Star Wars Celebration Japan announced their final set of badges and guests in advance of the April convention. We are discussing all the announcements in this week’s news.
There was not a lot of official Star Wars news this week, but the final set of badges and guests for Star Wars Celebration Japan were announced on StarWars.com. In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we geek out over the art by TAKUMI for the badges and pick out our favorites (but, seriously, they are all so good). Next, we look at what StarWars.com called the “final” guest announcements for Star Wars Celebration. If this is indeed final, we are wondering if there are fewer guests than usual for Celebration and what Celebration might look like. Finally, we have fun trying to convert Yen to the US Dollar as we figure out what autographs and photo ops are going for this year.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- The final eight badges released for Star Wars Celebration Japan and an examination of the art,
- Which badge we would choose if given a choice,
- The final guest announcements for Star Wars Celebration,
- What the cost for autographs and photo ops are for Celebration after converting Yen to the US dollar,
- The feeling that there aren’t as many guests for the Celebration as there are for Star Wars Celebration events held in the United States at Europe, and
- Some speculation on what we might expect at Star Wars Celebration.
