The Force Awakens Panel at Star Wars Celebration

Star Wars Celebration is now officially open in Anaheim, California!


The Force Awakens Panel kicked off Star Wars Celebration today, and I watched it via StarWars.com !

We saw appearances from JJ Abrams, R2D2, BB-8, the new cast and finally the original cast!

Of course, no super secrets were revealed but everyone was obviously excited to be a part of the project and to feel the excitement of the fans.

Here are some fun things I took away from the panel:

- new technology was incorporated throughout the movie: including the amazing BB-8
- we will be introduced to a new planet called Jakku
- the Stormtroopers have an updated look
- the classic Princess Leia's buns will be gone
- look out for new designs in astromech droids!
- and of course, the newest trailer!


It was good see the new cast, but chilling to see our original favorites.   And to see that the cast truly appreciates the ultra-passionate fans (UPFs) was heartwarming.  Mark Hamill said it best, we were "more than fans, we were family".


Everyone has a Star Wars Story... I watched a New Hope with my dad and cherish those memories.  And I'm looking forward to the new movies and many more memories to come!

What is your Star Wars Story?
