I have faith but just want it to happen so bad.

And I wanna direct a Star Wars movie with Michael Shannon, Jessica Chastain, and Sofia Boutella.

Both of these things have the same chances of happening.

 

[The Omega Man]

No unaltered OT
No new soundtrack release
No Obi-Wan announcement

The dream is dead. Bury it.

Like gamers with E3, we will dream again next year when the next celebration happens, and so forth

 

[Tsunamo]

Is Ewan confirmed to be there?

If he isn're then it's not that weird.

If he is, oh boy.

I don't think he's confirmed, but he certainly does feel like the odd one out considering everyone they got this time.

But yeah we'll see what happens, would be a nice suprise to see him pop-up like Ford did.

Plus the recent rumor that popped up about the Obi-Wan movie being the closest new movie project to be announced at LucasFilm/in development. I want to believe

 

[SpaceWolf]

An Obi-Wan spin-off announcement might be saved for the end of the whole event, right?

Right?!

....man, why do I do this to myself?

 

[Ridisc]

Well, congratulations on being one of the few people in the world who watched the Star Wars Celebration 2015 Force Awakens panel and didn't lose their shit for approximately two minutes trying to find the new TFA trailer when that happened! lol

Jokes aside, I'm not doubting you here, Bobby. But I know for a fact that the stream ended for me without going straight into the trailer and I remember folks on Jedi Council forums flipping out for a couple of minutes before we discovered that they'd uploaded the trailer straight onto their YouTube channel instead of streaming it. I'm guessing you probably used a different stream or something?

It would be a strange thing to make up, and yet I get told vehemently that what happened to me didnt happen, yet ive heard so many similar complaints.

Either way, having as many streams open as possible this year

Michael Shannon as an unhinged bounty hunter would be too good for this world.

Are you sure you're using this word correctly

 

[Sephzilla]

I'm still misty eyed from that Carrie tribute followed by Leia's theme

 

[dcelw540]

How was hayden in this special? I can't watch it but it's kinda crazy they actually got him back.

Isn't there still a couple more days of this for possibly other announcements? :/

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I didn't think Williams was actually going to be there. I mean, I knew it was a possibility but I figured it wasn't actually to go down.

Those first few notes, man.

Goddamn.

Bit nervous you could tell, didnt say a huge amount but was very well received

 

[Galava]

lol sometimes I forget that actual people come up with what's happening next in starwars and that it's a full time job. Takes the magic away. In my mind most of the time is like it really hapenned a long time ago in a galaxy far away and we are just disocovering what happened T.T

He had time before the 90 Minutes In Heaven 2 filming began.

 

[Toa TAK]

Felicity Jones wasn't there, either guys.

Jyn Erso spin-off announcement imminent?

But Obi-wan is a key character in SW, not having him means he really couldn't make it and record anything or they have him for other panel or reveal. Even qui-gon and mace windu got represented in the panel.

 

[Chained Prometheus]

Might have, I dunno. I think maybe for 2015 they had a different streaming setup, where there's the convention wide stream, and then on a second channel they had panel-specific channels.

This year they seem to be walling those off so they don't have two channels streaming the exact same thing at the same time.

So whatever stream I was watching just switched over when the trailer started. This is the first I'm hearing that people back in 2015 had to scramble.

Seems you're both right?

Fascinating! I wonder how that all happened. Bobby might be onto something in that maybe they used more than one stream?

 

[Ibuki]

So Jyn isn't a key character?

 

[Davide]

E3 has actually been good lately though

Could be he's tied up with Fargo promotion and can't make it.

We should head over to Yoda's dojo and ask some little kids in goofy helmets to help solve this riddle.

Truly wonderful, the mind of a child

 

[Hex]

Jyn Erso spin-off announcement imminent?

She is at Celebration though.
Signings and photo ops sold out fast

 

[DeadlyVirus]

Any bluray announcements?

 

[Fj0823]

She's getting a part in a cartoon mini series

Spoiler

I'm sure Ezra will meet her in Rebels season 4

 

[SpaceWolf]

Are the cast of Fargo currently on press tour?

 

[Sephzilla]

Those first few notes, man.

Goddamn.

Yeah, right when my brain registered that it was Leia's theme I was fucking done.

 

[kevin1025]

Are the cast of Fargo currently on press tour?

Not quite sure, to be honest. But it starts airing next week, it's possible he has a bunch of interviews coming up.

 

[Toa TAK]

Signings and photo ops sold out fast

Now I feel like I should've gone to the celebration.

 

[Jibbed]

Anyone got details of the best streams / highlights happening over the weekend?

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Any bluray announcements?

Nada.

There'd have been 5 threads on the front page simultaneously if there were.

lmao That sounds like a plan!

Sorry if I got a bit rude or anything earlier btw! ^_^

You weren't rude at all! And even if you were, I wasn't taking it like that. It's just Star Wars bullshit.

 

[MiamiWesker]

I feel such sadness that I missed being in the actual room with EVERYONE! I cannot believe they got everyone. I was a mess during the Fisher tribute. Nothing tomorrow can top that.

 

[Haloid1177]

I got to see John fucking Williams LIVE! Screw back pain! Worth it!

 

[Toa TAK]

I got to see John fucking Williams LIVE! Screw back pain! Worth it!

You did it, Haloid.

You did it.

 

[Surfinn]

I got to see John fucking Williams LIVE! Screw back pain! Worth it!

Now you know it was worth it.

You lucky fucking bastard

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I got to see John fucking Williams LIVE! Screw back pain! Worth it!

On a scale of 1 to Mess, how much of a mess was everyone during Princess Leia's theme?

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

It was cool to see Hayden Christensen there. Was he at any previous ones? Curious to hear what he thought of TFA and a Rogue One.

 

[Waldini]

I do wonder why there werent any new things announced? Could be that they wanted to stick to the 40th Anniversary part?

 

[Trago]

I got to see John fucking Williams LIVE! Screw back pain! Worth it!

So many emotions in the room huh?

 

[Jibbed]

It was a stream entirely dedicated to celebrating 40 years of Star Wars, whilst also paying tribute to the late Carrie Fisher.

They literally have 4 days of announcements, trailers and all sorts coming.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

I wonder what it must have been like for those orchestra members to be directed by THE John Williams.

I got to see John fucking Williams LIVE! Screw back pain! Worth it!

Living the dream for all of SWGAF.

 

[McBradders]

I got to see John fucking Williams LIVE! Screw back pain! Worth it!

He's alive!

 

[Toa TAK]

I better see some Maul vs Ahsoka in these shorts.

 

[CaptainSmirnov]

Kicking myself for not going to this, maybe next year or the one after, it won't have John Williams though :/

I had a passing throught. Orlando is about 3.5 hours away, driving. But...naaaaaah. Work day.

 

[Boke1879]

Will this stuff be uploaded to YouTube?

 

[Seigyoku]

How did you lunatics post 20 pages of stuff during the panel?

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I wonder what it must have been like for those orchestra members to be directed by THE John Williams.

Its the London Philharmonie Orchester, they are coworkers. John makes music with them all the time.

Check the channel - some stuff has already gone up.
