Star Wars: Episode VIII - 8 Biggest Reveals From Celebration Europe You Need To Know
The opening, the influences, the cameos and more.
It was as if 4000 voices cried out in joy, then were suddenly silenced. Yes, Star Wars Celebration is over. And, like Alderaan, it went out with a bang.
The final panel on the Celebration Stage was Future Filmmakers, which saw Rian Johnson (Episode VIII) and Phil Lord and Chris Miller (Han Solo) discuss their far away films with a very exciting panel. It was more a celebration of Star Wars, rather than an hour of major info, although that's not bad thing - events like this are all about the atmosphere (and it preps us for more reveals down the line).
Perhaps the biggest surprise was that we didn't get a title for The Force Awakens sequel - it was heavily rumoured to be happening and as shooting's recently wrapped, it'd be a fitting time (it was at this point in Episode VII's development when we first heard "The Force Awakens"). On that note, I assume that means the heavily rumoured title from a couple of months past is false, seeing as that was alleged to be unveiled here.
But all that doesn't mean we didn't learn anything. On the contrary, for a film that's not out for another year and a half, we got a lot of clues and tidbits for what we can expect in December 2017. Here's the eight biggest.
As said above, there was also a Han Solo presence at the panel, so keep your eyes peeled for more on that.
