Very curious about those still to be announced Sunday panels…
when they say something is live streamed, they mean the same way they did last year?
They haven’t made THAT announcement yet. I do expect them to live stream the R1 panel like they did the TFA panel last year.
If they don’t I would be very disappointed
No word on Rebels panel and episode screenings yet..
Could be a surprise…
Its on the main stage
What about screenings of the Prequels in 3D?
I believe that that already happened in the previous SWC (last year). That said, there’s a possibility that they could do re-screenings of them this year again (maybe even along with the 3D conversions of the OT? [that was also originally planned before Disney bought Lucasfilm]) but so far no word on this yet.
Let’s get ready guys!
Just give me a teaser or trailer for any movie and I’ll be happy. Heck even a vague behind the scenes of R1 or Ep 8 would be quite nice!
Who’s going? Would like to maybe find a few people to bs with in the queue lines. I’ll be staying at the Holiday Inn Royal Docks
