After a two-year delay, Star Wars Celebration returns on Thursday. The 2022 iteration of Lucasfilm’s fan event will offer a peek at projects coming to our galaxy in the near future — like Disney Plus series Andor and Ahsoka — and those that are still far, far away, like season 3 of The Mandalorian. Star Wars video game fans may also get a peek at in-development projects, like the sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, but none of that is guaranteed. There’s no dedicated games panel, and much of what Lucasfilm and its partners plan to reveal at Star Wars Celebration is still a mystery.
The good news is that you can watch the action (some of it, anyway) without having to physically attend Star Wars Celebration 2022 in Anaheim, California. This year’s Celebration will stream some panels on YouTube and on the official Star Wars website, starting on May 26 and running through May 29.
Here are some of the highlights to watch out for:
Lucasfilm’s Studio Showcase — 11 a.m. PDT — 12:30 p.m. PDT
Star Wars Celebration promises a “must-see showcase” that will include appearances from “Lucasfilm’s current crop of live-action filmmakers will be joined by special guests to discuss the many Star Wars adventures coming soon, including Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor, and The Mandalorian.”
If there’s any chance of seeing something new from the above-mentioned series, Ahsoka, The Acolyte, Lando, or Taika Waititi’s untitled Star Wars film, it’s here. Note that the official Star Wars Celebration 2022 YouTube livestream doesn’t start until after the Lucasfilm studio showcase ends.
