Celebration IV will be the fourth celebration of the Star Wars saga. It will be held in Los Angeles, California from May 24 to May 28, 2007, and will be primarily to celebrate the 30th anniversary of  A New Hope, the original Star Wars film which debuted on May 25, 1977.

On February 16, 2006, StarWars.com posted an article hinting at a Celebration IV. Up until that point, such an event had been only fan speculation. This announcement by the official site led fans to believe that Lucasflim might be in the planning stages at that point.

During a question and answer session at the 2006 Star Wars Disney Weekends, Rick McCallum confirmed that there will be a Celebration IV in 2007 as fans had expected.

Concurrent with the previous rumor, on May 26, 2006, StarWars.com officially confirmed that there will be a Celebration IV, and that it will be in Los Angeles, California from May 24 to May 28 of 2007.

At the 2006 Comic-Con, Steve Sansweet stated that footage from the 3D Clone Wars cartoon will be shown at Celebration IV.

Tickets for the event went on sale at approximately 12:00 PM PST on October 30, 2006, with online pre-registration available till March 31, 2007.

Official Pix will again be in charge of the Star Wars celebrity autographs, likely with more guests than the previous Celebration (which had 41).
