Gareth Edwards and Josh Trank Are Coming to STAR WARS Celebration 2015

Star Wars fans who are attending this year's Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim were already excited about the idea of seeing Star Wars: The Force Awakens writer/director J.J. Abrams and Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy, but now there are two more major players in the Star Wars universe confirmed to appear: Gareth Edwards and Josh Trank, the directors of the upcoming standalone films. (Edwards will direct Star Wars: Rogue One, while Trank will direct a still-untitled film to be released in a few years.)

StarWars.com has the news:

Kathleen Kennedy, Kiri Hart and Pablo Hidalgo will be joined by directors Gareth Edwards and Josh Trank, who will share their experiences as the newest members of the Lucasfilm creative family. Learn how the teams came together and are collaborating to conceive and create the upcoming stand-alone films in the galaxy far, far away.

A lot has been rumored about these standalone movies, but since there's so little information that's been 100% confirmed, this would be a great time to present fans with some real concrete info about what we can expect. GeekTyrant will have a presence at Star Wars Celebration (which runs from April 16th-19th), so we'll be sure to bring you updates from the convention as soon as possible.
