We Star Wars fans, sci-fi enthusiasts, and just nerds in general do this kind of thing every year, multiple times a year if we’re being perfectly honest, but over the course of the last year, this day has come to mean even more to us. Fans at Celebrations experience four days filled with engaging entertainment, celebrity appearances, stage shows, panels, interactive events, special shopping, screenings and exclusive Star Wars sneak peeks into the future of the epic saga. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games, The LEGO Group and Lucasfilm have released a new trailer for their upcoming “LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens” video game.
