With Marvel apparently
ditching this year's San Diego Comic Con, some feared that Star Wars would
follow and skip it. Luckily, that does not seem to be the case now that Lucasfilm
has announced that things will kick off for the franchise with a Star Wars: The
Force Awakens Hall H panel on Friday, July 10, where Lucasfilm president and
producer Kathleen Kennedy, director J.J. Abrams, writer Lawrence Kasdan, and
special guests will be on hand to talk and hopefully show some new content from
the highly anticipated film.
