Star Wars Celebration Chicago

Hey everyone! Katie here!     It's been about a week since Star Wars Celebration Chicago ended and it's time for me put up a blog post summarizing the amazing weekend! This was my first experience with Star Wars Celebration and with conventions in general and it didn't disappoint! I had such a wonderful time and it was even better then I was expecting! Getting a Media Badge was such a blessing and surprise and I couldn't be more thankful for it!           Panels    Unfortunately, our train was late Friday morning and we did miss the Episode Nine panel, but we were able to watch a good part of the live stream which was awesome! The trailer was absolutely incredible and filled me with so many emotions, I'm not normally the kind of person who cries over movies but I have to admit I teared up at the end. I cannot wait to see what J.J. Abrams has been working on alongside such an incredible cast!     Even if the Sequel trilogy hasn't always been my favorite

Star Wars Celebration Day Three (Sunday)

Hey Everyone! Katie here!     Today was incredible, I met a couple people, found some amazing cosplayers, bought some super cool stuff, and went to an incredible panel!   When we first got in this morning we decided to get in line for the Celebration store and we got through the line fairly quickly! There was tons of cool exclusive merch in the store and I picked up two plushies and got a picture with the massive loth-wolf in the store! "Dume" I bought a white loth-wolf for myself and a Vulpex for Cailey!   After the Celebration store, we headed over to the HerUniverse booth where I picked up one of my favorite shirts from the Sisters of The Force collection, the Rey shirt! The shirt has one of my absolute favorite Star Wars quotes. The belonging you seek is not behind you, but ahead.     Next, we walked around a bit and then headed over to Wintrust arena to watch Alan Tudyk's panel and wait for the Clone Wars Sneak Peak! Alan's panel was great

Star Wars Celebration Day One (Friday)

Hey everyone! Katie here!     Time to tell you all about yesterday! We are currently waiting in line for the Rebels panel, and since we will be here for so long I figured I'd put up a blog post summarizing yesterday!     We came on the train yesterday, and unfortunately, it was two hours late and we missed Episode Nine (Rise of Skywalker) panel along with the Skytalkers Podcast panel but we made it to the Schmoedown panel which was so fun! After that, we wondered the convention floor and had a blast exploring different booths and meeting different cosplayers! We saw the Star Wars Mural and so many other cool things! Then we hung around the Star Wars Show stage and stood less than fifteen feet from people like Kelly Marie Tran, J.J. Abrams, and Kathleen Kennady! It was awesome!! Part of the Beautiful Mural!                                                                                                                 One of my favorite Legends characters, Revan!!
