Star Wars Celebration Europe just got two new confirmed guests, neither of whom should be too much of a surprise.

Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and director of Rogue One Gareth Edwards will head to the convention in London, England on July 15, joining together for the opening panel of the convention. They'll be joined by "special guests," which if the past is any indication, means a whole bunch of castmembers from the film.

"Secret Mission? What plans? What are you talking about?" is the only - unattributed - quote in the press release.

At Star Wars Celebration Anaheim in 2015, Kennedy was joined by J.J. Abrams for the first panel of the show, where they trotted out castmembers, showed off the real-life BB-8, and, of course, revealed the second teaser trailer in front of about 4,500 fans.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is the first stand-alone film, taking place outside of the episodic structure that focuses on the Skywalker family. The movie will cover the group of rebels who stole the Death Star plans just prior to the first Star Wars film, as previously hinted at in that movie's opening crawl.
