With the anticipation for Star Wars Rebels, I imagine fans are as hungry for news from Star Wars Celebration Europe II as I am. While StarWars.com did provide a liveblog, it didn’t quite satiate my appetite. Thankfully there was more coverage provided by those in attendance via Twitter, including Caravan of the Force, Mark Newbold from Jedi News, TheForce.Net and The Star Wars Underworld. Here’s a recap of their coverage.
