The "Journey To The Force Awakens" panel for Disney-Lucasfilm publishing just wrapped up at New York Comic Con and it turned out to be quite eventful. Panelists Pablo Hidalgo, Adam Bray (Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know), Chuck Wendig (Star Wars: Aftermath), Claudia Gray (Star Wars: Lost Stars), Greg Rucka (Shattered Empire, Smuggler's Run) and Jason Fry (The Weapon of a Jedi, Moving Target) had much to talk about their recent works, and even revealed a few new pieces of Star Wars literature coming in the next few months. My colleague Chris Seekell and I were there to report on the panel as it happened and provided us with a plethora of tweets and photos. You catch up on all that was said during the panel by taking a look at their hard work below:
