Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker just concluded its epic panel at Star Wars Celebration and our minds are properly blown.
Moderated by Star Wars super fan Stephen Colbert, the Episode IX panel ushered out director JJ Abrams and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy for a quick Q & A before the cast of the final film in the saga came out on stage. Daisy Ridley, Kelly Marie Tran, John Boyega, Billy Dee Williams, Oscar Isaac, and Anthony Daniels came to tease story details of the film before the title and first teaser trailer were revealed.
On stage, we glimpsed new images of our heroes from Rise of Skywalker, a movie that Abrams promised fans will take these characters “to many worlds, and many places.” Among the highlights was our first look at Lando since Return of the Jedi — and our favorite smooth talker is seemingly wearing the exact same outfit Donald Glover wore as a younger Lando in Solo: A Star Wars Story. We also got a look at a new alien species.
We’ve rounded up all the pics for those who couldn’t attend the panel in person. Check ’em out below!
