The force was present on the second day of the event

May 4 and Imperial March It starts to sound because every good fan of Star Wars knows that this has been selected to be the official day of the saga, a day in which yes or yes, the force must be on your side and of course in CCXP Mexico could not go unnoticed.

And this plot may have been written many years ago in a galaxy far, far away, but the truth is that its story, its characters and, above all, its teachings have resonated so much in the hearts of thousands of fans that this universe It has not stopped expanding, and year after year it conquers new recruits, which for more than four decades has led it to achieve its own day.

Before this celebration, on the second day of this great event, thousands of fans came dressed as characters like Darth Vader, Darth Maul and Princess Leia, armed with Jedi tunics, lightsabers and lots of Baby Yodas everywhere, but they were not the only ones who came ready for the occasion, but all the stands around them that offered all kinds of merch allusive.

As in the case of the Devils, this baseball team took advantage of the space and date to launch their collection with Star Warswhere you could find your own Darth Maul jersey, sweatshirts and caps.

And of course, in the panels this also had to be commemorated, which is why yesterday the meeting opened with The Acolytethe new series from this universe and to tell a little about it, it was Dafne Keen who arrived at the Thunder Stage as the first guest of the day.

I’ve been a super fan (of the saga) since I was little, so since I got the call (that it was selected) I was like: ‘I’m not going to get crazy, okay? I’m going to hide it. But I do feel very honored.

I saw it with my father when I was about seven years old in a video theater and immediately after I rented all the others, I watched a marathon that day and from then on I became obsessed,” Keen shared.

The new plot will take us about 100 years before the nine episodes of the films were told. The best thing of all? It will talk about the beginnings of how the dark side was formed in a terrain never before explored.

It seems to me that this gave us a lot of creative freedom and it seemed like a very interesting time because we have not seen that moment in which the Jedi really were almost a military body,” said Keen, who took the opportunity to apologize on behalf of his partner Amandla. Stenberg, who in the end could not attend because he felt bad, but in his absence offered a small clip of the series as consolation.

The first two episodes of the new Disney+ show will hit the screen on June 4.

Although yesterday was all about this saga, Disney also took the opportunity to monopolize the advertisements and followed by this panel came Planet of the Apesa saga that, due to its theme, full of drama, morals and a lot of action, has also managed to win over the audience and now arrives seven years later with a new story with Planet of the Apes: New Kingdom.

Set several generations in the future after Caesar’s reign, this story now begins in a setting where apes are the dominant species and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. As a new tyrannical ape leader attempts to raise his empire, a young ape embarks on a journey that will lead him to question everything he knows about the past and make decisions that will define the future for apes and humans alike.

Freya Allan, Owen Teague and Kevin Durand star in this new twist on the saga now directed by Wes Ball. Allan and Ball were the figures invited to talk about it.

The first one came out a year after I was born, so I grew up with this and those images and ideas stayed in my mind and we wanted to honor and respect what was made, it’s the tenth film in a legacy that has been built over more than 20 years, so everything comes from the love you have for this film.

Director Fede Álvarez shared his vision for Alien: Romulos.

And personally what I like about this is that it is a story of young people learning how to reanalyze what is the best path and the potentials of the future and I think that is the beautiful thing about stories, that they imply a change and although it is not intended to be something to leave “There is a lesson, I think so, humans are the largest predators on the planet and it reminds you that with great power comes great responsibility and it is a bit the same, it reminds us of what is really important,” highlighted the filmmaker.

But if suspense is more your thing then you can’t miss the next premiere of Alien: Romulusthe seventh installment of this science fiction and horror saga that takes us back to explore the origins of aliens when a group of young explorers come face to face with one of the most fearsome threats in the entire universe.

For this panel the director Fede Álvarez himself, who came to talk about his love for the phenomenon and his desire to bring back terror to it.

Freya Allan talked about Planet of the Apes: New Kingdom.

What I always loved is that unlike other sagas, this is one of directors, each one has a different one who gave it their own style, and what I wanted to do was take it to the beginning so that for me a movie is made. horror, because it seems to me that it grew so much that it became more science fiction, adventure and I like dark corridors, so I wanted to bring horror back to Alien“, reported Álvarez, who assured that he was also in charge of doing it under the mechanism old school in which, beyond making use of special effects, he strove to create terror in the flesh with creatures made in physics and make the set a house of scares that created genuine performances.

In short, if his film is about anything, it is simply about scares and awakening the sense of survival.

It doesn’t come from a philosophy about being human and life, but simply that you don’t want to die, it’s about human survival and how far you would fight to get ahead if you faced the biggest monster, that’s really what you know. “it’s about” he pointed out with a laugh.
