Star Wars Fan Celebration is happening in Anaheim, CA, as I write this (unfortunately, I couldn’t make it down) and attendees to the event so far have been graced with a plethora of pleasant surprises.
First, the approximately 1,500 diehard fans who camped outside the convention center for more than 30 hours were treated to free pizza, courtesy of “Star Wars: Episode VII” director J.J. Abrams. However, the real thrill came during this morning’s opening panel, “The Force Awakens.” Abrams and executive producer Kathleen Kennedy were on hand to field questions from fans, but the highlight of the 60 minute panel was the latest teaser trailer for “Star Wars: Episode VII.”
I’ve only watched the two-minute clip twice at this point, so I’m still sort of processing it. Rather than taking the hardcore “Star Wars” fan route and completely dissecting what I’ve just seen, I think I’ll just let it sink in for a while. I will say that this teaser is a nostalgic—and joyous—rush to the system, particularly as far as the final, affectionate moment of the clip is concerned.
“The Force Awakens” opens in your galaxy on December 18, 2015. For now, bask in the glory of this latest teaser trailer.
