"Even at this early stage, this Celebration is shaping up to be really big – maybe bigger than any of our previous events," said Steve Sansweet, Lucasfilm's Head of Fan Relations. "We are still months away from Celebration V and we are already seeing an enormous amount of interest and enthusiasm from vendors and exhibitors, which is pretty unprecedented so far out. With such a varied slate of amazing vendors from all parts of the pop culture world, fans, families, and attendees are going to be in for a real treat."

Star Wars Celebration is the official Lucasfilm convention celebrating all things Star Wars. The Celebrations are the biggest Star Wars events held, allowing friends and families to gather to have fun and celebrate their love of the Saga. From fans who first experienced A New Hope in theaters to kids just discovering Star Wars through Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Celebration touches on anything and everything connected with that galaxy far, far away. The producers promise more interactive events than ever at Celebration V. Celebrity guests will sign in the Star Wars Celebration Autograph area as well as make presentations. The annual Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge prizes will be awarded and there will be a chance for budding filmmakers to get tips from more experienced ones. Star Wars Celebration V will feature scores of crowd-pleasing events that can be found only at an official Star Wars convention. To receive up-to-the-minute information on guest announcements and special events taking place this year, fans are encouraged to sign up for the official Star Wars Celebration newsletter at http://www.starwarscelebration.com/newsletter.
