Description:
In this second episode of Adventures Assemble, I’m just three weeks away from boarding a plane to Tokyo for Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025—and wow, there’s still a LOT to figure out.

Join me as I talk through the panel reservation madness, what’s been announced so far, and my thoughts on all things Star Wars—from the original trilogy to the Disney+ shows (spoiler: I still haven’t finished Ahsoka). I also share a rough outline of my Japan trip plans, my fears about traveling solo, and a list of things I probably should’ve booked by now.

This episode is for fans who love Star Wars, fellow nerd travelers figuring it out as they go, and anyone wondering just how chaotic convention planning can get when you’re winging it across the Pacific.

In This Episode:

• My honest takes on Star Wars movies and shows (yes, even the prequels)
• Which panels I’m hoping to reserve—and why Andor is my #1 pick
• What I’m actually doing in Japan beyond Celebration (spoiler: eating egg salad and petting deer)
• How I feel about going solo, not speaking fluent Japanese, and still making it work
• Early plans for Akihabara, Osaka, Kyoto, and Expo 2025
• A peek into future episodes and nerdy travel dreams (hello, Halfling Marathon)

Mentioned:

• Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025 Panel Schedule
• Tokyo travel prep chaos
• My Millennium Falcon Metal Earth model (pray for me)
• My undying love for Andor
• Yomiuri Giants baseball tickets ✅
