Are you excited to see the new trailer for STAR WARS expected to debut this week at Star Wars Celebration? Disappointed that you won't be in Anaheim? Fear not! StarWars.com will be live streaming the entire convention online for free!
The event kicks off Thursday, April 16th with a panel featuring STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS director J.J. Abrams and LucasFilm head Kathleen Kennedy. It is widely expected that it will be at this panel where the new trailer will debut. Through the weekend, there will be more panels featuring stars like Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, Ian McDiarmid, Anthony Daniels, and more from the classic films and animated series. Another panel will feature director Josh Trank and STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE filmmaker Gareth Edwards as they discuss their upcoming spin-off films. We will get first looks at the new Star Wars: Battlefront video game as well as more exclusives coming our way from the STAR WARS universe. In all, the website will be streaming 30 hours of footage from Star Wars Celebration through Sunday, April 19th.
All together, this will be an exciting event that will hopefully give us a look at the STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS trailer two weeks before it is set to premiere in front of AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON. At the very least we will be getting to see new STAR WARS related interviews and clips we would otherwise not get a chance to see until after the end of the convention. You can expect us to share these with you right here on this site as they become available.
STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS hits theaters on December 18th.
