‘Star Wars’ Cosplay Convention 2015: Oscar Isaac Calls His 'Star Wars 7' Character the 'Best Frickin' Pilot in the Galaxy' & More Movie Details
A new teaser-trailer has emerged across the internet and "Star Wars" fans all around the globe have nearly wept in response to seeing Han Solo (Harrison Ford) next to his long-time friend and co-pilot saying, "Chewie, we're home."
But for die-hard fans that attended the "Star Wars" celebration in Anaheim last weekend, that trailer was among so many other pleasing details that were being released.
As reported by A.V. Club, the panel, which could have been the most highly anticipated day of the event, featured director J.J. Abrams, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and cast members, old and new.
The panel was actually streamed online at StarWars.com, so most got a minute-by-minute account of what was being said, which included commentary and updates for the films and other "Star Wars" universe films, which included "Star Wars: Rogue One."
A.V. Club noted that when the new trio of actors -- Oscar Isaac, Daisy Ridley and John Boyega -- took the stage, they were allowed to talk a little about their new characters.
Ridley spoke of her character as a scavenger from the salvage yard. Although vague, it was somewhat revealing for the role she played.
Issac, who plays Poe Dameron, could only describe his character as "the best frickin' pilot in the galaxy," which was also revealing, as if the character is somehow a stark contrast to Ford's (younger) Han Solo.
Boyega, who plays Finn, described his character as one who is in "incredible danger." He says the way Finn reacts to the danger is what thrusts him into the Star Wars universe, as if it gave him the necessary credentials.
According to ABC, Mark Hamill, who was originally approached by George Lucas in regards to the plans to move forward with the trilogy, was more or less drafted into doing the film, as opposed to actually having a choice.
In his address to the fans at the panel, Hamill said, "Could you imagine if for some reason I said 'I don't think I want to do it?' I would have all of you surrounding my house like villagers, angry villagers with light sabers instead of torches."
