Valid Star Wars Celebration admission tickets are required to attend a celebrity photo op or autograph for the specific day.

EX: If you have a photo op for Saturday, you will need to have a Star Wars Celebration admission ticket that allows you at the event on Saturday (Saturday Adult, Saturday Kids, 3-Day, 3-Day Kids, or Jedi Master VIP)

Autograph Info

We encourage you to pre-purchase Autographs as sessions can sell out quickly and ATM lines can be long at the show.

Only Select Autographs are available for presale. If you notice someone you want to get an Autograph from does not have Autographs available (and it doesn’t say SOLD OUT on Hollycon x Epic Photo Ops’ website) that means those Autographs will only be available to purchase onsite at Star Wars Celebration Japan at that specific guest’s Autographing table.

Need to change the day of your Autograph? Here’s how: using the email address you used to purchase Autograph tickets with, create an account here. After logging in, you can make changes to existing tickets such as change the day or group if sessions are not sold out.

Photo Op Info

Individuals per Photo Op: You are welcome to have up to 4 individuals per Photo Op ticket (this limit does not apply to the talent or children 3 years and younger) unless otherwise noted on the talent sales page. This limit may change at any time, so please check back regularly.

For your comfort we have implemented a "group" system much like the zone system used in airports. Select Photo Ops are subdivided into 10-minute sessions per group - ex. Group 1 starts at 5:00 PM, Group 2 at 5:10 PM, Group 3 at 5:20 PM, etc. This allows you to only arrive a few minutes before your group's start time rather than wait an hour or more.

FAQs

Photo Ops and Autographs are offered for the celebrity guests listed on the Epic Photo Op page. As new celebrities are announced, their photo ops and autograph selections will become available immediately. 

Please read from our frequently asked questions to help understand what each type of selection includes before you make your purchase.

Photo Ops are a very quick process to provide you with a high quality, professional photo of you and your fave celebrity. These are NOT meet and greets. You can't ask for an autograph or hug and will not be able to give the guest a present (that's what Autograph signings are for). You will be brought into the photo booth, given the prompt "Ready?" by the photographer, and the photographer will snap the photo. You will need to exit the booth immediately following your photo. The whole process will take a few seconds. Photo Op times are limited so this ensures that every fan in line will be able to get their photo. Your Professional photo will be printed and available for pick up once your Photo is taken. 

A Photo Op Team Up or Duo is a paired photo op with more than one celebrity guest. For example: In the “Ahsoka Team Up” you and up to 3 other guests will be taking a photo with Rosario Dawson and Ashley Eckstein. 

Please note: Team Ups are only available for the celebrity guests that have that option. 

We ask that you arrive between 5 and 15 minutes prior to your photo op. Once the line moves, it moves very quickly and often those that arrive closest to the session time wait the least amount of time. Lining up more than 15 minutes prior to your photo op will result in security asking you to leave the area until it is time for your photo op.

Yes, a ticket to Star Wars Celebration Japan for the day you are purchasing a Photo or Autograph for is required.  Please ensure you purchase an admissions ticket prior to purchasing any photo ops. If you purchase a Photo Op or Autograph without purchasing an admission ticket, in the case that the event is sold out, we will not be offering refunds for missed Photo Ops or Autographs.

The best way to avoid missing out is to purchase your photo ops online prior to the show. If you wait to purchase your photo op onsite, then you run the risk of it being sold out.

If you are late arriving and the Guest has already departed, you will have forfeited your photo op and will not receive a refund.  If you miss your photo op, you will also not receive a refund.

If you no longer wish to obtain a photo with a guest, you can exchange your ticket for another guest, providing the photo session has not already started. Photo Op and Autograph refunds will be available up to 7 days prior to the start of the event. Please reach out directly to the Epic Photo Ops team https://support.epic.leapevent.tech/s/contactsupport

Absolutely.  You may purchase additional print copies and/or JPEGs when you buy online or onsite for an extra $10 each.

Please email [email protected] with the name of the event and the number on your receipt, and someone will confirm your email address with you.

You should receive the printed photo and/or the digital copy if you purchased it within minutes after your Photo Op. 

Personal cameras are strictly prohibited in the Photo Op area.

Please do not bring gifts for the guests during their Photo Ops.  This creates delays while they hand off the gifts to someone else. As a general rule of thumb, it is recommended that fans do not present guests with gifts as they often do not have space to fit the gifts into their luggage or they can’t bring the gifts home with them. Gifts of food and/or beverage are strictly prohibited.

Note: Certain celebrity guests will have different autographing options to select from. Please look through the options for each celebrity and check here for additional details on what those selections include.

    • Please note: the selfie cannot be printed by our team onsite.

  • Quotes and Character Name add-ons:  

    • These add-ons are only included on select celebrity guest autographs. Some celebrity guests may have limited quantity for each. If the celebrity guest you are getting an autograph from includes these add-on options, here are the details:
