Streaming Content

Booth Tours

Sideshow is bringing tons of Star Wars collectibles to the show. Join our hosts as they walk you through incredible Premium Format™ Figures, life-size figures, designer collectible toys, and more. We’ll go live from various social platforms throughout the event as we highlight these pieces. Tune in LIVE at 8 AM PT every morning for the full virtual booth tour experience.

Unsealed and Revealed

Unsealed and Revealed is the most in-depth look you can get at the newest sixth scale figures. From Hot Toys and Sideshow originals to Mondo and more, Unsealed and Revealed offers an up-close, detailed look at each piece from a variety of angles. You’ll be able to see the full figure, its many accessories, any swap-outs or exclusive editions, and the full range of motion and articulation.

On Tuesday, May 24, at 10 AM PT we’ll be taking a closer look at a special Star Wars figure. Tune in LIVE to see which one!

Artist Interviews

In the days leading up to Star Wars Celebration, as well as during the convention itself, we’ll interview artists and designers who have made Star Wars art and collectibles. Our first interview is with Jesse Hernandez AKA Urban Aztec. Alongside Unruly Industries, Jesse created the Boba Fett™ and Darth Vader™ Designer Collectible Busts that infuse Indigenous culture with pop culture. Tune in on Wednesday, May 25, at 2 PM PT as he answers questions about his life and creative process.

The other interviewees are yet to be announced! Make sure to follow our social media for updates about artist discussions right from the show floor.

Sideshow At Star Wars Celebration

Sideshow At Star Wars Celebration is a hybrid show — half con floor footage, half virtual hosting! During this desk show, our hosts will introduce segments from the show floor. These could be interviews, recordings, or anything else we want to show you that day. Then the audience and hosts can discuss the convention, plus play games like trivia in between videos.

For anyone not attending IRL, this is the perfect opportunity to get as close as you can to Star Wars Celebration. Watch every day from Thursday through Sunday on YouTube at 5 PM PT.

Game Shows

Bingo

Bingo is a classic game of chance. Players are given cards with a number grid, and they must try to obtain a full row or pattern of numbers as they are called by the host. Sideshow’s Bingo is an updated, virtual experience. Show up on Monday, May 23, when we go live at 12 PM PT for a chance to play and a chance to “Bingo!” your way into some sweet Sideshow Rewards.

Trivial Cahoots

It wouldn’t be Star Wars Celebration without a deep dive into the Temple records! Join for Trivial Cahoots, a game where the audience gets to participate LIVE. You’ll answer between 15-20 trivia questions using a mobile device as your buzzer. Correct answers will be reviewed by the Council. Winners get Sideshow Rewards for their account as well as bragging rights (but may not be granted the rank of Master).

Trivial Cahoots will happen on Tuesday, May 24, at 2 PM PT and Wednesday, May 25, at 11 AM PT. Join us and test your knowledge!
