John being there means we're probably gonna get some VIII news!

"In Ep.VIII, Finn wakes up from that coma!"

*Applause, Boyega leaves the stage*

 

[bananafactory]

I just don't like the idea of them building movies with such established characters like Han Solo with a different actor, it just feels wrong. They should just focus on new characters like Rouge One.

I can't tell if this is a joke now or if people are still misspelling it

I agree though, I'd have preferred they explore new characters but if this is what we're getting at the very least it's in good hands.

 

[Mr Cola]

Throw Finn in a bacta tank for a few hours hell be fine

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Finn to come out of his coma in IX as a cyborg.

 

[Freewheelin']

"In Ep.VIII, Finn wakes up from that coma!"

*Applause, Boyega leaves the stage*

Close enough

STARWARS.COM TEAM A FEW SECONDS AGO
So…is Finn OK after getting sliced by Kylo Ren? They won’t say. Johnson says they toyed with the idea of continually cutting to Finn in a coma throughout the film.

LOL

All I'm imagining is that old Dragonball Z show where it goes like 8 episodes with Goku in some sort of recovery chamber, then he just shows up at the end of a fight and wrecks folks

GET EM FINN

 

[Mr Cola]

Johnson on Kelly Marie Tran: “She’s really something special.” He can’t wait for the fans to see her in the film.

STARWARS.COM TEAM A FEW SECONDS AGO
Hidalgo says they need to fill out the family portrait on stage — so please welcome Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher!


Oh shit

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Give Mark the mic and this panel isn't ending today.

 

[m4st4]

No live streams this time?

 

[Freewheelin']

Announce gary the dog as director of IX

 

[MMarston]

Hamill: “It’s so moving. You can tell you’re apart of people’s childhoods…Sometimes I get light-headed with it.”

Fisher: “What he said.”

Classic Carrie.

 

[Tsunamo]

Carrie and Marks dogs to co-direct episode IX confirmed.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Carrie Fisher says she thinks that pregnant fans swallow Princess Leia costumes so that their babies are born with them.

Haha.

 

[DKHF]

"That may be it. Everyone is taking photos together on stage now"

Welp.

 

[obin_gam]

Hoping for the title at the very end though in an hour

 

[bananafactory]

When did we get TFA title?

 

[Tsunamo]

That can't be it, can it? There's gotta be more, right, right?

Hoping for the title at the very end though in an hour

I feel like we're torturing ourselves here, but i'll keep hoping anyway.

At least we'll always have Space Bear.

 

[DKHF]

When did we get TFA title?

early November 2014

 

[ViewtifulJC]

That can't be it, can it? There's gotta be more, right, right?

Tune in next year folks!

 

[Prompto]

When did we get TFA title?

When it wrapped filming. About a year and a month before it came out.

 

[Mariolee]

Still Closing Ceremony left to hold out HOPE.

 

[Exterminieren]

A whole lotta nothin'.

Ah well.

 

[bananafactory]

early November 2014

So just over a year from release.

Maybe a bit early for Ep8 then. Probably this winter?

 

[munchie64]

 

[phazedplasma]

damn, why didnt they stream it then?

 

[Metalmarc]

Shows over folks booy am i glad i didnt spend money to go, now next years is gonna be the one to go to.

 

[Freewheelin']

Weird they wouldn't stream that if they showed nothing.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

damn, why didnt they stream it then?

For what? there was nothing lol

 

[Einchy]

I don't get why they didn't stream that, especially when they liveblogged it on their own website.

 

[DKHF]

The panel was disappointing but I understand them not wanting to make any ep VIII announcements or even wanting to show any ep VIII footage to just the crowd because it would completely overshadow Rogue One which is way closer.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Sounds like Carrie let slip that VIII does contain

Spoiler

Han's funeral as rumoured and that she'll be back for IX.

No title then by the looks of it. They would have done it during this panel I'd have thought.

 

[obin_gam]

what's with americans and "family stories"?
so so awkward

 

[Edag88]

what's with americans and "family stories"?
so so awkward

What the hell?

 

[Prompto]

Still no Obi-Wan movie announcement

It's never happening is it?

 

[obin_gam]

What the hell?

the hosts in the live stream are americans and they want to hear sob stories to give out swag.

 

[Einchy]

I wish I knew what this meant.

 

[Metalmarc]

Still no Obi-Wan movie announcement

Announcement probably next year, america gets all the best stuff

 

[Ushojax]

He doesnt look anything close to Harrison Ford... bad choice

It's almost as if they're casting for a movie and not a series of trading cards.

 

[Slixshot]

So was there no new Rogue One trailer other than the BTS thing?

 

[Metalmarc]

So was there no new Rogue One trailer other than the BTS thing?

There was but for people there and it was only a little bit different to what we already saw before.

 

[Tsunamo]

Still no Obi-Wan movie announcement

One day the dream will be real.

It's far too logical for it not to happen eventually.

 

[Prompto]

So was there no new Rogue One trailer other than the BTS thing?

They showed a new teaser at the end of the Rogue One panel that wasn't released online. But there didn't seem to be much new in it.

 

[Metalmarc]

I bet even comic con next week will get cool stuff, and if i had gone and spent all my money going to London as a Star Wars fan, I'd be pissed

 

[GavinUK86]

That was a cool video
