EW PopFest promised us first footage of the highly-anticipated Gilmore Girls revival, but we never could’ve imagine we’d be getting SIX brand new clips. Creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and executive producer Dan Palladino were on hand to introduce the snippets and offer some behind-the-scenes scoop.Â
But we know what you’re all here for: deets on the clips. Without further ado, here’s what we learned.
Lorelai and Rory are still talking about their underwear. This time, it’s Rory who isn’t wearing any, and Lorelai gets to deliver this winning line.
“I think any outfit you wear without underwear is going to be your lucky outfit.” Got big laughs at #EWPopFest #gilmoregirls @EW

We also got a sneak peek of the International Food Festival, where the most appealing item on the menu to Lorelai is the trash heap. Sounds about right.
Michel seemed a lot more pleasant while checking in guests at the Dragonfly, though he made his usual quips as they walked away. There’s the Michel we know and love.
Taylor angrily presides over a town meeting, living his best life as he discusses the B-listers who are staying at the Dragonfly while a movie films in nearby Woodbury. So it seems like Lorelai def still owns the Dragonfly and Luke still enjoys heckling Taylor to no end.
Luke has finally found his place at Friday night dinner, being grilled by Emily in Richard’s “woody” (as Luke describes it) office. She wants to know whether he’s got a will and if everything is in order should he die. So as we already knew, Luke and Lorelai are forever—but so forever that they need to be in each other’s wills? *This* is serious.
We will finally see what the Gilmore girls are like in summer, as the revival spends a full 90 minutes on the little-before-seen season. Lorelai and Rory are sunbathing at the Stars Hollow Municipal Pool, critiquing the bods of passersby and debating the cleanliness of public watering holes. Natch.
Needless to say, we are now even more eager to see Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life in its entirety. From what we have peeked so far, it is going to be well worth the wait.
