Why Covering Star Wars Celebration Matters to Us

Covering Star Wars Celebration is the equivalent of making it to the Super Bowl for us.

At Nola Nerd Couple, we’ve spent years exploring the worlds of fandom as a family. From comic cons to fan conventions across the U.S. and beyond, we’ve built a platform dedicated to sharing authentic, family-focused coverage. Among all the events we attend, Star Wars Celebration holds a special place in our hearts. Covering Star Wars Celebration is the equivalent of making it to the Super Bowl for us.

Star Wars Celebration isn’t just another convention—it’s a gathering of fans, creators, and storytellers that embodies the magic of the Star Wars universe. It’s where the community comes together to celebrate the stories and characters we love, and we’re honored to be part of it.

A Unique Approach

When we cover Star Wars Celebration, our mission is clear: to highlight the unique, often-overlooked aspects of the event. While major Star Wars news outlets focus on breaking announcements and exclusive interviews, we take a different approach.

Our coverage is centered on:

• Family-Friendly Perspectives: As a family-focused blog, we provide tips and insights to help families navigate the event, from cosplay schedules to kid-friendly activities.
• Niche Panels: From Japanese Star Wars paper cutting to deep dives into Star Wars lore, we spotlight the panels that showcase the creativity and diversity of the fandom.
• Fan Stories: We love hearing from fans about how they discovered Star Wars, what inspires their passion, and how it’s shaped their lives. These stories are the heart of the celebration.

Connecting with the Star Wars Community

One of the most rewarding aspects of Star Wars Celebration is the opportunity to connect with fans. Whether it’s sharing origin stories, exploring cosplay designs, or simply geeking out together, the sense of community is unparalleled.

If you see us at the event, don’t hesitate to say hello! We’d love to hear your Star Wars story—and we might even feature it in our coverage.

As much as we enjoy sharing our own experiences, we also love listening to others. Armed with a trusty Zoom recorder, we’re hoping to collect and share some of the incredible stories that make Star Wars Celebration so special.

Whether it’s the thrill of walking across the show floor, the joy of meeting your favorite Star Wars creators, or the quiet moments of playing a Star Wars game with your loved ones, every Celebration is filled with memories that last a lifetime.

For us, these moments have included:

• Meeting legendary Star Wars authors and getting books signed for our collection (and for the Nola Nerd Baby!).
