J.J. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy to Kick Off STAR WARS CELEBRATION

One of the events that I'm most excited about attending this year is Star Wars Celebration. This will be my first year attending the fan event, and I've been hoping that Disney and Lucasfilm will show off a new trailer, or some kind of new footage.

Lucasfilm has announced that the director J.J. Abrams and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy will be kicking off the event "in a big way." They also say it "will be a day long remembered." I'm pretty sure that means that anyone attending will be seeing some of that new Star Wars: The Force Awakens footage that we've all been excited about and hoping for.  

For  J.J. Abrams, the Star Wars Celebration circle is now complete.
StarWars.com is thrilled to announce that the director of Star Wars: The Force Awakens — who once attended Star Wars Celebration as a fan — is confirmed to appear at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim this April. Abrams and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy will kick off the show in a big way on Thursday morning, April 16, at 10:00 a.m. This will be a day long remembered.
Kennedy attended Celebration Europe in July 2013, where she had an in-depth chat with host Warwick Davis, and revealed that John Williams would return to score Star Wars: The Force Awakens. She also toured the show floor, checking out the work of the R2 Builders Club — which led to members of the fan group joining the production of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Star WarsThe Force Awakens is scheduled for release December 18, 2015.

Whatever it is that they show off is going to be something special, and probably something only people attending the event will get to see. I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up bring in the whole cast of the upcoming film as well, which would make things even more amazing! This is just speculation, but they are hyping it up to be something to that effect. The anticipation is killing me!

Star Wars Celebration takes place April 16-19 at the Anaheim Convention Center. GeekTyrant will be in attendance, and we'll let you know how it all goes down!
