Star Wars Celebration: Sharing the Saga with Friends and (Found) Family

“You changed your hair.”

We’re in a restaurant, one we may have been in before, maybe a new one. We’re in a city few of us live in and even fewer of us find occasion to visit. The food is fried and familiar, the drinks cold and crisp. Just like last time.

I brush my fingers through my close-cropped brunette mop and shrug. “Same jacket.”

They tug at their lapels and grin. “No, new jacket.”

Few things bring people together like Star Wars. And nothing proves this more than Star Wars Celebration.

Sure, there are other conventions, other events that bring people together. But Star Wars Celebration feels like more. It feels like a homecoming. Whether it’s your first time or fourteenth time, you immediately feel at home. I
