Star Wars The Force Awakens Title Card

The lack of Disney will surely be felt at San Diego Comic-Con this year. There will be no Disney Animation Studios. No Disney live-action films. No Pixar. And most definitely no Marvel.

There will however, be a panel for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, this after the franchise had their Star Wars Celebration event back in April. The cast and filmmakers will be on hand for what is expected to be the major event of the entire convention.

More on the story below, including the full San Diego Comic-Con Star Wars schedule.

The Force Awakens panel will be held on July 10. Lucasfilm president and producer Kathleen Kennedy, director J.J. Abrams, writer Lawrence Kasdan, and a number of guest participating at the panel, which will most likely feature all new never before seen footage. Unfortunately, the exact time of the panel has yet to be determined, so it’s very likely you will have to camp – like people don’t do that already.

The special guests will presumably have more than just John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Daisy Ridley, Anthony Daniels, Carrie Fisher, Peter Mayhew, and Mark Hamill, all of whom appeared at The Force Awakens panel at Star Wars Celebration earlier this year. Since then we’ve discovered the identities of Adam Driver and Lupita Nyong’o, Gwendoline Christie, and Andy Serkis. We still don’t know who Domhnall Gleeson or Max Von Sydow are playing in the film, so it’s very possible that their roles will be revealed during the panel.

Here’s the full slate of Star Wars related events that will be happening during Comic-Con. More details are expected to be announced tomorrow:

Friday, July 10
