We're not done with Star Wars news coming from Celebration in Chicago, as there are a few little details that need a spotlight.

Namely, the return of Ian McDiarmid as Emperor Palpatine during the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker […]

Star Wars Celebration Chicago has just wrapped up, and the event has revealed they will be headed back to Anaheim in 2020.

While taking a spin on the Star Wars Celebration Chicago floor, we swung into the Galaxy's Edge experience and took a peak at some of the things that will await park guests when they attend the themed lands in Disneyland and Disney World this year.

We are pretty damn excited to learn more about the upcoming Disney+ Star Wars television series from Jon Favreau– The Mandalorian. We got our "first look" at the official logo during the Disney Investor's Day presentation earlier this week, and it was just enough to boost those hype tanks. Today, there is a full panel at Star […]

True Star Wars fans know who Wilrow Hood is, hero of Cloud City who can be seen running in the background of Empire Strikes Back clutching his trusty ice cream maker. He has become a favorite for many cosplayers and fans, and a big part of the Star Wars Celebration festivities with the "Running of the Wilrow […]

We're three days into Star Wars Celebration Chicago and it's time to talk theme parks. The arena was packed full of people ready to learn about the two theme parks that are opening up later this year and with this panel came the reminder that we are being sold to. Perhaps this is a personal […]

Earlier today, we shared with you the reveals from Hasbro's Star Wars Celebration panel. We also had the opportunity to tour their booth and speak to two members of the Hasbro Star Wars Design Team, Patrick Schneider (Senior Brand Manager and really funny dude), and Sam Smith (Design Manager, very knowledgeable, not the singer) about […]

Today during Star Wars: Celebration, Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts revealed the trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

Habro held their Star Wars Celebration panel yesterday afternoon, where they revealed their summer slate of Black Series, Vintage Collection, and exclusives that collectors will be gobbling up until The Rise of Skywalker toys hit in the fall.

A […]

Star Wars Celebration kicked off today in Chicago, bringing together fans from across the known universe to celebrate their love of the galaxy far, far away.

ANOVOS, high-end costume and prop maker mostly known for their Star Wars products, is in hot water yet again from collectors and the cosplay community.

We are terribly excited for Jon Favreau's Star Wars series for Disney+, and the more we hear about The Mandalorian, the more we feel he was the right choice.

We could be mere days away from learning a bit more about Star Wars: Episode IX, which will not only mark JJ Abrams' return to the galaxy far, far way but the end of the Skywalker saga (as we know it). Abrams of course directed Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and stepped in to take over […]

That moment you realize you need a bigger shelf to display ALL of Beeline Creative's Star Wars-themed Geeki Tikis offerings, and possibly a bigger suitcase to bring things home from Star Wars Celebration Chicago because of them. Seriously though, the Celebration exclusives this year are just too perfect, and we can't decide which thing we […]
