Celebration III Badges

Every fan who attends Star Wars Celebration III this April 21-24, 2005 at the Indiana Convention Center will be required to wear an admission badge. Far from just a requirement, however, these admission badges are colorful, coveted collectibles unique to the show.
Badges for attendees will feature iconic Star Wars characters, a different character for each day of the show plus a Darth Vader image for the 4-Day badge. The kids' badges* may be the most fun of all, with Clone Wars cartoon images that correspond to the characters on the adult badges.

Imperial symbols on each badge will serve as hole punch markers for the Celebration III action figure, a Darth Vader who speaks phrases recorded by actor James Earl Jones exclusively for the toy. The figures are available in limited quantities, and the Celebration Store staff will punch badges, one punch for each figure purchased. Those with 4-day badges may purchase a total of 4 action figures, while supplies last. Those with 1-day badges may purchase 1 action figure, while supplies last.

Fans and collectors who are wondering how they can possibly get their hands on a full set of these badges will be happy to know that complete sets can be ordered during the event at the Celebration Store. The sets, which will also include exhibitor, VIP, volunteer badges and more, will be shipped after the show. Watch for coming details on Celebration III collectible badge sets on starwars.com and starwarscelebration.com.

Those who want to save valuable time at Celebration III can order their admission badge online and have it shipped to them before the show. The deadline for ordering shipped badges is March 4, 2005. Those ordering after that date can pick up their badges at Will Call or buy them at the show doors. Register online at starwarscelebration.com.

*Kids' badges are for kids 12 years and younger. Kids under 6 are admitted to Celebration III free, but are still required to wear a badge. Parents should take their kids under 6 to the registration or Will Call area at the show to receive their free badges.
