Star Wars Celebration kicked off in Chicago today with a panel dedicated to Star Wars: Episode IX — now officially titled The Rise of Skywalker. Host / moderator Stephen Colbert was joined by director J.J. Abrams, Kathleen Kennedy, and a number of the cast as they talked about where the story starts off, Finn and Poe’s shipping, BB-8’s new friends, new characters, lots of concept art, and of course a teaser trailer.
