Revenge of the 5th: Here are all virtual 'Star Wars' events to celebrate the epic from the comfort of your home
It's the second day of the two-day virtual 'Star Wars' convention, hosted by ReedPop, and the popularly titled 'Revenge of the 5th' is in full swing. Several events have been planned to celebrate the two 'Star Wars' days internationally. In light of various canceled events, conventions have organized online quizzes, video game livestreams, round table interviews and online livetweets for all your favorite 'Star Wars' properties.
The morning has already seen three events go by — Florida Supercon's livetweet of 'Revenge of the Sith' took place at 9 AM ET, followed by Dicebreaker's livestream of their playing a Tabletop Roleplaying 'Star Wars' game — the Scum & Villainy RPG. On Facebook, the New York Comic Con hosted a comics roundtable with Charles Soule, Kieron Gillen, Jody Houser and Grek Pak, hosted by Sam Maggs.
Up next is a livetweet of 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' with the New York Comic Con. Join fans online as they rewatch the climactic end to the Skywalker Saga, available on Disney+
At 7 PM ET, Florica Supercon will be hosting a livestream play of 'Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.' Finally, Emerald City Comic Con will be hosting the final official livetweet of the day with 'Solo: A Star Wars Story'.
The day ends with a Facebook Q&A with the man responsible for some of the cutest moments of the 'Star Wars' sequel series — Brian Herring, the puppeteer behind BB-8 & the Porgs. You can check out the live Q&A on Florida Supercon's Facebook at 5:30 PM EST.
With the coronavirus lockdown, all conventions' regular plans to celebrate the franchise have been effectively canceled, and conventions have been working to find a way to bring the fans together online, uniting the fandom for tales from a galaxy far, far away. Those interested in being a part of the events can join in with the #Revengeofthe5th tag on social media, and check out the full schedule here.
There are also quizzes, games, and a collection of fans sharing their favorite franchise moments beneath the hashtag.
You can check out Supercon's collection of 'Star Wars' quizzes here, and, of course, rewatch the entire Disney+ 'Star Wars' collection — including the entire Skywalker Saga, 'The Mandalorian,' the recently completed 'The Clone Wars,' and more!
