Here’s everything that happened at the Star Wars Hall H panel… You know the one
The Force was strong with us last night, as we stood with thousands of Star Wars Collectible fans from around the world to witness the most anticipated once-in-a-lifetime event of this year’s San Diego Comic-Con; the Star Wars Force Awakens panel in Hall H!
Filmmakers J.J. Abrams, Kathleen Kennedy and Lawrence Kasdan were joined on stage by cast members Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Gwendoline Christie, as well as Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford. We could barely contain ourselves as we Tweeted the whole thing live. Here’s a quick recap of the highlights:

And then this happened…
Harrison Ford leaned over Mark Hamill to kiss Carrie Fisher, and everything was right with the universe.
Immediately following the panel, J.J. Abrams invited everyone (more than 6000 panel attendees) to walk with him to an outdoor concert staging area and listen to the San Diego Symphony perform Star Wars tracks from John Williams at the Embarcadero Marina Park South. With fireworks. And then, simultaneously, every fan in the audience knew we were home.
