The Star Wars publishing panel just happened at San Diego Comic Con and we were treated to a number of exciting announcements and intriguing new information. The upcoming 'Thrawn' comic adaption was one of the big announcements at the panel, but that wasn't everything. SWU head writer Dominic Jones was among the attendees of the panel and live-tweeted everything he saw and heard. Check out his full report:
