Since there isn't a Celebration in 2018 would they really announce two years beforehand?
You think Darth Vader is a good comic slow your authoritative roll there buddy.
I do have this lingering feeling that the first wave of reviews could very much be "I dont get it" or "This isnt what i expected". Its a reach of course but a film that is very diffierent will take time for people to get their heads around, and the fact its a middle chapter and will end on notes that arent sewn up, will add to the confusion of it all.
Big leap from me here of course, I am just so intrigued to see what risks are being taken.

Just where it will be, perhaps. They may not yet.
^^yeah same, I loved the trip despite all the BS that is just part of convention territory, like I knew it'd be miserable for long stretches but the things that happened were SO awesome. My only regret is only going for two days, but a person that came with us was only able to go for those two days. But next time I think we're going to go for the entire time and only worry about the Episode IX panel and just be more involved with smaller panels and seeing more things.
I watched the Collider Schmoedown and it looked like a lot of fun, I regret not being at things like that for example.
I personally hope so so I can start saving and planning lol
You are the big Superior Spider-Man fan, right?... so yep

Otto did everything right.
I think from actual critics it will be received better than TFA but from nerd youtubers it is up in the air. I can see a slower pace just not been 'awesometacular' enough
Recap
Meh. I'll stop then.
Is that really a requirement? Didn't the first three Celebrations coincide with Ep. I-III?
Yup
Sad there's not one to look forward to next year, since I started following them they've become my Star Wars E3's, so enjoyable everytime.
Would love to go in person one day.

Yeah, definitely going to miss it next year.
This year's event definitely missed Carrie - especially when all the old cast attended the 40th anniversary panel - but the tribute to her there and at Mark's panel were perfect.
A lot to get excited about as well. The Last Jedi looks excellent, Rebels seems to be finishing on a high and Battlefront 2 looks promising.

Just got home. Was curious and check in on the stream.
"...wherever it may be"
*audience groans*
Well, that was literally the only thing I wanted to know and I tuned in at the right time lol. Hope it comes back to Anaheim soon. I imagine it'll be back when Star Wars land opens.

It would be two weeks before the Han Solo movie starts. Doesnt make sense to put it in there because of the Marketing cycle.
I'm surprised they're not moving Solo to December, makes sense for Star Wars to own the Christmas period after TFA and Rogue One.
They want to go back to the traditional Star Wars day. May the 5th be with you and everything.

Not a bad Celebration, I guess...one lack of a very specific announcement non-withstanding.
Yeah, this one wasn't quite as good as the last couple.

Which is funny because it had bigger reveals than last year (which was pretty tame in that regard).
Not even a title.
Bomba confirmed
HAS THE STAR WARS BUBBLE BURST???

I mean we missed:
All the other Star Wars games
No LEGO Star Wars game announcement
No real LEGO toy announcements
(Felt like the toy annoucements we did have were small)
Name of Han Solo movie: At least a cast wave-at-audience/drive-by
No tease of 3rd Story movie
Nothing on the Future of the Force
Am I missing anything?

There was the Phasma book and comic. Leia and Luke books. And lots of kids books.
Or were those already known? I forget.

No new comics wasn't really a surprise as Vader was only announced recently and we already have Star Wars, Poe and Aphra as ongoing series'. When Maul's finished, Phasma will take its place as the mini-series.
There were quite a few new book announcements as well. Most importantly, another Claudia Gray book.

It's a bit surprising come to think of it. Pretty sure it was announced with the other 'Journey to The Force Awakens' books last time around. Maybe they haven't got an author yet and want to wait until then. I'd be fine with Alan Dean Foster doing it again. I enjoyed his novelization for TFA.

That it will be the 4th worst movie in the series, which says little.
If I'm wrong, lock me in a cage with Jar Jar.
Edit: worst, not best. Er, rank 4 on a scale of 1 being lowest. Idkwhich way is the correct way to say it x_x

I'm kinda bummed that the Leia book isn't Del Rey. Any of them really cause it kills the uniformity of the hardcover editions, but Leia especially seems like it should have been one. Put it next to Tarkin so she can smell him.
Celebration certainly felt, less grand than I expected but that might be my fault more than anything for expecting too much. It was a solid show, I didnt come out of it more or less excited for TLJ really, very intrigued by the next time they show it though, want to get a handle on the tone.
