“STAR WARS: The Force Awakens” Comic Con Preview


I couldn’t be there, and likely you aren’t there either.  But I am living vicariously through social media.  This is the panel at San Diego ComicCon I have been waiting for – “STAR WARS: The Force Awakens” AKA Episode VII.

I haven’t been able to watch the full panel yet, but I wanted to share this reel.  It’s a three and a half minute look behind the scenes of the new movie.  I kept seeing people who were there last night saying that it made them cry.  I thought that was odd, but having watched it this morning I will confess, I got goosebumps and had a few tears myself.  I just can’t wait until December!!!

Also, here is a link to Entertainment Weekly’s coverage of the STAR WARS panel.
