Comic Con 2015 -- Star Wars and some artists at SDCC, updated with SW reel from Comic Con

Post 2 of 7

The San Diego convention center has a futuristic design .. and a nickname 'The Space Station"

It makes the perfect setting for all things Star Wars... and there are all things Star Wars at SDCC. Starting with the Star Wars booth .. and its giant screen playing scenes from the films and animated series...

Star Wars launched film merchandising. It was released before studios retained merchandising rights ... a policy adopted after George Lucas retained the merchandising rights for that little space film idea he had...

 The official Star Wars booth had props from the upcoming new film...

 And lots of mini-booths will all sorts of Star Wars must haves... Wookie Beach Towel anyone???

 Popular new offerings included hologram images that moved with mind power...

Even a toy Yoda who you can interact with and learn lightsaber skills....

 Science of Star Wars items....

Star Wars Fashions....

plus other space themed stuff...

even Star Wars pet gear.....

Still not enough Star Wars.. here's the special Comic Con reel

Further down the hall at the Copic markers booth .. a genuine Star Wars Artist! Creature Designer and animal artist Terryl Whitlach appeared at the Copic marker booth all four days ..
