We should be getting a new Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens trailer today

Han and Leia expected to feature

On Thursday 16 April at 10am PT (6pm BST), Star Wars : The Force Awakens director JJ Abrams is due to open Star Wars Celebration at the Anaheim Convention Center in California.

He'll head up a panel featuring numerous "special guests" and a few surprises – one of which is likely to be a second trailer.

If the rumours are to be believed it will feature some big first looks, including the return of Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher as Han Solo and Princess Leia.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in cinemas on 18 December, 2015.
