Throw your lightsabers in the air, because this is something worth celebrating. Friday marks the second of the four-day Star Wars Celebration, the official franchise convention, and with it we're getting our first photos from Star Wars VIII. And next to the incredibly vague trailer, behind-the-scenes images of The Last Jedi have been revealed at the official Last Jedi panel, and though they for-better-or-for-worse offer no spoilers, they do provide us with a small sense of comfort.

On my end, that's partially because a lot of them prominently feature Princess (sorry, General) Leia herself, Carrie Fisher. When Fisher suddenly passed away at the end of 2016, it left a huge, huge hole in franchise, as well as my heart. I'm barely coping without her, so I don't know how the Star Wars family will be getting by... CGI magic nonwithstanding. So these images, while they're sparse, paint a black-and-white, grainy picture of a happier time.

Plus, it looks like everyone was properly refreshed during the filming of Star Wars VIII. I'm glad there's no shortage of cafes across the galaxy.

Anyway, I won't keep you. Scroll down for a quick look into the filming of The Last Jedi before you go back to rewatching that very, very vague trailer.
