She was introduced in Kieron Gillen's Darth Vader comic and now has her own book, also written by him.
Winner of the most obscure cosplay - Hux in his workout gear from Lego Star Wars.

Han Solo if Han had no morals and cared only for himself.
They should still have had a convention next year, just remember there were no movies to promote between the wait of clone wars movie - eps 7, yet they still had cons) overall i feel like fans like interacting with each other and buying merch and celeb meet n greets/signings.
There is so much content they could put in a Convention even without one particular movie)
They could have filled it with
Filoni's next project (early concept teasers, or if not bring him even to talk about Rebels)
Games (Any Battlefront dlc, whatever games are due out, apps etc)
Comics/Books
Sound and music (let us see the freaking panel, spend some good time on it)
Toys (The Vintage 2018 range etc)
Art
Panels with the Stars (now theres no big movie to promote they could extend these a bit longer for instance what was Tudyk onstage for maybe 15-20 mins? Make this now 45 mins)
Updates on how the Park is going.
Put out the freakin 4K Blurays (no matter what state despecialized, specials, bluray to 4k versions whatever edition, just bring these out and you could have a panel talking about the process people would want to see)
Announce there is more movies in the works next year, and then say we will tell you more in 2019

Well maybe they'll take the time to plan and organize a lot better.

I was at the first Celebration in 1999 and it was a clusterfuck, so I wouldn't hold your breath for change.

Oh. She's cute. Evil I guess but cute.
Yeah I remember seeing her and Darth Vader in a commercial for a mobile game! I just didn't know who she was til now!
She was introduced in Kieron Gillen's Darth Vader comic and now has her own book, also written by him.
Han Solo cancelled
If it comes out in May and IX is December 2019 it will be a long wait.
This is why everyone should read Darth Vader.

She's not but Triple Zero is.

The droids were literally the only thing worthwhile from the Vader comic. If TAK had hyped them up instead I'd be in a much more difficult spot.
Everything about that comic is beautiful.
in b4 Bobby goes on about the writer :snore:

3rd Celebration, it's pretty much the same show, just more crowded. Last one in Orlando topped off at 35k attendees on one day, this one had 50k on multiple sold out days.
Not much in the form of big announcements either, outside the trailer for TLJ, there wasn't much new that came out of the show that really blew anyone away, and alot of the usual product announcements companies made were kinda just expected or usual Star Wars fare. And TLJ panel was nothing special as it was kind of been here done that. While with TFA, it was the return of Star Wars, all the new actors, tons of excitement.
London was not much better, it was just a smaller venue/event so it wasn't as bad, but the lines were brutal and security was similar in making people go all the way around the building of the convention to wait in huge line to get in through security.
After Thursday in Orlando they kinda didn't give a fuck anymore, you could walk into the convention center from multiple entrances quick and easy.

I loved the Vader comic because Vader got to be sassy as heck. I would've liked the droid more if the R2/3PO parallel wasn't so on the nose. Heck there are established droids that torture people in canon why just recolour a protocol droid?
To attack in disguise. I mean it makes sense, but the parallels were to on the nose.

Sucks that we didn't get something like this for Celebration this year:

It should be mandatory that any actors on these panels HAVE to be in costume. Would be way more fun (for me)
