It’s all said and done now. Star Wars Celebration Europe has ended, and it went out with a bang. The Future Filmmakers Panel featured Kathleen Kennedy, Kiri Hart, Rian Johnson, Phil Lord, Chris Miller, Alden Ehrenreich, John Boyega, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill. The all-star panel was moderated by Pablo Hidalgo, and featured glimpses into the making of Episode VIII, and brief looks at both Rogue One and the untitled Han Solo project.
Now, there was very little in the way of imagery – just a few behind-the-scenes photos from Episode VIII that we haven’t seen before from Rian Johnson, and a couple from Rogue One – specifically, of Ram Bergman and Rian Johnson as Death Squad Commanders in the Death Star’s firing chamber, and Phil Lord and Chris Miller as extras on Jedda. But as I worked through my notes, I discovered that there were some interesting things within the material, if you paid close enough attention.
Have a listen, and if you were in the panel and have additional insights that I didn’t document, please share them in the comments!
