Does anyone have any pictures of the t-shirts from the exclusive store? I somehow didn't spot any cool t-shirts specific to the event but saw one with a union jack xwing as I left. If it's branded like an event tee, dates and logo, wotnot, if someone could grab one,t hat would be a-mei-zing.

When I was in there, I only saw the plain black with logo on it, I want one of the store exclusive posters too! I'll happily pay ahead, preferably you would be based in London so I can grab it from you. Is this even allowed? Sorry!

Doesn't look like it. The OT title's a nod to all those who were saying 'Many Bothans died to bring us this information' when Rogue One was announced, when it was the wrong Death Star.

Oh yeah, that explains it. I don't think they ever said who died for the first one, heh.
"Some mercs we recruited, idk."

I can't believe how anyone could easily mix this up.
When you just think of it, it goes like this Bothans --> Ackbar --> It's a trap --> Lando and Nien Nunb guy --> Huge Space Battle --> Last SW (RotJ) Movie --> 2nd Death Star.

The Death Trooper, Shore Trooper, and Tank Driver helmets will be mine. Lucasfilm is making it hard me for me and my wallet with all these cool new designs.

Five Rogue One books were announced at the publishing panel. We already knew about most of them but nice to see James Luceno will be returning to write the Rogue One prequel book, Catalyst.

Daniels panel is so awkward. Currently recreating a full scene from A New Hope with audience members. Right before it, they were teaching a bunch of audience members how to behave like droids. Daniels embarrassed a little girl to hell during the droid segment.

If I want to start watch the animated shows, should I start with Clone Wars and then progress to Rebels? How many seasons do Clone Wars have?

5 and a half seasons, I think.

But it's better than Rebels and Rebels has some Clone Wars characters / references so start with Clone Wars. It's the best Star Wars can be, especially the further you get into it.

Thanks guys. I don't get why they don't stream some of this stuff? What gives?
Click to expand...

They want to ensure people still buy tickets for Celebration I guess. The Rogue One teaser was primarily shots we've already seen with a little Vader tease, but I can understand them wanting to give attendees an exclusive.

I'm guessing there'll be a brief Episode VIII teaser like the one for Rogue One at last year's celebration.

Agreed. I started off with The Clone Wars and while I consider it to be the better of the two shows, it really helped added onto my enjoyment of Rebels seeing some lore/characters pop up in Rebels from the show.

It starts off slow but the later seasons turn the show into something amazing.

Ooh the whole livestream has had gremlins, swapping of trailer, a few cringe moments, accidental spoilers, lots of nervous guests, boring male presenter, hiccups etc this year, i do wonder if they will bother again next year, i hope so but last years was way better. Mind you i guess thats to be expected from live streams.

Apart from the accidental spoiler I think the livestream and panels have been pretty good. Everyone's always nervous and awkward so that's expected.

Yeah, there's always some awkwardness at conventions. What I've watched has been pretty good overall. The Rogue One and Ahsoka panels were great.
