For a few moments, it feels as if the whole world is at Star Wars Celebration. As a crowd of 4,500 people, myself among them, spill out of the largest room of ExCeL London like meat out of a burrito, we collide with all the other Star Wars fans traveling around the vast building. It doesn’t feel vast now. There are so many people it’s impossible to move. Jedis jostle with stormtroopers, who bump into Boba Fetts. We are rubbing up against one another so closely we might start a fire — which, given the amount of painted fabric being worn, would cause a sudden and steep drop in the world’s population of Disney+ subscribers.
