When they said that Stars Wars: The Force Awakens would be coming to Conic-Con, what audiences saw inside Hall H did not disappoint. Not only did new cast members show up, such as Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson and Gwendoline Christie, but also fans were treated to a sit down panel with the big three — Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill.

What most impressed us?
How about the confirmation that longtime Star Wars fan Simon Pegg is in the movie. He is likely all covered up in some sort of alien costume, but to see his smiling face in this behind-the-scenes footage gave us chills.
