Celebrity guests confirmed for Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025

A Jedi Knight-turned-Sith Lord and an ace pilot-turned-space mom are headed to Star Wars Celebration Japan in the final wave of autograph guests.

This is where the fun begins as Hayden Christensen, who first portrayed Anakin Skywalker as the young Jedi apprentice in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, joins in the festivities. Christensen reprised his role in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, and more recently in Star Wars: Ahsoka, reuniting with his own former student Ahsoka Tano.

And from the celebrated cast of Star Wars Rebels, the voice of rebel hero and Ghost captain Hera Syndulla, Vanessa Marshall, will also attend.

Star Wars Celebration Badge Art - final reveal

Star Wars Celebration badges have provided a distinct opportunity to present a broad range of Star Wars characters with a unique artistic vision, a tradition stretching back to the first Celebration in 1999. While the badges are, of course, necessary to enter Star Wars Celebration’s doors, they often become prized keepsakes long after the excitement of new friends, rare moments, and first reveals have receded into memory.

With Star Wars Celebration Japan quickly approaching, StarWars.com can now reveal the full set of 17 character art pieces that will be presented on the event badges, masterfully illustrated in the ukiyo-e style — a tradition of Japanese art that thrived in the 17th to 19th centuries — by Japanese artist TAKUMI. These beautifully stylized renderings of characters from across the Star Wars galaxy now include nine new additions revealed here for the first time: Osha Aniseya, Leia Organa, Rey / Kylo Ren, Master Sol / the Stranger, Obi-Wan Kenobi / Anakin Skywalker, Cassian Andor, Kai Brightstar / Nubs, and Mon Mothma.

These newest pieces complete the set of TAKUMI’s stunning badge artwork including previously announced pieces: beautifully stylized renderings of R2-D2 / C-3PO, Queen Amidala, Sabine Wren, and Asajj Ventress, and brand-new art of Ahsoka Tano, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Yoda, and The Mandalorian with Grogu.

For all other Star Wars badge art pieces, you can find it HERE.
I recommend you take a peek, it will be worth it.
