CJ25 Star Wars Celebration (social thread)

Congratulations @Obi Anne

 

Yes, most warm congratulations!

 

@ChrisLyne spent his Celebration budget on a roof because heaven forbid a little water get in the house...

 

The Acolyte hit a milestone today with the announcement of the start of filming and primary cast announcement:

However, given that CE Europe is now less than six months away I’m not sure if they will have much a presence there besides maybe some BTS pictures if they do something similar to this years Showcase.

 

We got an Ahsoka teaser after they'd only been shooting for like three weeks.

 

I really hope we get to see something from Acolyte. I think a teaser isn't an unreasonable expectation but I think cast appearance may depend on where they are up to with filming. Like the Ahsoka cast came for the Mando panel but they were filming just down the road from Anaheim.

 

And The Acolyte is filming in *checks notes* London.

 

Wasn't sure if it was LA or London. Guess it just depends on if they are still filming at that point (easy to get the cast) or if they have done and cast are back in the US (in which case they might just bring over Amandla Stenberg).

 

Just FYI, they are showing the first two episodes of Andor on two major cable networks here in the US during a major holiday weekend coming up. So they're definitely trying to reach a much wider audience with the show.

 

Just saw that on TFN Main. Hopefully they will do something similar for UK folks.

 

The show is amazing. It's a shame viewership isn't great and they're having to go to these tactics.

 

Considering how well it was received, I'm sure there will be something Andor-related. And bit of a Rogue One flashback with the fan stuff - gathering at the Canary Warf station.

 

I saw a couple episodes of Anor and it was dark and spooky! it looked well made.

 

Good luck!!

 

This is definitely one of the more welcoming and civil places to discuss current Star Wars, so I'd say being a moderator here is a positive to have helped keep it that way.

 

Allowing @ChrisLyne to continue posting is a clear negative though.

 

With friends like these....

 

With the new year now here, Celebration feels closer than ever. Very excited to experience it in person for the first time.

 

Hi
Apologies as this is my first post here, just some questions about celebration from anyone who's been?

How early should you arrive? My ticket is 3rd party so I'm aware that I won't be able to do lotteries but will that affect guests?

Thanks
