SDCC 2016: Report From Preview Night and Day One

0 comments
By: Dominic Jones

The first full day of San Diego Comic Con 2016 has come to a close, and while there haven't been any big Star Wars announcements (any announcements will likely come tomorrow), Star Wars has had an unmissable presence on the convention floor.  It's hard to miss the Lucasfilm Pavilion, which features an exhibit of costumes from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and many licensees have their Star Wars products featured front and center.

The big feature is, of course, the Lucasfilm pavilion.  Sporting a revamped look, it is designed to make fans feel as though they are entering the Rebel base on Yavin IV, it features a surprise reveal of a new character from Rogue One, Edrio Two Tubes, alongside some more familiar costumes.

Here's what we saw during Day One and Preview Night,

Hasbro, who have three convention exclusives (Jyn Erso, a helmetless Kylo Ren, and an Old Ben Kenobi) also have a massive Star Wars presence (with more to be revealed at their panel tomorrow),

While the first day of Comic Con hasn't been the most eventful for Star Wars fans, there certainly has been some exciting stuff to see.  We can expect a few announcements tomorrow during the Hasbro Star Wars, Star Wars Publishing, and Star Wars Collectibles update (all of which we will be live tweeting as they happen, follow us @TheSWU).
