    The first mention of San Diego Comic-Con was made this week when JJ told Collider that he "hopes" to bring The Force Awakens to the con in July. But as the Unofficial SDCC Blog points out, there is some question about how much Disney will allow Lucasfilm to participate.

    I still anticipate a great showing at Celebration, but what do you all think will be shown at SDCC if Disney approves? Since this con is more of a "red carpet" event I am hoping for a Star Wars mega panel with the OT cast and the stars of the ST, a clip or two, or perhaps something interesting in the exhibit area beyond merchandise sales and promotion.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we do not get much of TFA, but we do get news of plans that they have for other areas of Star Wars whether it be books, comics, games and possibly TV.

    I don't know...I can see Disney opting out of SDCC (sorta like they did last year) to showcase everything for the film at their own D23 Expo, which would be only a few short weeks away by that point.

    That's been my gut instinct too. Remember the first D23? They kept MARVEL from going to SDCC. They kept their comic book film properties away from comic-con itself in an effort to promote D23. I'm afraid they will use Star Wars for the same purpose. But, hey, JJ's enthusiasm leaves me optimistic and Disney did eventually allow Marvel Studios to return to SDCC.

    How big is D23 compared to ComicCon?

    Last year didn't they feature Age of Ultron heavily at ComicCon? With an actor panel and sneak peak at the trailer too?

    I'd vote D23Expo over SDCC for a major TFA push.

    That said, if J.J. is already mentioning SDCC, it would be great if Disney did a little something for both.

    Well perhaps something small for SDCC. I realize the answer to my previous questions.

    There were no Disney/SW releated events in 2014 and this year there are two: Celebration VII (April 16-19) and D23 (August 14-16). So now I can see why they wouldn't use SDCC as a major push.

    Age of Ultron had a HUGE presence at 2014 SDCC but there was no D23 so who knows?

    My prediction is SDCC will be a huge disappointment for us Star Wars fans.

    Yep, I think this is what will happen. There might be a very small presence at SDCC, but nothing major.

    I think the next trailer will be at Celebration, personally. I don't know... I honestly feel like SDCC will have something, but not as much as Celebration and D23.

    How does it work for us who won't be there? Reading descriptions until Ultron and online release worldwide? I can see myself being content with that... sadly.

    So then the next logical follow up question would be what kind of presence will TFA have at D23 Expo?

    We have not had confirmation about the September merchandise release, have we? If this is the plan then I'd think if they skip out on SDCC then D23 will be HUGE? Yah?

    Well something most certainly will be huge, other than my boner. I can't even imagine the media frenzy post September... prequel trilogy was a different era so this is pretty much unknown territory. I don't believe Disney would want to release 10+ TV spots and ruin everything, but huge media presence from cast & crew is a given.

    100% certain spoiler leaks for the whole story concern me though, I love reading the speculations in 'rumors' thread atm but when it starts getting real and in-detail, not so sure...

    celebration is in April, SDCC Is in July there Is no reason we can't get a Trailer at both events and then the last trailer before they start rolling out TV Spots could very well be in the Fall.

    But if we get the trailer at Celebration Ultron is out? I don't believe they'd pull out of Ultron.

    are you saying there is a rumor that there will be a star wars trailer attached to age of ultron? If so I don't believe that has been confirmed, so chalk that up to just a rumor at this point. and Don't forget May The Fourth Be With You witch has become a National Holiday among Star Wars Fans....

    I don't know if we've had official confirmation of September but remember that SDCC is the big public roll out for new stuff from companies like Hasbro, Lego, Sideshow, Gentle Giant, etc. And Lucasfilm always has a massive booth with tons of video, props and merch. Even if there isn't a major panel in Hall H there will likely be a huge marketing blitz by licensees on the exhibit floor.

    We might get a panel with JJ and some of the younger actors maybe Hamil and Daniels and maybe a small clip or art but thats all I am thinking we will get.

    I think the new trailer will premier at Celebration and online in April, then it will be attached to Avengers in May so mass audiences get to see it.

    I am talking about SDCC. I think we will get something at Comic Con because JJ said he hoped he could go to comic con this year.
