Star Wars director JJ Abrams and producer Kathleen Kennedy were at the Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, California, where they delighted fans with a new teaser for The Force Awakens, the new Star Wars film that will be released in December this year.
Fans got to see the cast, old and new (almost all of them anyway – Harrison Ford is still recovering from his plane crash earlier in March, JJ told us) and hear insights into the film that will come out around Christmas.
Here’s some of the new things were learned.
1. JJ Abrams has used practical sets
2. There is a new planet called Jaku or Jakoo, because we’re not too sure how to spell it
3. There are more female characters in the new film, yay
4. The stormtroopers have a new look
5. They’ve listened to the fans
6. A stormtrooper might work with an X pilot
7. There are new characters yet to be unveiled, according to JJ Abrams
8. The old cast is back
9. John Boyega IS playing a stormtrooper
10. We learned who Poe Dameron is
11. There’s a new robot
13…and R2-D2 has new friends
We can’t wait!
