Twitter has made a major push into live streaming over the past few months and it’s capitalizing on the release of the upcoming Star Wars spinoff to further push its agenda. The microblogging network has announced today that it’s going to power a streaming event in which the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story cast is going to do a live question and answer session.
The live stream itself will be hosted by People magazine and will even showcase some content from the film that hasn’t made its way into the trailers yet. The final trailer of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was only released a couple of days ago.
Twitter says that this Q&A session will be broadcast from a “surprise location,” and that the live stream will be accessible via all of its apps as well as RogueOne.twitter.com aside from the official Twitter accounts of People magazine and Star Wars.
The session will include Rogue One: A Star Wars Story cast members such as Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen and Alan Tudyk. Director Gareth Edwards, Lucasfilm President and producer Kathleen Kennedy will participate in the session as well.
Twitter users will be able to ask questions and the ones select will be answered live. The live streaming event is going to start at 10 AM PT on December 2nd. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story hits the big screen on December 16th.
