Star Wars Celebration is finally here, and thanks to The Force Awakens, there is so much to be excited about. Potentially the first truly great Star Wars movie in more than thirty years is scheduled for release later this year. Excitement is at a fever pitch, and there should be a ton of big reveals today. You can watch the panel live below...

The Star Wars Celebration is kicking off today. Those of us who can't be in Anaheim for the festivities won't be completely left out. The Force Awakens Panel is streaming live in the video above. Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams is expected to appear in the hour-long panel, along with producer Kathleen Kennedy and special guests.

Assistant Managing Editor

Kelly put her life-long love of movies, TV and books to greater use when she joined CinemaBlend as a freelance TV news writer in 2006, and went on to serve as the site’s TV Editor before joining the staff full-time in 2011 and moving over to other roles at the site. At present, she’s an Assistant Managing Editor who spends much of her time brainstorming and editing features, analyzing site data, working with writers and editors on content planning and the workflow, and (of course) continuing to obsess over the best movies and TV shows (those that already exist, and the many on the way). She graduated from SUNY Cortland with BA in Communication Studies and a minor in Cinema Studies. When she isn't working, she's probably thinking about work, or reading (or listening to a book), and making sure her cats are living their absolute best feline lives.
