If you watch this now, you shall become even nerdier than you can possibly imagine (jk, it's 2015, nerds are jocks now).
Today is the start of Star Wars Celebration 2015 in Anaheim, CA. Of course, with a new Star Wars movie coming this year, the event couldn't possibly happen without dropping some big gifts for the fans. If they tried that, there would be an unprecedented uproar, millions of voices crying out in agony and never being silenced. It would be like Episode II all over again.
J.J. Abrams is too smart to make that mistake, so at the end of today's panel discussion, he gave us what we've all been waiting for: a new teaser trailer. And it's a good one, featuring tons of ships, new lightsabers, and one shot at the end that brought a tear to more than one of our staffers' eyes.
The panel also featured other highlights, like a cast reunion, an onstage appearance of that adorable BB-8 droid with R2D2, and Anthony Daniels misidentifying his character as CP3O.
CP3O? Really? I'm going to have to watch this thing 40 more times to get over that.
