emergency, so we are thankful we bought our tickets before we left! Celebration will bring back the stages and…
Our first two days of Star Wars Celebration were spent just getting autographs. It was a tiring, grueling, and often frustrating experience. By Saturday, we needed a break from the long lines and the disorganization (more to come on our podcast comprehensive review of Star Wars Celebration). This also meant we…
We are autograph collectors. Friday is a day we pretty much focused on that. Scheduled for tomorrow: Hayden Christensen Freddie Prinze Jr. Sarah Michelle Gellar Riz Ahmed Steve Blum Venessa Marshall That doesn’t seem like a lot, but three of those rarely do cons. We are expecting long lines. Today,…
The 40th-anniversary panel was amazing according to friends who camped out. The fact that Harrison Ford and John Williams were there put it over the top. We can’t wait to stream it. The STEM/STEAM Star Wars panel was one of the best panels I went to about education at a…
We have our course set for Orlando! Along the way, we discuss the autographs we plan on collecting, the books we plan on buying, and the panels we plan on attending. We give some tips and tricks of how we survived previous Star Wars Celebrations. https://nolanerdcouple.podbean.com/mf/web/riuuvc/swcopreview.mp3
Collectors are a special sort, and Star Wars Collectors are no different. Years of dedication make up the smallest and largest collectors. The Collectors’ stage at Celebration will focus on collecting and will include giveaways. This stage is on the third floor in room W307. Thursday 40 for 40: Highlights…
