Unfortunately we have some bittersweet news to share today. After months of speculation from fans, it has now been officially confirmed that Star Wars Celebration Anaheim has been canceled, and has been rescheduled for 2022.
The news comes as we are many months into dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic that has swept the globe and resulted in the postponement and cancellation of countless other conventions and public events. Star Wars Celebration Anaheim had been scheduled to be held at the Anaheim Convention Center in August of this year, but the ongoing threat of the pandemic has led the convention being pushed back two years to August 18-21, 2022 at the same venue.
