Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022 - D23 EVENTS
One thing to know about me: I love Star Wars so much. Like, an obsessive amount. I’m not ashamed of it and I celebrate it as much as possible. This unforgettable weekend of force-filled memories was an incredible first venture for me into the world of Star Wars and Events!
In line with Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022, D23 brought a panel participation and the grooviest disco this side of the galaxy to Orange County. The panel was a 35th Anniversary Retrospective Conversation of Star Tours and the immense joy it has brought to the lives of countless fans around the world. Hosted by the iconic Ashley Eckstein (a Star Tours superfan and voice of the legendary Ahsoka Tano), the panel included many of the Imagineers, VFX specialists, and storytellers who have brought Star Tours to life and have continued to adapt it for new stories and new audiences. I was able to be a part of creating the programming for this panel, constructing presentation assets and coordinating Talent participation. We even had a few familiar RX Droids join the party!

And later in the weekend, we threw it back to 1977 with a totally out of this world D23 Galactic Disco Dance Party at House of Blues Anaheim! This incredible colorful cosmic happening boasted hundreds of Star Wars Superfans and Star Wars Creators and Influencers who showed up dressed in their Batuuan-Boogie Best! It was an especially great time for me coordinating a few creators from Droid Builders and the 501st Legion, who brought fan favorite character appearances down like an X-WIng in Dagobah!
