This weekend , a galaxy far , far aside comes to London , England , for Star Wars Celebration Europe . It ’s a three - day , prescribed Star Wars convention and we anticipate lots of awesome thing to happen there — but most of all , we expect to learn a great deal about Episode VIII , Rogue One , the Han Solo movie , and more .
Actually , we ’re hop for even more than that . So we come up with a convenient listing — our Star Wars Celebration wishlist , if you will . take note : the convening is in London , but we ’ve exchange the panel time to EST . If you want local time , supply five hours .
1) What’s the title of Star Wars: Episode VIII?
Director Rian Johnson will be on manus at Celebration , fresh off roll Episode VIII . There ’s a good prospect he ’ll show some form of very , very teaser - wye footage from the film ( like the announcement TV above ) but what we really expect is the film ’s form of address . Lucasfilm announced that Episode VII was “ The Force Awakens ” a little over a yr before opening . We ’re further than that from Episode VIII ( it opens December 2017 ) , but it ’s a simple piece of information that fans would go absolutely nuts over while not taking aside from the main focal point of the conventionalism , Rogue One : A Star Wars Story .
When it could happen : Future Filmmaker Discussion Panel & Closing Ceremony , July 17 , 10 - 11:30am
2) What exactly is Darth Vader doing in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story?
We have it off for a fact that Darth Vader is in Rogue One . We also know that we ’re getting a new trailer for Rogue One during the pattern . Simply articulate “ A raw Rogue One trailer ” feels like cheat , though , so we ’re going to hope that the laggard explains what Vader ’s part in the film is . He , of course , is n’t much different than he ’ll be in A New Hope , but to see him on the fully grown concealment again is hold up to be a thrill no matter what .

3) When will we get the official introduction of Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo?
In addition to Rian Johnson , directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller are going to be at Celebration to talk about their 2018 Star Wars Story focalize on Han Solo . Everyone in the earth knows that they ’ve already cast their Han , Alden Ehrenreich , but Lucasfilm has yet to officially foretell it . We expect Ehrenreich will be revealed as the young Han , be on hand , and perhaps even talk about the role . In gain , it would be awful to get this film ’s deed but , that ’s probably a long shot .
4) What will be the post-Episode IX solo movie?
This is the biggest long barb on the listing . Lucasfilm loves to get out the great unwashed excited at the closing ceremonies , and an Episode VIII claim or Han Solo casting would for certain do that . But , if they ’re quick , would n’t it be cool if they assure us what the 2020 Star Wars Story was going to be ? Is it really a Boba Fett movie written by Simon Kinberg ? perhaps but , even if it is , this is more likely a reveal for D23 Expo 2017 or Star Wars Celebration 2017 . A buff can woolgather , though .
5) What will be the final Battlefront DLC?
Since its release last year , Star Wars Battlefront has been chugging along with new maps set across the galaxy , from Tatooine to Cloud City , and presently to the Death Star itself . But EA have maintain its backtalk sealed about the final piece of DLC for the secret plan due later this year — and after the ship’s company caused disappointment by let out it would n’t feature elements and preferences from The Force Awakens , fan turned to their next ripe Bob Hope : Rogue One mental object , as the new flick is dress in the original trilogy timeline Battlefront adheres to .
Could gamers be stomping around locations from the first Star Wars anthology later this yr ? We ’re not sure yet , but we ’d love to .

6) What’s the logline for the final book in the Aftermath trilogy?
The second ledger entry in Chuck Wendig ’s Aftermath trilogy has only just arrive out this hebdomad , but itset the stagefor an challenging finale that can only give us even more tinge about the state of the galaxy after the event of Return of the Jedi . How did the New Republic come about ? When did Luke start train new Jedi ? What ’s up with the Imperial Remnant , lurk about on the bound of the galax ? The final ledger in the series could deliver some Brobdingnagian revelations for Disney ’s new canon , and the logline could give us the first clew .

7) What happened to Ashoka after the Clone Wars?
Ahsoka might have exist throughout the rise of the Empire , but we still do n’t know a lot about her life between the final stage of her meter on Clone Wars to her appearance in Star Wars Rebels . A mass must have happened for Ahsoka to become the adult female she is by the sentence she campaign Vader in Rebels ’ heroic second season finale , and we ’re dying to know more about her journeying .

8) What happened to Ashoka after last season’s finale of Rebels?
That ’s not it for Ahsoka information . We might instruct how she got to the sentence of Star Wars Rebels , but we desperately need to know if she survived her time on the show , watch her nebulous exit in Rebels ’ season two finale . Did she really survive her encounter with Vader . If so , has it deepen her ? Can we expect to see her again , or is she on her own track once more ? We ’re gon na need some answers .
When it could find : Star Wars Rebels Season 3 Panel , July 16th , 11am-1pm
9) What comic will take Darth Vader’s place?
Star Wars comedian at Marvel are about to recruit a foreign position — while the main monthly series will trundle on , and serial publication like Poe Dameron set up stories beyond the original trilogy , arguably the greatest part of Marvel ’s Star Wars yield , Darth Vader , is coming to an ending .
https://gizmodo.com/marvels-darth-vader-comic-will-be-ending-at-issue-25-1776460044
While we ’re sadden this excellent comic is come to a close in a handful of months , it go away us unrestrained for what could have the intimidating chore of take its post as a unexampled Marvel monthly serial . Could we get another comic stage set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens ? Could the Rogue One funny raise again after beingseemingly scrapped ? Who knows , Lobot might get his own miniseries . Whatever happens , we require to know what happens next .

10) What will the Rogue One Lego sets include?
see , Star Wars might be about the grand outer space opera house , but it ’s equally about the toys at this point , too . And we want all of them . Mostly , with Rogue One on the way this year , we want to see what Lego have got ready up for Jyn Erso and her friends .
Could we all be building LegoAT - ACTscome Winter ? Our notecase are already quiver with care .

https://gizmodo.com/ezras-got-a-new-look-and-a-new-lightsaber-in-the-first-1783611238
He ’s not just dumbfound scant , cropped fuzz , or a new green lightsaber . He ’s matured , and seemingly become a fleck more sullen and a bit darker . Rebels ’ season finish teased Ezra heading down a dark path with him open up the Sith holocron in its concluding moments , but now that Maul has made his presence feel in the wandflower again , could he have more to do with the young man and his new attitude ?
12) How does Kanan’s blindness affect him?
On top of Ezra ’s own issuance , his wise man has a pretty major one to deal with himself : he ’s now blind following his affaire d’honneur with Darth Maul . A grievous wound is bad enough , but lose your flock ? That ’s start out ta be fierce , even for a Jedi .
How Kanan navigates the world around him is going to be a major direction chemise for the character in Rebels ’ next season , as he trust on the Force to become his guide on hand — how that could change his expectation on the Rebellion , and his family relationship with the crew of the Ghost , has us intrigue .
13) What words of wisdom will Carrie Fisher impart to us?
Carrie Fisher , wherever she appears — usually floating down from above like the world ’s most sarcastic and humorous godlike messenger , surrounded by squadron ofcryptic twitter emoji — is golden , and her solo panel at Celebration are no exception . Even if it ’s conversant tales , or Modern ones from the sets of Episode VIII and The Force Awakens , we ca n’t hold back to be in her front and hear the mirth for ourselves .
