Attendees at the D23 Expo went wild during the live-action film panel. I should know, I was one of them. Fans got to see the opening sequence of Jon Favreau’s live-action Lion King film (I got goosebumps), and a new trailer for Avengers: Infinity War showcasing the might of Thanos. Star Wars fans were also in for a treat when the cast and director Rian Johnson took to the stage for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. There were many fans hoping for a new trailer, but what they got was still exciting with a new behind-the-scenes video.

Rian Johnson made an appearance along with Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Kelly Marie Tran, Laura Dern and Benicio Del Toro. Gwendoline Christie also appeared on stage, and I am very excited to see her returning as Captain Phasma. (Here’s hoping she’ll actually be able to kick ass unlike her part in The Force Awakens.)
The first half of the video features Ridley and Hamill talking about how they’re surprised at the direction of the story.
Hamill said, “Even though I think I know it all, they throw things at me story-wise I never could have imagined.”
“And even though everybody knows it’s the second in the trilogy, it feels like its own thing,” said Ridley.
Also, Boyega makes fun of Johnson’s Wookiee sound and Fisher talks about how the film’s about family. (That part got me all emotional.) Check out the behind-the-scenes video below.
