‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ Reportedly Not Having A Panel At SDCC

Mark Hamill Star Wars The Force Awakens Luke Skywalker

Star Wars: The Last Jedi will not be having a panel at San Diego Comic Con this year, according to io9’s Germain Lussier and backed by the San Diego Comic Con Unofficial Blog. The latter reached out to Lucasfilm recently and they were told that Star Wars: The Last Jedi’s “presence at SDCC 2017 will be focused on our booth on the convention floor, so there will be no press events or interview opportunities this year.” This likely extends to Han Solo not having a panel as well.

It makes sense since the movie will be having presentations at D23 this year, along with Thor: Ragnarok and Black Panther. Disney and Lucasfilm might not want to put in their efforts for another event happening the week immediately after.

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi stars Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Carrie Fisher as General Leia Organa, Daisy Ridley as Rey, John Boyega as Finn, Adam Driver as Kylo Ren, Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron, Lupita Nyong’o as Maz Kanata, Kelly Marie Tran as Rose Tico, Laura Dern as Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo, Gwendoline Christie as Captain Phasma, Andy Serkis as Supreme Leader Snoke, Domhnall Gleeson as General Armitage Hux, Benicio Del Toro as “DJ”, Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca, Anthony Daniels as C-3PO, and Jimmy Vee as R2-D2.

The Last Jedi will be hitting theaters on December 15, 2017.
