Disney has announced the schedule for the upcoming Star Wars Celebration event, which takes place from April 18th 2025 through to Sunday 20th 2025 in Makuhari Messe, Japan.

There will be three main stages at the event, Celebration, Galaxy, and Twin Suns, which will showcase the best of the Star Wars universe. 

• Celebration Stage Schedule, Makuhari Event Hall – The Celebration Stage will shine with bright stars and original entertainment all weekend. The Celebration Stage will present not-to-be-missed productions, intimate conversations, and live events that Star Wars fans will be sure to want to add to their Celebration weekend plans.
• The Galaxy Stage, Hall – The Galaxy Stage is one of two premiere stages for the weekend, along with the Celebration Stage. The best first looks on the big screen are planned, as well as a wide variety of shows featuring the depth and breadth of the Star Wars universe. Catch conversations with the masters, celebrity appearances, and other legendary Star Wars entertainment. Enjoy the pre-show before each session, too.
• Twin Suns Stage, Hall 4 – Celebration’s Twin Suns Stage covers the ins and outs of what goes into creating the Star Wars universe, hosting guests who make it happen for the movies, television, toys, books, comics and more.

Many stars from the films and shows will be in attendance at the event including Oscar Isaac, Rosario Dawson, Hayden Christensen, Manny Jacinto, Mads Mikkelsen and Diego Luna. 

Star Wars fans not in attendance in Japan will be able to keep up with some of the action via a livestream on YouTube, though not every panel will be shown to those at home.

There are major panels scheduled for the Disney+ Original shows, “Andor”, “Ahsoka” and “Visions”, plus one for the upcoming movie, “The Mandalorian And Grogu”.  So we should expect to hear new details about the upcoming new seasons and hopefully a sneak peek at these.
