First of all, the presentation this Friday afternoon will not include a trailer or any new clips of the movie. The next trailer will be coming in the fall, according to sources with knowledge of the project.
But don’t go hurling your cup of blue milk at the wall just yet. There will be other surprises.
Roughly six months before the Dec. 18 release, the Comic-Con panel will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the highly secretive film, which was completely locked down to press during production. (It’s still locked down. Lucasfilm and parent company Disney declined requests for comment.)

Although EW hasn’t learned just which of the cast members will be joining them, our spies say there will be several actors who haven’t yet spoken publicly about their roles venturing onstage in Hall H.

I'm hoping we might get a few fun tidbits from tonight's opening, but I doubt we'll see anything new of real substance from most of the Star Wars licensees until after the official presentations on Friday.
As well as that way cool TIE, it looks like the Sideshow booth has finally revealed the 1/6th scale Leia, the Falcon cockpit environment, and other recently teased 1/6th scale figs such as Maul and AT-AT driver. http://www.yodasnews.com/sdcc-15-quick- ... -sideshow/
