But Lucasfilm wants to make it up to fans who will be disappointed by this news! Keep reading to find out how what options guests who’ve already bought tickets have to choose from in terms of ticket transfers and refunds.

If you’ve already bought tickets for this year’s event, you have a couple different options. You may transfer your tickets to the new event dates or receive a full refund. You can also choose to receive a credit for the cost of your tickets which you can then use towards Star Wars Celebration merchandise. But there’s some extra-incentive to transfer your tickets ’cause you’ll get this cool Stormtrooper character pin if you do!

The ticket refund and merchandise credit request period will open on Monday, June 22nd, and must be completed by August 26th, 2020. Additionally, if you’ve booked a hotel in the official room block through our housing portal, your reservation will automatically be canceled.
