The Star Wars: The Last Jedi panel at the 2017 Star Wars Celebration will show the first trailer on Friday, April 14 from Orlando

With the Star Wars Celebration 40 Years of Star Wars panel taking place on Thursday, many fans were anxiously hoping that something about Star Wars: The Last Jedi would come about. The entire scene was lovely and featured numerous surprises, including even Harrison Ford. However, nothing was shown from Episode VIII. That, instead, will have to wait until The Last Jedi panel on Friday, April 14.

Though Star Wars: The Last Jedi comes to theaters in just about eight months, we’ve still yet to see anything from it. Fans are basically being tortured at this point (okay, not really). All anyone wants is just any kind of footage from the eighth installment in the saga. Luckily, all signs seem to point towards us getting that. Reports indicate that the first Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer will drop during The Last Jedi panel. Specifically, it will cap off the 1.5-hour panel.

From the official website of the Celebration, there are at least subtle hints at that being the case. Here’s the official synopsis of The Last Jedi panel, per the official website:

"Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy and Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson will appear on stage. There will be plenty of surprises and special guests on the panel to keep the excitement brewing and speculation spinning throughout the rest of the weekend."

We can obviously only speculate as the special guests, but you’d have to imagine that the likes of Daisy Ridley, Mark Hamill, Adam Driver and plenty of others will make appearances with Rian Johnson.

Obviously every fan would love to be in Orlando for the event, but that’s not possible. Luckily, we can watch all of it online. Details for the panel are below:

Date: Friday, April 14
Start Time: 11:00 a.m. ET (trailer reportedly around 12:30 p.m. ET)
Panel: “Star Wars: The Last Jedi”
Live Stream: StarWarsCelebration.com, YouTube

At long last, it appears we might finally get a trailer. With so much anticipation, you might say it’s impossible to live up to the hype. However, with how they’ve done everything to now, it might even exceed the hype.
