Rian Johnson Reveals on Twitter That He Will Attend Disney’s D23 This Week!
Director Rian Johnson took to Twitter to continue his interaction with the fans. With a brief tweet Johnson answered a big question from the fans, and while there were no big revelations, he did say that he’ll be an attendee at this year’s Disney D23 Expo. Read on for more….
He’s been setting the internet on fire across the globe ever since taking on the directorial role for the upcoming Star Wars: The Last Jedi. And Rian Johnson once again set pulses racing, as he posted a seemingly innocent tweet that is sure to make rounds on Twitter. The American born director, 43, simply responded with a quick “yesssssss” when asked by a fellow Twitter user, if he was going to make an appearance at the upcoming Disney D23 Expo.
So will his appearances be in a fan capacity or will it be something more? With the aforementioned rumor of a behind the scenes reel being shown, it would make sense for someone like the “director” to all make an appearance on stage to kick off the BTS reel (note: the presentation will be at 10 am (PT) on Saturday, July 15). Now this would coincide with what Steven Weintraub, one of Collider‘s top-rated hosts, recently said on Twitter about the possibility that Disney will bring a behind-the-scenes reel for The Last Jedi and that it might be shown at D23 instead of a trailer. This actually follows with how Disney and Lucasfilm have operated in the past as both The Force Awakens and Rogue One saw behind-the-scene reels released in mid July (in similar type of events, respectively).

So the question is, what will Rian be doing at the event? Will attendees at Disney’s D23 Expo be treated to some extra special The Last Jedi goodness as the film will be part of a huge live-action panel presentation? Whatever the case may be, we’ll keep you up-to-date with any breaking news regarding the happenings of Disney’s big event.
Here’s the question and Rian Johnson’s Tweet:
Yessssssssss

It’s sorta hilarious that fans are already trying to get more details out of the Star Wars director.
And are you going to be sharing things??

I agree. I think we will get a Behind the Scenes “trailer” at D23 rather than a real trailer.
But it might be possible that they’ll move up the real trailer and show that now instead because of the Han Solo movie stuff. They want the attention off of that. And nothing does that better than trailer.
Yeah, me want Trailer….
That would be best. xD
I don’t think we are getting a trailer until the Fall. The last 2 years have told me so.
BTS sucks
I think it’s gonna be BTS.
I’m just seeing the coding for Rian’s twitter responses, not the actual tweets themselves.
Can you tell me if you have this issue on mobile or desktop? And what OS and browser you use.
I was having the problem on desktop, but the problem appears to have been fixed.
It’s a miracle
My question is…
Will she go to Mars?
I hope so.
HYPE HYPE HYPE.
