The first look atStar Wars 9is on the way and you’ll be able to watch all of the fun fromStar WarsCelebration at home. The official Star Wars website and YouTube channel will be broadcasting live to give fans a look at the huge party being thrown in Chicago. J.J. Abrams and crew are all expected to come out on stage and talk about the mysterious upcoming movie while delivering the first footage and title reveal.
Star Warsfans from all over the world will be able to tune in and watch theStar Wars Celebrationlive, and in real-time as it happens. Mark Hamill has already said he won’t be able to make it this year, but there are going to be a ton of surprises delivered all weekend, so don’t think this ends after the bigStar Wars 9announcement later today. Fans of the franchise are going to want to take a look at what else the weekend has to offer, like our first look atThe Mandalorian.
Star Wars 9is going to be thefinal movie of the Skywalker sagaand it’s going to be the lastStar Warsmovie we see on the big screen for a little while. At the Disney shareholders meeting yesterday, studio boss Bob Iger announced that the franchise is going on a hiatus for a bit to reset. Rian Johnson andGame of Thronesshowrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are developing their own trilogies, which will focus on other characters from theStar Warsuniverse, so it is a good decision to give fans a bit of a breather to properly prepare.
With that being said,Star Wars 9doesn’t even hit theaters until the end of this year, so there is still a lot to look forward too. For truly impatient hardcore fans,The Mandalorianis all set to premiere on theDisney+ streaming service on November 12th, which just happens to be the launch date of the new service. Fans are going to get a sneak peek at what Jon Favreau has been up to on the highly anticipated series, which the director says takes the franchise back to its roots.
Fans who weren’t able to make it out toStar WarsCelebration are still going to have a fun day today, thanks to the live streams of the panels and the release of the firstStar Wars 9footage. However, this is theStar Warsfan base we’re talking about, which means there will more than likely be more than a few complaints about the title or the first footage reveal. Whatever the case may be, you can make up your own mind as you watch everything below, thanks to the official Star Wars YouTube channel.
