“The Force” was with Boba Fett, C-3PO, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, Wicket, Emperor Palpatine, C-3PO and Luke Skywalker, on Thursday afternoon. The actors behind the 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? The annual Lucasfilm-sponsored Star Wars Celebration. This year the fanfest is being held in Essen, Germany.
Of course, none of the cast were allowed to talk about Star Wars Episode VII, set to arrive in theatres 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.
