Star Wars Celebration 2025 Dates And Location Set

As the launch bay door closed on Star Wars Celebration 2023, Disney’s Jedi Council announced the timing and location of the gathering’s next installment. Fans and talent will next get together and celebrate a galaxy far, far away in a year that may itself seem far away at this point: 2025.

While jumping over a 2024 edition of the wildly popular gathering might at first seem odd, it makes a bit more sense when one considers there is no big-screen outing from the franchise scheduled for next year. In March, Deadline reported that December 19, 2025 is the planned theatrical release slot for the next film set in the Star Wars universe.

The 24-year-old event, typically held in the U.S. or the UK, took place in Japan one other time, in 2008. The gathering was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic.
