Star Wars Celebration Europe started off with a bang on Friday with the highly anticipated Rogue One: A Star Wars Story panel. The event was full of surprises, including an appearance by the full cast and creators, a visit from the film's villain, Director Krennic, and an amazing behind the scenes sizzle reel. In addition to all of that, we got tons of news information, photos and even a clip. The SWU team, including Chris Seekell and Dominic Jones, were there in the room to report back on everything they saw and have helped us compile an extensive recap of the panel. You can check it all out below:

It's also worth noting that even though the recorded version of the panel has yet to be added to the official Star Wars YouTube channel, Flicks and the City has shared their own highlight video from the panel. It should be know that at around 22:00 Jiang Wen drops a massive Rogue spoiler. If you don't want to know the fate of one of the characters, you had best steer clear of that portion of the video. This is your official SPOILER WARNING:
