Star Wars Celebration returns to London for 2023
In a Galaxy Not so Far, Far Away, After All, the Star Wars Celebration is set to make a return to London for 2023.
During the closing ceremony of Star Wars Celebration 2022 in Anaheim, California, Lucasfilm revealed that the event would be making a glorious return to Europe in 2023. The return in the following year will mark the celebration’s 7 years of absence, with the event last having been in London in 2016. At that time, the celebration was promoting Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Star Wars Celebration 2023 will coincide with the 40 year anniversary of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, which came out May 25 1983 in the US, and June 2 in the UK.
The next Star Wars Celebration will take place at the ExCel Exhibition Centre and will be open from April 7 to 10.
This year the celebration focused mostly on the release of Disney+’s Obi-Wan Kenobi, bringing back familiar faces such as Ewan McGregor as the titular character, and Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. Both actors were at the event, as well as newcomer Moses Ingram, who plays Inquisitor Reva, a character sworn to track Obi-Wan down.
However there were plenty of updates and reveals too, from the release date of Andor to the reveal of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. By the time the celebration happens in London, The Mandalorian Season 3 will have already aired, leaving us with one question: what comes next? It looks like fans will have to wait until April 2023 to find out.
