Star Wars Celebration takes place from April 1. April 1. 6th in Orlando. By Terri Schwartz. Star Wars Celebration is the biggest bash to celebrate being a Star Wars fan every year, and this year's convention in Orlando, Fla. Celebration yet. Don't know what Star Wars Celebration is? It's essentially like Comic- Con, if Comic- Con was only about Star Wars. Everything connected to Star Wars, from the official films, TV shows and games to the theme parks, merch and comics/novels get spotlighted during this four- day event, and we find out a significant amount of the plans for the franchise for the next year. But more exciting, it's a celebration of everything Star Wars, which means fans are front and center, whether they're at the show or watching it through the official live stream. Beyond the expected news about Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Star Wars Battlefront II, Star Wars Celebration 2. Lucasfilm- run event. IGN will be on the ground bringing you all the biggest news and excitement from Celebration as soon as it happens. You can watch along with all the biggest shows live via the official live stream. To get you as excited for the event as we are, here's a breakdown of what we're expecting to be the biggest news out of Star Wars Celebration this year: Star Wars: The Last Jedi's First Trailer - Friday, 1. ETThe hype is real for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and what better time to drop the first trailer for the highly anticipated film than at the official Star Wars convention? We're placing our bets that The Last Jedi trailer will come out of the Friday, April 1. Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy, director Rian Johnson and "special guests" (read: cast members like Daisy Ridley, Mark Hamill and Adam Driver) - - especially because Good Morning America is dropping a special tease on Tuesday morning that we're expecting is a preview of this longer trailer. This panel is an hour- and- a- half long though, so it's safe to assume we'll be seeing (or at least hearing) a bit more about The Last Jedi than just the teaser. Rumor has it that this first teaser will have "the 'full trailer' feel," so make sure to come back to IGN when the trailer drops for our full trailer Rewind of the new footage, as well as plenty of breakdowns about what this new look - - and any news we hear about future Star Wars films - - means for the series. We also will have a slideshow from the trailer right after it drops so you can pore over every frame of the video like we are. First Look at Star Wars Battlefront II - Saturday, 2: 3. ETThis one we definitely know is happening. After years of anticipation, Electronic Arts confirmed that fans would get their first look at Star Wars Battlefront II during the EA panel on Saturday, April 1. Star. Wars. com, starting at 1. PT/2: 3. 0pm ET/7: 3. UK and April 1. 6 at 5: 3. AET). We know for certain we'll be seeing the first trailer for the Battlefront sequel, but EA also promised "a glimpse at the game" which seems to hint that they'll be showing more than just that teaser - - it is an hour- long panel, after all. Unfortunately Battlefront II won't be playable at Celebration, but EA did confirm it would be available at the E3- adjacent event EA Play this year. That means we're going to give you the deepest dive coverage we can, breaking down everything we've seen from Battlefront II before we can get our hands on it and share the gameplay content with you. In addition to our written and video coverage, expect a full Rewind of the trailer coming soon after it drops. Three Generations of Star Wars Casts Unite - Thursday, 1. ETOnce Hayden Christensen was announced as an attendee of Star Wars Celebration this year, Disney's plans for the Thursday kickoff "4. Years of Star Wars" panel became crystal clear: this panel really is going to bring in all three generations of Star Wars casts. The official poster for 2. Celebrationis a celebration all three trilogies, after all. The actors who will be attending the convention who we expect to be present for this include Mark Hamill, Christensen, Billy Dee Williams, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, Ian Mc. Dairmind, Ray Park, Tem Morrison, Felicity Jones, Riz Ahmed, Alan Tudyk and of course whoever from the Last Jedi cast will be attending the panel the following day. Speaking of which.. A Tribute to Carrie Fisher - Friday, 5: 3. ETConsidering the recent passing of Star Wars icon Carrie Fisher and the fact this year's Celebration is reflecting on the franchise's legacy, we're assuming a good chunk of that "4. Years of Star Wars" panel is going to be dedicated to honoring the late Princess Leia actress. Beyond that, her co- star and friend Mark Hamill is holding a panel on Friday as his tribute to Fisher. The Force - - and all our thoughts - - will certainly be with her at this year's convention. IGN will be in the room covering the panel and will offer a full report of what that experience was like. A Sneak Peek at Star Wars Rebels: Season 4 - Saturday, 1. ETStar Wars Rebels just wrapped up its third season with a great season finale, but that doesn't mean there won't be a tease for Season 4 at 2. Celebration!

We're going to be talking to the cast and creators of Rebels to get all the scoop on what's to come, so tune back in for all our interviews and coverage of Season 4. If you can't stand the wait until the Saturday, April 1. Filoni reflecting on the Season 3 finale and hinting at what comes next. Something New?

Whether it's more details on the young Han Solo film and future anthology movies, or a reveal of the other Star Wars games that Visceral and Respawn are working on, or maybe even some new TV or comics property we haven't even dreamed up yet, we're expecting to be excited about something new in the Star Wars universe by this time next week - - like this exciting new Forces of Destiny initiative.

During the live- action film panel at Disney’s D2. Lucasfilm showcased a behind- the- scenes sizzle reel for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. While the studio attempts to get the young Han Solo spinoff film back on track with Ron Howard taking over for Phil Lord and Chris Miller, Rian Johnson’s Episode VIII has been sailing smoothly from the beginning. Fans are excited to see what the Looper director has in store for the galaxy far, far away, especially with the promise that the movie sets new rules for the franchise and is different from its predecessors. Promotion for the film has been characteristically tight- lipped, but fans have seen enough to be teased in tantalizing ways. With Lucasfilm opting to forgo a Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic- Con this year, D2. Star Wars 8 on a large platform this summer before things kick into high gear in the fall. While there is still no second trailer, viewers can get another taste of Johnson’s film via a behind- the- scenes featurette, similar to the ones for The Force Awakens and Rogue One that premiered at similar times in their respective years of release. You can watch the video in the space above. The main focus of the video is Johnson’s vision for the story and the exciting new directions he took the property in. Daisy Ridley called the narrative “unexpected, but right,” and John Boyega mentioned that the sequel shifts things in an “opposite direction” from what the audience may have thought following the events of Episode VII. Newcomer Kelly Marie Tran was also complimentary of Johnson’s handling of the material, stating that the characters are “complex,” which is ultimately makes the film as special as it is. From the beginning, word was The Last Jedi was going to be a different kind of beast when compared the the previous episodes, and it seems like there’s some truth to that. Boyega claimed Johnson made Star Wars “fresh and new,” which is just what the fans want to hear after The Force Awakens drew a little too much inspiration from A New Hope. Viewers also got a look at some of the new creatures that will make their big screen debut in Episode VIII. Chief among them are the porgs, which are indigenous to Ahch- To. The bird- like animals have been previously seen in fan sketches and a leaked image of a pinball tabletop game. Impressively enough, the ones in the video are practical effects – most likely animatronics. There is also something that resembles a white wolf, and another alien in a stable of some kind. It’s possible the latter of those is a prized racing animal found on Canto Bight, rumored to be part of an action sequence. The video also shows off some of the locations – including Ahch- To, the high- rolling casino city Canto Bight, and Crait (where Rey and Finn look to have a reunion). There’s plenty to unpack in these three minutes – arguably more than another trailer. Fans will be analyzing every frame for possible clues about the secretive story. The footage seems to confirm some bits of speculation that have made their way online (see: Finn and Rose dressed as First Order officers undercover) and sets the stage for one of the most emotional Star Wars films yet. As the late, great Carrie Fisher says at the end, “It’s about family. And that’s what’s so powerful about it.” If the D2. Source: Lucasfilm. Key Release Dates.
