If you can’t get enough of The Mandalorian, Andor, and all things set in a galaxy far, far away, then you shouldn’t miss the annual Star Wars celebration.
There’s plenty of Star Wars content to look forward to this year, including the upcoming launch of Ahsoka and the rest of The Mandalorian, which is currently rolling out episodes. This event is the place to hear all the latest news and announcements regarding these titles and more.
While Star Wars Celebration will be an in-person event, there’s a way to tune in to panels and news as they happen. Here’s everything you need to know.
When is Star Wars Celebration?
The Star Wars celebration kicks off on Friday April 7, 2023 and ends Monday April 10, 2023. There will be panels and events throughout the four days of the convention.

How to watch the Star Wars Celebration panels
The Star Wars Celebration will take place at the ExCeL in London, UK. If you’re lucky enough to live near there (or have no qualms about going there at short notice), some limited tickets are still available – so you can get all the perks in person from the cons such as showtimes photos, autographs and fans of the meetings.
For those without tickets, fear not. You can follow all the latest news via Star Wars Celebration LIVE! video stream, which will air on the official Star Wars YouTube channel.
We don’t know which panels will be broadcast live specifically, but the event will feature “colorful commentary, surprise celebrities, and exclusive interviews,” so it’s definitely worth watching.
What panels and news will be at Star Wars Celebration?
We’ll almost certainly hear from Ahsoka, as there’s a whole panel dedicated to her – and rumors of a fall release date have been circulating. We might also get an announcement for The Mandalorian season four, and maybe some updates on Andor’s second season.
The Direct has reported rumors of three new Star Wars movies that may be announced. If that were to happen, we’d expect it to be during Lucasfilm’s studio presentation. We can also find out if The Bad Batch is coming back for more.
