As expected, there will indeed be a Star Wars: Episode IX panel taking place at Celebration Chicago.
The news was officially announced on the latest edition of the Star Wars Show, where it was confirmed that director J.J. Abrams and Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy would take the stage on April 12 to field questions about the highly-anticipated final installment in the Skywalker Saga. Of course, those in attendance can also count on a few surprises and special guests.
Whether one of those surprises turns out to be the first trailer for the movie remains to be seen, but at the very least, we should get a title reveal either during or just before the panel.
Star Wars Celebration Chicago will take place April 11-15 at McCormick Place.
