Star WarsCelebration has officially kicked off and things have been absolutely amazing already. We’ve had a 40th anniversary panel and, most importantly, theStar Wars: The Last Jedipanel, which finally gave us the trailer we’ve all been dying to see. But there is a lot more going on this weekend and up next is theHeroines of Star Warspanel. You can live stream it right now.
Not everyone can make it down to Orlando, Florida forStar Wars Celebration, but Disney and Lucasfilm have fans all around the world covered. They arelive streamingall of the biggest panels and events throughout the entire weekend and that includes the Heroines ofStar Warspanel. As any fan of the franchise well knows, strong female characters have been a huge part ofStar Warsever since the very beginning and this panel will cover all of the strong ladies in a galaxy far, far away. Here is how theStar WarsCelebration website is describing the panel.
“Strong female charactersare central to the “Star Wars” universe. From Leia to Padmé, Rey, Jyn, Sabine and Ahsoka, each has become a fan favorite around the globe. Join Dave Filoni, Lucasfilm Story Group’s Carrie Beck, Ashley Eckstein (“Ahsoka”) and Tiya Sircar (“Sabine”) for a talk about the importance of these role models, how they have inspired generations and where we might see them next!”
Dating back to Princess Leia inStar Wars: A New Hope, strong, dynamic female characters have been front-and-center in theStar Warsmovies. Sadly,Carrie Fisheris no longer with us, but her presence and impact will be felt for years to come and she will surely have a presence at this panel. In the new movies, the legacy of strong female characters have continued, with Rey (Daisy Ridley) inStar Wars: The Force AwakensandStar Wars: The Last Jedi, and with Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) inRogue One: A Star Wars Story. But as teased in the panel description, the legacy of strong female characters also extends to the animated universe with characters likeAhsokaand Sabine.Ashley EcksteinandTiya Sircarwill be on hand to talk about that legacy and what it means to be a strong female character in theStar Warsuniverse. Plus,Dave Filoni, the man behindStar Wars: The Clone WarsandStar Wars Rebels, will be on hand, which is always a good thing.
Star Wars Celebration2017 takes place in Orlando, Florida from now through Sunday at the Orange County Convention Center. But if you may’t make it, don’t worry. The panels will be live streamed all weekend and we will have the ones you won’t want to miss here for you.
