Star Wars Panels Schedule

On Friday, July 23rd, get into The Old Republic by checking out the panels taking place in the Star Wars room (Room 7AB). Panels fill up fast so if you want a spot, be sure to get there early! Attendees are not required to clear out when a panel is finished, so consider attending earlier meetings to reserve your seat.

12:00-1:00PM - Star Wars: Collectibles Update

Join Chris Spitale of Lucasfilm Licensing and the creators of some of the most tantalizing Star Wars collectibles, for a look at product development insights. Look forward to exclusive previews of what’s coming next for the Star Wars franchise, and what to expect from the hottest new collectibles.

1:00-2:00 PM – Beyond Solo: Crafting the Multiplayer Story in Star Wars: The Old Republic

Meet up with James Ohlen (Studio Creative Director and Lead Designer, BioWare) Drew Karpyshyn (Principal Writer, BioWare), and Alexander Freed (Managing Editor, BioWare), along with Morgan Webb (G4's X-Play)as they discuss the creation of the multiplayer, planet-spanning story in Star Wars: The Old Republic. While much attention has been paid to the unique individual stories of each of the eight classes in the game, the team is excited to share their approach to the broader stories that players will experience in The Old Republic.

2:00-3:00 PM - Inside the Force

Join Dave Filoni (Supervising Director), Joel Aron (CG Supervisor) and Kilian Plunkett (Lead Designer) as the Lucasfilm Animation Artists take you on an in-depth journey from script to screen, showing how an episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars is made. See how the animation style transformed from season one to the upcoming season three. 


Meet the Developers Event

To relax from all the comic madness, we’re putting together an intimate event where fans can meet some of The Old Republic developers. We’ll be hanging out at Fred's Mexican Cafe from 5PM – 7PM on Friday, July 23rd, so be sure to come by and say hi!

We’ve updated the Events page to announce The Old Republic’s presence at the San Diego Comic-Con, so check back there for any schedule changes. See you there!

"But then you realise you live in Hawaii so everything is insignificant after that."

Unless you don't like humidity or spam.

Sat, 07/17/2010 - 06:56

I am so there.

Fri, 07/16/2010 - 11:01

Unfortunately, money and schedule do not warrant a trip to Comic Con, this year. Which is a bummer... of course. However, I hope that G4 will be doing some exclusives, since Morgan Webb with be the "moderator" for the panel. Hope you guys enjoy the event!

Oh, well... Guess I'll just have to wait for you guys to come to my neck of the woods for PAX 2010! Last year's presentation was EPIC, so you will hopefully be out-doing yourselves! xD

 
Sun, 08/22/2010 - 13:56

I will also be relying on G4 for my updates but I was sincerely hoping for Sessler (it just seems like he never gets any credit for actually being a good interviewer) Webb is cool and all but Sessler might ask q couple questions that havent been pre-meditated by G4 production staff.

Thu, 07/15/2010 - 18:28

Will happen to be in town from the midwest and got some tickets today, I wonder what I am getting into...

Thu, 07/15/2010 - 05:54

Would Love to make it but Rodeo Season Interferes this year :(

 
Thu, 07/15/2010 - 17:04

G4 will cover Comic-con they do every year, they are awesome for that :), i hope that they reviel something new at Comic-con it doesnt have to be huge but you know something haha. Im sure they will have stuff for Star Wars Celebration 5 it is like a tradition to show new stuff conserning Star Wars

Wed, 07/14/2010 - 21:10

Bring on the Beta (Or at least more Advance classes news!)

 
Wed, 07/14/2010 - 22:17

if you have g4 you don't have to worry about going I am pretty sure they will cover it, if not they will post it on the site.

Wed, 07/14/2010 - 19:02

Would love to be there but it's so far away.

Wed, 07/14/2010 - 05:04

Wish I could attend, but sadly I can't, but I will see you guys at PAX! :)

Wed, 07/14/2010 - 01:18

2010 I was hopeing that swtor would be done and out but it was like a Hurricane vary exciting at the start but ending in disaster.

Tue, 07/13/2010 - 17:46

Can't wait for this game to comeout! 2011, why are you taking so long to come! D:

 
Tue, 07/13/2010 - 18:52

it´s a mega programing... our PC/MAC needs too be tip-top for this game ;)

Tue, 07/13/2010 - 14:14

I can´t wait for this game, i´m playing WoW right now, but when SWTOR comes out, i´m giving up WoW... ;)

 
Thu, 07/15/2010 - 16:15

how many more conventions can they have before the game comes out i wonder...I'm half hoping for more for goodies, and then i just want the game as well... :o)

Mon, 07/12/2010 - 19:31

Tue, 07/13/2010 - 14:09

Mon, 07/12/2010 - 04:06

Meet the Developers Event? Well, someone ask the Dev's if they like Pyramids..........and see what they say after that. Hehehe

 
Mon, 07/12/2010 - 07:11

The recruiting for the " WE ACCEPT ALL" clans has already begone i see. A big ball of people most of which have no idea what they are doing. Yeah man that's a nice guild.

Sun, 07/11/2010 - 16:49

At least Celebration V is in Orlando this year. Hurray for it being only 20 minutes away from my house!! I wonder if The Old Republic is gonna do stuff there.

 
Mon, 07/12/2010 - 16:02

They said they were gonna be there but I hope they have something good like a playable demo or something.

Sun, 07/11/2010 - 13:52

Here's for hoping on gamecom in germany.. :D i think thats the closest to sweden :D and it's big!

Sat, 07/10/2010 - 22:38

First E3, now comic con? Where else r they going to be at.

 
Mon, 07/12/2010 - 17:27

My Bedroom?Or even better well see them on the market soon!

 
Sun, 07/11/2010 - 04:06

The AVN Awards?

Sat, 07/10/2010 - 17:54

Comic-Con!!! ^^ sooo stoked. wish you guys elsewhere could taste this too.

 
Fri, 07/16/2010 - 07:26

they are coming to PAX they said in torocast or whatever interview that they had big news to be released at PAX

 
Sun, 07/11/2010 - 04:57

I hope they come to PAX!

Sat, 07/10/2010 - 17:15

Why do they never come to Canada? Vancouver is a big city and same with Toronto. There would be lots of people! Canada loves Star Wars! Vancouver would be the best choice though.

 
Sun, 08/22/2010 - 13:59

I totally agree but I think they should do Toronto. Vancouver gets absolutely everything these days and its not a far cry from California once you think about it anyways. Why not spread out and cover the eastern side every once and awhile.

 
Sat, 07/17/2010 - 07:00

I hope they don't so I can laugh at your miserable lives.

 
Mon, 07/12/2010 - 12:31

Well,canada would be a good idea,but they can't host it in Vancouver because nearly every week a new movie is being planned there.
