Yes, we are starting back up our weekly Star Wars features. We had to take a break due to Mrs. Nola Nerd Couple’s complicated pregnancy (which you can read about here and here). She and baby are fine, and we plan on bringing you as much information about Celebration and Star Wars in general as we can!
Star Wars Celebration 2019 has been announced, and its location is a new one: Chicago, Illinois. It will be held in the West Building at McCormick Place. Not only is it in a new city, but it will also be five days this year! For those of you who are not sure what Celebration is, it’s just that – a celebration of Star Wars. It’s a comic con but only for Star Wars. ReedPOP, along with LucasFilm, put on this event as a thank you to fans. It serves as an excellent way for Star Wars fans to meet people who were in the movies and that write the books and comics. It’s also a great way for Star Wars fans to get together. (You can read about past Star Wars Celebration coverage here and all of our Star Wars related posts here).

We have tried every year to get this elusive item, but have come up short every year.
BUT NOT THIS YEAR!
Mrs. Nola Nerd was able to get one! She’s going as a VIP! Of course, she is beyond excited. Plans are already being made. Plus it is our first time in Chicago, so we plan on staying a few extra days!
May the force be with you, my friends and see you in Chicago!
