13 Important Things to Know From Star Wars Celebration13 of 13
No New Updates on the Upcoming Standalone Films
There was nothing disclosed by Kathleen Kennedy or others about the upcoming standalone movie projects. At last year's Celebration in London, Kennedy shared plenty with fans about the Han Solo movie, ceding the stage to the directors and star of that film. This time around, there was nothing – neither about Han Solo nor the third standlone, whose storyline and main characters have yet to be confirmed. Looks like we'll likely have to wait until this summer, at D23, for the earliest opportunity to learn more.
As for what we can expect in these two forthcoming standalones, expect Lucasfilm to keep moving in more ambitious directions. Kennedy confessed that Rogue One was a big risk for the studio – but one that has clearly paid off in spades, thanks to the popular and critical reception the movie received. She told fans that the success of that film gave her and other execs "a lot of confidence to keep going in the direction they're going."
