SDCC: Star Wars Panel To Be Broadcast on G4
For the first time ever, a major panel at San Diego Comic-Con is going to be broadcast on television; specifically on G4.
Airing on Saturday, July 25th at 2:00 pm (ET/PT), The Star Wars Spectacular will feature never before seen footage, breaking news, some surprise announcements, guest stars and more. G4 will also present three-hours of live footage from the Comic-Con floor, beginning at 4:00 pm (ET/PT).
This is a major first, not just for Comic-Con, but also for the Lucasfilm.
From StarWars.comTraditionally, details surrounding Lucasfilm’s primary panel presentation are closely guarded secrets, with only 6,500 lucky on-site fans allowed access to the wealth of coveted information from a galaxy far, far away. But this year, G4 — the network that delivers all of the latest and greatest news on comic books, games, technology and pop culture — is offering TV viewers the one-of-a-kind opportunity to share the excitement with an exclusive broadcast of the panel. G4′s Attack of the Show hosts Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn will join Lucasfilm’s Steve Sansweet and a galaxy of guests from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and beyond — including supervising director Dave Filoni, and voice talent from the show — to provide an insider look at the Star Wars universe, with never-before-seen footage and a LIVE table read of an exclusive new Clone Wars script.
But the ‘fabulous firsts’ don’t stop there. Lucasfilm will also be launching their all-new Star Wars Story Project. Fans of Star Wars will have the opportunity to become part of the legend, but sharing their own movie memories, and “tales of fandom” through person video testimonials. Fans will be able to submit these testimonials online or in-person at Comic-Con.

Since I’m packing up and going to be in San Diego for the festivities, I’m going to have to plan my day around this panel. Seems like it’s going to be a lot of fun again this year. And maybe this time, I’ll actually make it on TV when G4 is filming.
This is great – the friends I leave behind can finally see why ComicCon is the only place to be that week! I’ll be looking for you – - J
