Today we look at Saturday and Sunday at Comic-Con in panels and events that relate to Star Wars. There is not as much on these days as they were for Thursday and Friday.
Saturday, June 23rd
3:00pm - 4:00pm The Write Stuff III: Writing for Genre Television and Beyond
In this non-universe specific panel, the top TV writers will discuss the nature of writing for the medium and particularly genres and how potential talents can get into the business. On the panel will be Steve Melching, who is the writer for Star Wars: The Clone Wars
4:00pm – 5:00pm Dark Horse and Bioware: A Comic and Video Game Partnership
Dark Horse has been instrumental in providing Bioware with an outlet to extend its games into the comic book media with two series based on Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2. Now as Star Wars: The Old Republic draws near, they will also be creating a comic for that as well. This panel will discuss all of their current and past joint efforts.
8:30pm – 9:30pm Star Wars Trivia Show
Come and have a bit of fun with the San Diego Star Wars Society’s 10th Annual Trivia game show. The event will feature adult and teenage contestants and for the first time, a kids under 12 category. Test your knowledge against others for fun and prizes in this unique setting.
Sunday, June 24th
12:00n – 1:00pm Speculative Fiction: Space Odyssey, Alien Encounters, and Future Worlds
A wide range of science fiction writers including Timothy Zahn of Star Wars fame, will be holding a panel to discuss what inspires the future, how the past and present have been and why science fiction strikes us so.
12:00n – 1:00pm Star Wars Crafts
Bonnie Burton will be hosting a workshop on how to build a Yoda Puppet for the kids and adults who like crafts. She created the book “Star Wars Crafts” as well as a couple of how to draw Star Wars guides as well. Should be a lot of fun.
3:00pm – 4:00pm Starship Smackdown XIIX: 10th Anniversary Platinum Edition
The Starship Smackdown is one of the most popular events and tries to answer the age old questions of which ships would win in battle, such as a Borg ship versus the Death Star or the Imperial Star Destroyer versus the Enterprise. Representatives from the different factions will try to outplay and out maneuver their competition in this age old war. Steve Melching, a writer for the Clone Wars, will be taking up the battle for the Lucas Empire.
And that’s pretty much it on the last two days of Comic-Con in San Diego. Have a good time and may the force be with you…
