Star Wars Celebration 2022: Event Wrap-Up
Sideshow attended Star Wars™ Celebration from May May 26-29, 2022, broadcasting LIVE from Anaheim, California, in a custom-built exhibition. During booth tours we showcased some of our latest Star Wars™ collectibles, plus products from Hot Toys, Iron Studios, New Zealand Mint, and more.
But that’s not all! Over the course of the weekend, Sideshow conducted interviews, led viewers through the convention floor, and kept our virtual audience feeling just as involved from home. And although the celebration may be over, we’re never done celebrating a galaxy far, far away. Dive into our event wrap-up below to relive all the fun.
