Star Wars Celebration 2019 is finally here, taking place in Chicago from April 11-15, and we have a guide to all the panels and how to watch them live - to make sure you don't miss a thing. Disney has been carefully keeping Star Wars 9 under wraps, with only a half-second of footage from the movie seen so far (and that half-second only shown to audiences at CinemaCon). However, with an entire fan event dedicated to everything Star Wars, we can expect to see the first trailer, poster, and other major reveals.
While it's obviously the main attraction, Star Wars: Episode IX isn't the only part of the franchise that will be promoted at Star Wars Celebration 2019. There's also highly-anticipated TV show The Mandalorian, which will debut on new streaming service Disney+ along with a new season of The Clone Wars, upcoming video game Jedi: Fallen Order, VR experience Vader Immortal, season 2 of Star Wars Resistance, and details about new Disney Parks attraction Galaxy's Edge.

There's a lot to look forward to if you're a Star Wars fan, so whether you're attending Star Wars Celebration in person or just planning to watch the panels online, here's what you need to know.
How to Watch Star Wars Celebration 2019 Live
Both StarWars.com and the official Star Wars YouTube page will livestream Celebration panels, along with interviews and segments from the show floor, as part of The Star Wars Show LIVE. The show will be hosted by Andi Gutierrez and Anthony Carboni. If you miss out on watching them live, videos from each of the panels are usually uploaded to the Star Wars YouTube channel the next day, and you can also find videos of smaller panels that aren't featured on the main livestream on the channel as well.
