The Star Wars Seven: Return of the Jedi Cast Reunited

The Force was with Boba Fett, C-3PO, Chewbacca, Emperor Palpatine, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Wicket the Ewok Thursday. The actors behind these seven iconic Return of the Jedi characters were reunited on stage for the first time since Star Wars Episode VI was released — all of 30 years and two months ago.

The occasion? Star Wars Celebration, the annual Lucasfilm-sponsored fanfest. This year it's being held in Essen, Germany. It's only the second time in its 14-year history that Celebration has been held on the European side of the Atlantic.

None of the cast were allowed to talk about Star Wars Episode VII, set to arrive in 2015. It is, however, an open secret (revealed months ago by George Lucas himself) that Hamill and Fisher, along with Harrison Ford, will be returning to reprise their roles.

Check out the gallery below for more photos from the press preview — and check back later for more Force-filled pictures from Celebration itself.
