The awesome team behind the Collecting Track at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022 have started to put up the videos of this year’s panels starting with Star Tours at 35: Collectibles from a Kingdom Not Far, Far Away.
Welcome aboard! This panel celebrates and showcases more than three decades of collectibles related to one of the earliest and most beloved collaborations between Lucasfilm and Disney – STAR TOURS. We examine the history of the attraction and highlight some of the unique items from the grand opening and cast member premiere in 1987 before embarking on a journey through a galaxy of STAR TOURS collectibles. The panel provides an in-depth look at theme park merchandise, cast member and crew items, action figures, vehicles, pins, buttons, posters, special event exclusives, and unique ephemera. Autographs from the cast, designers, and special-effects crew are also featured. We conclude by spotlighting some of the panelists’ personal favorites from their collections.
Other panels online include The Art of Star Wars Poster Collecting: 70s to Modern, Collectibles from Star Wars Legend TV Shows, and The History of Kenner’s Rocket Firing Boba Fett. More panels will be added over the coming days — keep an eye on YouTube here.
