Yesterday was the end of the 2015 San Diego Comic Con, the biggest event of the year for announcing all the news for pop culture, movies, television, comics, etc. The Disney Insider recapped the Star Wars Panel and I wanted to share it with you.
We weren’t quite sure what we’d get to share with you from today’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens panel at San Diego Comic-Con, but this nearly four-minute reel of behind the scenes footage is so much more than we were hoping for. The video showcases the real sets, practical effects, and of course, the filmmaking talent that has us counting down the days until release.
If you weren’t lucky enough to be there, relive the panel, and the surprise concert that followed, in all its glory:
