Produced by Lucasfilm in association with Reedpop, the event in London follows the success of Star Wars Celebration 2022, which was held in California last month (May 2022).

The 2022 celebration featured an impressive line-up of panel sessions and celebrity guests, including Billie Lourd, Ewan McGregor and Pedro Pascal – as well as bringing together generations of fans of the beloved franchise.

That wasn’t all, as Lucasfilm and Disney+ announced a new wave of Star Wars series at the event, which are expected to launch on the streaming service over the next year.

These included a third series of hit show The Mandalorian, as well as a new spin off about Cassian Andor.

Over six years after Cassian Andor was introduced onscreen in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the new Andor TV series is set to launch on Disney+ on August 31, 2022.

Billed as a ‘rousing spy thriller’, the series will once again star Diego Luna in the role, as it follows the Rebel Alliance’s mission to restore hope to the Galaxy.

With all this and more at Star Wars Celebration 2022, it can be expected that the highly anticipated 2023 event is sure to be just as exciting for fans.

The Star Wars Celebration will be held at Excel London from April 7-10, 2023, with tickets on sale from June 30, 2022.
