Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2020

UPDATE: All 4-Day pass sold out in about an hour! Star Wars fever is high! Even though Star Wars Celebration Anaheim is 432 days away, tickets for the Star Wars mega-con went on sale this morning. Most were in queue for longer than usual which reinforces the ideas that despite what some about Disney's take over of the franchise, Star Wars is as popular as ever with fans!

In shock to no one, the $900 Jedi Master [...]
