Star Wars Episode 9 panel: Watch the title, the trailer for Celebration Chicago

The circle will be soon complete – Star Wars Episode 9The title of this movie is The Rise of Skywalker, and you can follow the big unveiling.

The latest film of the Skywalker saga was first shown in a panel at Star Wars Celebration Chicago, where the title, the first trailer and the poster should be revealed.

Director J.J. Abrams and Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy will come to an end month of fan speculation and give us some great tips on the movie.

The panel is set to air on StarWars.com and the Star Wars YouTube channel, which airs at 9:00 am Paris time. ET and 5 pm UNITED KINGDOM. We will update this message with the details of the panel as they appear. Until now, a first photo of the film has seen the scene, showing the beginnings of a new adventure.

Abrams said he was currently in the editing and visual effects phase of the film, but that he had been laughing at the plot.

"This film talks about this new generation and what they inherited, light and darkness," said Abrams, apparently evoking Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega), Poe (Oscar Issac) and Kylo Ren. (Adam Driver)

Abrams noted that the new movie will not run immediately after The Last Jedi, but that Carrie Fisher's Leia will be part of the story, as previously confirmed.

"You do not remake this part and you do not make it disappear," said Abrams, pointing out that they had found a way to work with her, even though she was no longer with us. "And if we could write scenes around her," said the director about the process to find a way to include Leia in the film.

Billy Dee Williams, cast member of Legacy, took the floor to point out that his character Lando had never left and that joining the new film was a surprise. He also brought a look at himself in one of Lando's showy outfits.

Naomi Ackie joined the scene with the cast to reveal her new character named Jana. Although we know very little about it, she teased that she would be in a "bad adventure" with the characters. When moderator Stephen Colbert asked if his character was Lando's daughter, as has been said, she neither confirmed nor denied.

"Lando is a very charming man, so he can have children all over the world," teased Ackie.

John Boyega revealed that thanks to the time jump, Finn would now become a full-fledged Resistance fighter with a new haircut.

But with regard to his longtime foe, Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie), Boyega has confirmed his closure. "Phasma yeah, she's dead," Boyega said.

In a new photo of the film, we see Oscar's poe Isaac getting closer to his best friend Finn. Isaac remarks that the friendship between the two is very serious.

A new white outfit for Rey was revealed when Daisy Ridley spoke at the Star Wars celebration. Daisy Ridley pointed out that even though her character had taken over the Jedi texts from Ahch-To, everything she had read was in the air.

"As we have seen that these books are quite large, she may have started," Ridley teased. She diverted the question of whether she had new powers in the Force.

Ridley, however, revealed that Luke Skywalker's lightsaber had survived The Last Jedi, so it looks like the object is coming back.

And a look at Kylo Ren's Adam Driver was also teased, with Ridley revealing that scenes involving Kylo will keep the character dressed, as opposed to the shirtless telepathic conversations they had in The Last Jedi.

And BB-8 will have a new friend in the form of the Dio droid, who has performed on the Celebration Chicago stage.

Star Wars: Episode 9 premieres on December 19 in the United Kingdom and December 20 in the United States and Australia, if you want to catch up or revisit the saga in the meantime, see our guide watch all movies online in chronological order.
