Looks "evolved", which was what I was hoping for.  Making joints less clunky and clanky, and uncomfortable for the wearer.  Making essentially more effective armor without radical redesigning from ROTJ to this point...  Star Wars and things evolving tends to be at a glacial pace, and it looks like TFA is taking a similar stance.  I love it.

More promo images have leaked out from Celebration, and the doors aren't even open yet.  Check out some of these images of Kylo Ren, what may be Captain Phasma and the new look for the Stormtroopers.  There's even a glimpse of a new type of Imperial Shuttle:

I'm really glad that they decided to livestream the presentation.  And from looking at the program schedule it seems that they're not only holding the presentation in a single hall, but they're also simulcasting it in other event halls throughout the convention center.  So where in past Celebrations maybe only 3000 or so very lucky people who could get into that hall got to see the presentation, now almost everyone will get a chance to see the presentation as it happens.  And streaming it live is fantastic for those of us who couldn't make it to this Celebration.

Between listening to local sports radio for #mnwild playoffs coverage and waiting for this JJ Panel to start streaming, I'm essentially 100% ineffective at work today...  :-[

I was trying to sync my iPad with my flatscreen with the YouTube app, but I got a message in the app saying that the Force Awakens event would not be viewable on that device (the flatscreen).  What gives?

Work, what work??  ::)

That was a kick ass panel to start things off right. Desert planet of Jacoo!

And that new trailer....OMG, I can't wait 8 more months!

Vader's melted helmet is my new wallpaper. Total badassery!

I am so glad that I had today off.  I would have gotten NOTHING done at work today.

It was fantastic to see the cast onstage together.  R2-D2 looks fantastic, but I am really astounded by the fact that they built a functional BB-8.  Just amazing!

And the trailer?  Whoa.  Where to start?  Crashed Star Destroyers?  The new Stormtroopers?  Leia being handed Luke's original lightsaber?  The Falcon in action?  Luke meditating and providing the voiceover?  Kylo Ren?  But the capper was clearly Han Solo and Chewbacca back aboard the Falcon.

Some crazy Disney tech come to life it sounded like. Amazing that he could roll around like that.  Really, really cool little droid - and much smaller than I was expecting too.

When they brought out BB-8 on stage - that was just amazing. The fact that he can roll around and move his head in such an expressive manner is really amazing.

And the new teaser - WOW. I got misty-eyed when, what was most likely Luke, reached out and put his hand on R2's dome.

The only thing that sucks is that the new trailer means that the leaked script/concept art from last fall WAS real. Gotta stay away from anything new that leaks.
