Meet the artist, TAKUMI, and see the full set of 17 characters, including Leia Organa, Rey and Kylo Ren, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, Cassian Andor, Mon Mothma, and more!
Star Wars Celebration badges have provided a distinct opportunity to present a broad range of Star Wars characters with a unique artistic vision, a tradition stretching back to the first Celebration in 1999. While the badges are, of course, necessary to enter Star Wars Celebration’s doors, they often become prized keepsakes long after the excitement of new friends, rare moments, and first reveals have receded into memory.
With Star Wars Celebration Japan quickly approaching, StarWars.com can now reveal the full set of 17 character art pieces that will be presented on the event badges, masterfully illustrated in the ukiyo-e style — a tradition of Japanese art that thrived in the 17th to 19th centuries — by Japanese artist TAKUMI. These beautifully stylized renderings of characters from across the Star Wars galaxy now include nine new additions revealed here for the first time: Osha Aniseya, Leia Organa, Rey / Kylo Ren, Master Sol / the Stranger, Obi-Wan Kenobi / Anakin Skywalker, Cassian Andor, Kai Brightstar / Nubs, and Mon Mothma.
