Today we received news from Lucasfilm and Reed Exhibitions that Star Wars Celebration V is finally dated! Not only that but tickets go on sale soon!

This year’s Celebration will celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars : Episode V The Empire Strikes Back.

Star Wars Celebration V will take place on August 12-15, 2010 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. The official website is up and gives details as well as the official Twitter and Facebook page.

Tickets will go on sale starting Thursday, December 10. They tend to sell out fast. I went to a previous celebration and had a BLAST. It’s a must-con for Star Wars fans young and old.

“We’re going to have a blast commemorating the 30th anniversary of fan-favorite The Empire Strikes Back as we welcome an entire new generation of fans watching our animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” said Steve Sansweet, Lucasfilm’s head of Fan Relations. “There’s no doubt that Star Wars Celebration V in Orlando will be the ‘must attend’ event for Star Wars fans of all ages and from all parts of the galaxy,” he added. “We’re also very excited to launch our partnership with Reed PopGroup, which has shown great expertise in running large, fun-filled events that satisfy fans, show participants, and exhibitors. We’re expecting the biggest and best Celebration to date.”
