It’s officially happening—I'm just two weeks away from heading to Japan for Star Wars Celebration 2025! In this episode, I talk through everything I’ve got planned so far (and everything I still need to figure out). From panel reservations that didn’t go my way to plotting late-night food tours in Tokyo, the itinerary is finally starting to come together. I’m excited, overwhelmed, and trying to figure it all out as I go. Come along for the chaos!

Show Notes:

• My failed attempt at getting into the big Star Wars Celebration panels
• Why Andor is still one of my all-time favorite Star Wars stories
• My plan for surviving jet lag without… actually planning for it
• Tokyo adventures: izakaya crawls, sake tastings, and my upcoming baseball game at the Tokyo Dome
• Trying to choose between staying in Osaka or Kyoto (or both?)
• Why Hiroshima is a must-visit on this trip
• Real talk: I’m not a travel expert, but I’m learning along the way
• Updates on the podcast and YouTube channel—yes, I’m bringing my mic to Japan!
• What I still need to lock down (hotels, trains, tours... oh my)
