Star Wars Celebration Schedule has been revealed

Lucasfilm have revealed the full line up of panels for Star Wars Celebration 2025 and a good number of them will be streamed online for those unable to attend in person.
We have grouped them, so if you only care about Star Wars games or Star Wars books, you can find them easy. Each of the times have been converted to AEST, to make it easier for you. The times in JST are just one hour earlier, so something at 11am AEST will be 10am JST.
The show will be streamed on the official Star Wars YouTube Channel, but the exact line up won’t be confirmed until later. In between the panels though, expect to see around the event and with companies like Bandai, Lego, Hasbro and HotToys, there will be a good look at things you can play with. There will also be countless artists like Akinobu Hara, Malcolm Tween and Ksenia Zelentsova offering up new art pieces for attendees to buy and of course, much more.
