If you’re a Star Wars fan, then today is practically Christmas. Star Wars Celebration, the annual expo dedicated exclusively to all things strong in the Force, kicks off today in London and will run for the entire weekend. For all of those lucky enough to be in attendance I hate you there’s a slew of really cool panels to check out and events to attend. Not to mention just mingling with all the cosplayers and fans of arguably the most popular movie franchise in history.
And while us unfortunate folks stuck on the other side of the world will be missing out on a lot of that, the folks at Lucasfilm has been so kind as to live-stream all of the panels both on StarWars.com as well as their Youtube channel. How swell of them!
You may recall that Lucasfilm did the same last year, but focusing their efforts on promoting Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It was also during one of these panels that we got our first look at Rogue One – A Star Wars Story. And this weekend, it’s a panel focusing on the upcoming first standalone spinoff film in the franchise that will be the highlight of the entire expo. And you can watch it right here… eventually, when it goes live later today at 16:45 local time!
Other highlights of the weekend include interviews with the likes of Mark Hamill, having Chris Miller and Phil Lord – directors of the upcoming Han Solo spinoff movie – on the Star Wars panel, in-depth looks at some of the most important people behind-the-scenes on Star Wars, chatting about Marvel’s brilliant Star Wars comics and much more!
You can check out the full schedule below (and remember, just add an extra hour to the BST time to get local time).
