Jimmy Mac from The ForceCast sends in a detailed report on Steve Sansweet's Star Wars Presentation from Chicago Comic-Con:
This evening, The 2009 Chicago Comic Con was treated to a fun and informative Star Wars presentation from Lucasfilm Manager of Fan Relations, Steve Sansweet. As expected, much of the material included the incredible trailers first shown at SDCC.
First out of the box was the video for Star Wars: The Concert featuring great footage of the premiere in London earlier this summer. Steve announced that the tour will indeed stop in the Chicago area and other cities throughout the states. We can expect the tour itinerary to be announced in a couple weeks or so.
The audience was then treated to the trailer for the newest The Force Unleashed DLC coming soon from LucasArts, followed by the amazing trailer for The Old Republic MMO. This footage was met with the tremendous response that has accompanied previous public screenings at the Lucasfilm pavilion at SDCC.
Then Steve debuted a new video that showcased the history of Star Wars fandom and the past Celebrations. This nice video featured material from all the Celebrations and ended with the new logo for Celebration V spotlighting Boba Fett. Steve told the Chicago audience they were the first to see the logo outside Lucasfilm.
Then, star of The Clone Wars, Tom Kane took the stage to participate in a great interview with Steve. The always affable Tom talked about voicing the iconic character Yoda, and discussed the feedback he received from George Lucas.
The presentation ended with a video replay of the wonderful The Clone Wars table read from SDCC and the season 2 trailer.
Again, no big announcements or bombshells, but the crowd exited the presentation feeling excited for the future of Star Wars. No question about that!
Be sure to check in with The ForceCast often over the course of the next few weeks for coverage of this presentation, including an exclusive podcast interview with Steve Sansweet himself, plus much more from Chicago Comic Con!
