Star Wars Celebration: Funko Exclusives

Many exclusives will tie in to the 20th anniversary of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace

Fan conventions are unique opportunities to get together with fellow enthusiasts to celebrate our favourite movies and TV shows, interact with people who helped make them a reality, and buy exclusive merchandise to commemorate the occasion. George Lucas created one of the world’s biggest franchises, which in turn inspired one of the largest fandoms. Star Wars Celebration (SWC) launched 20 years ago and has been held in cities around the world.
