The 6 biggest takeaways from Star Wars Celebration
This past weekend's Star Wars Celebration had everything: Bonus footage and extra goodies for fans, gorgeous cosplays, emotional tributes to Carrie Fisher, and even a trailer for December's The Last Jedi.
That's a lot for one Earthly mind to absorb in a few days, so let's recap the Orlando gathering's biggest moments.
1. A jaw-dropping look at Star Wars Land
In 2019, you'll be able to visit that faraway galaxy in a Disney theme park where you can meet your favorite droids and fly aboard the Millennium Falcon. To quote Mashable's Chris Taylor and probably many more, shut up and take our money.
2. Leia will always reign
Call her Princess or don't, but Leia Organa and Carrie Fisher live on in the legacy of Star Wars and its ardent fans. From Mark Hamill's candid memories to Fisher's own daughter, Billie Lourd, paying tribute to Leia, the tears were strong with this one.
3. How Harrison Ford got the role
The actor who played Han Solo and his director disagree on how the fates brought them together, but boy are we glad they did.
4. A Battlefront II release date
Goodbye, pre-purchase, and hello to a story picking up between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.
5. The end of Star Wars Rebels
The animated Star Wars TV show will come to a close after its fourth and final season, which will "finally reveal" the characters' fate.
6. Everything in that Last Jedi trailer
We'll just leave it here so you can relive the magic.
