It goes without saying that Star Wars will have a big presence at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, especially with The Force Awakens opening in December. Lucasfilm announced a whole slew of Star Wars-related panels, all taking place on the same day.
Although the convention runs from July 9-12, Friday, June 10 will essentially be “Star Wars Day” for the event. The main panel on The Force Awakens will take over Hall H that day, with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, director J.J. Abrams, writer Lawrence Kasdan and other guests discussing the new movie.
The rest of the panels announced today are:
Star Wars Publishing Part 1 with authors Alexandra Bracken, Adam Gidwitz, Tom Angleberger and Tony Diterlizzi talking about their books for a younger generation of readers with Lucasfilm’s Mike Siglain
Star Wars Publishing Part 2 features Siglain taking with other authors about their upcoming novels
Hasbro Star Wars has the Hasbro team ready to talk about the new Star Wars toys
Star Wars Collectibles Update features Lucasfilm’s Anita Castellar talking about collectibles by other companies, including Gentle Giant, Kotobukiya and Sideshow Collectibles
ILM 40th Anniversary will be a special celebration of Industrial, Light & Magic, one of the best known special effects teams in Hollywood
Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition will be a special event welcoming the Star Wars franchise to the world of the popular Disney Infinity game
