Guest and event announcements for Star Wars Celebration 2017 in Orlando will begin soon at StarWarsCelebration.com and StarWars.com. This year’s Star Wars Celebration is taking place at London’s ExCel Centre, July 15-17. While next year’sStar WarsCelebration will be all aboutStar Wars: Episode VIII, this year’s big event will haveRogue One: A Star Wars Storyas it’s centerpiece. And it is expected that we will see the second trailer at that time.
Last year’s bigStar WarsCelebration took place in the home of Disneyland, Anaheim, California. Over 50,000 descended up the event for an exclusive look atStar Wars: The Force Awakens. A brand new trailer was shown to a sold-out crowd, and the event welcomed such iconicStar Warsstars asMark Hamill,Carrie FisherandHarrison Ford. Much of the event was live streamed so those unable to make it to Anaheim could watch along. There’s no telling what kind of surprises are in store for this July and Next April. So stay tuned as more details break over the next year. And May the Froce be with you!
