The first trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi is expected very soon. It has been reported that the trailer will debut at the franchise's annual Celebration event in Orlando, Florida later this week.

According to Star Wars News Net, the trailer will be more than just a short teaser. The site tweeted the following, and subsequently confirmed that this had been verified by sources close to the movie.

A Last Jedi panel is taking place on Friday at Celebration, with director Rian Johnson and Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy confirmed to appear. A variety of cast members are also expected to attend. For those unable to attend to event, the panel will be broadcast live on StarWars.com at 11am ET.

Very little is known about the film's plot. In January, Johnson spoke about the tone, stating, "I want it to be a blast and to be funny and to be a ride the way The Force Awakens and the original Star Wars movies were."

Some of Last Jedi's actors have said the movie will be "darker" than The Force Awakens, while Disney CEO Bob Iger said recently that he's seen a cut of the movie and says it's "great."

The Last Jedi arrives in theaters on December 15, 2017. It stars Daisy Ridley, Mark Hamill, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Laura Dern, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie, and Andy Serkis. Carrie Fisher filmed her Leia scenes for the movie before she passed away in December.

GameSpot will be attending Celebration this weekend, so check back for full coverage of the various panels and events.
