Yesterday we reported that Disney had announced that the 2015 Star Wars Weekends would have a “Galactic Gathering” package, similar to 2014’s “Rebels” package. The “Galactic Gathering” will be held on 5/14/15 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and tickets to this event are $250 per guest. We learned yesterday that Gathering ticket holders will receive a special MagicBand, trading pin, lanyard and popcorn bucket as a part of their package.
Today the merchandise catalog for the “Galactic Gathering” was released online and it includes several of the items for general public purchase. The catalog shows us that there will be a random selection process and a pre-order option on select items. We are assuming the random selection items will be available to all SWW guests in Darths Mall.

They will be available in Tote&Wrislet (200 issued retail $448); Shopper Tote (retail $278); Letter Carrier (retail $198); and Wristlet ($98).
