Since the first Celebration in 1999, there have been panels about Star Wars collecting. Over time this has grown into the Collecting Track, a Celebration institution, featuring panels about all corners of the collecting world and even Collecting Track collectibles! Kara wanted to dig into the topic during this anniversary month and there was no one better to talk to than Gus Lopez, who has been there since the very beginning. They discuss the history of the Collecting Track, how it's grown and expanded over the years, and what makes it so integral to the spirit of Celebration.

Check out the Collecting Track on Facebook to stay up to date before Japan and see some classic moments (https://www.facebook.com/groups/SWCollectingTrack/)
