San Diego International Comic-Con was founded in 1970, and now its influence has long surpassed the animation industry, and the blockbusters, TV series, and high specifications that can not be compared with other comic conventions can not be found here. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Hollywood studios have made every effort to attract the Oscars of the anime industry, and fans from all over the world will have a day of their lives here.

Since the Comic Con, all kinds of fierce materials, rotten materials, and fertilizers have been exposed first, and all kinds of CSRs, iron fans, and geeks have also worn the most dazzling outfits to cheer enthusiastically here.

As the most watched event of this year's San Diego International Comic-Con, Lucasfilm's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" special session was held in the central hall of the Comic-Con, which is not only a film reopened after many years, but also the first Star Wars movie after Lucasfilm and Star Wars rights were acquired by Duke.

So it's not hard to imagine that there are a lot of fans who set up their tents outside the night in advance, which doesn't necessarily guarantee a good spot.

In that posture, those who only queued for a few hours were embarrassed to say that they were Star Wars fans.

Before the event began, those who didn't know would have thought they had gone into the wrong religious group, and all Star Wars fans, almost all of whom were dressed as SPYs, shouted "L's." g。 sr。 wrs!", and made a wave of people in the hall.

When Duke, the director, producer, Catherine? Kennedy, Charles? Rowan and Robin? When Grande made his debut, the sound was at its peak, giving a real understanding of what it meant to "flip the roof".

"Here, I would like to introduce you to a special guest."

Standing on the stage in the exhibition hall, Duke gestured backstage, and a middle-aged man dressed as a Stormtrooper walked up to the stage, and when he came to his side, Duke said, "This is Kevin." He's a Star Wars fan, like all of us. ”

The middle-aged man took off his helmet and waved his hand below the stage.

Duke continued, "Kevin honors the love that died young. Wearing a Star Wars Stormtrooper costume, he walked nearly 1,000 kilometers to CI-C, both for steadfast love and for self-redemption. ”

There was a round of applause throughout the exhibition hall, and Star Wars fan Kevin has also been a star since the opening of the San Diego Comic-Con exhibition.

CI-C has had a sad and touching story going on since the other day, and last Thursday a Star Wars fan walked more than 645 miles to the venue in a Stormtrooper outfit. Unlike the madness of others, his ascetic actions are in memory of his beloved wife who died young.

Kevin, 56 years old? Born in Minnesota, Doyle works in Minneapolis as a designer and illustrator and is a long-time Star Wars fan, and in 2009 he and his wife, Irene, met at a Star Wars CSPY club, the 501st Legion, a cartoonist who loves to draw Star Wars-themed works, and the same hobby quickly brought them together.

In 2009, he proposed to his wife in a Black Warrior outfit, and the following year he had a grand Star Wars-themed wedding, and even the flower girl was an R2-D2 droid in the flowers. But they had only been married for a year before Erin was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

In November 2012, his 45-year-old wife passed away, and it was hard to find the love of his life, and this same interest, but it was difficult for Kevin to accept the fact that he had left his job and felt that there was no hope in life, and had a tendency to self-destruct.

Earlier this year, he traveled to the Star Wars Museum in Petaluma, California. In addition to visiting and meeting old friends, Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be released this year, and he found San Francisco just 501 miles from San Diego, where CI-C is held, and he felt a voice in his heart. It seems that his wife is telling him to walk to the Comic Con.

He took his camping equipment and pushed a tricycle and began the long journey wearing a white stormtrooper suit, most of the time he did not wear a helmet because it was inconvenient to see the road and listen to the sounds, and he only put it on when passers-by took pictures with him, and the straight-line distance shown on the map was 501 miles. But California's coastal kilometer walk is about 645 miles, and he walks 20 to 45 miles a day.

Kevin is in. He updated his itinerary on Twitter and Instant Share, with the words "Walk in memory of Erin" written on the back of his clothes, and people supported him with hugs and applause along the way, and when he finally reached the CI-C venue, the organizers and Duke's crew greeted him with the highest honors and made him the true leader of the "501 Legion".

Of course, no one can deny the huge publicity that Kevin brought to Star Wars.

After Kevin stepped down, Duke shared a new character from outer space with fans on the spot, BB. J, and deliberately "invited" it to the scene.

"Although this film relies on a lot of CG technology, I still want the actors and myself to have a real and sensible environment, and I hope that this Star Wars will have as many real scenes and elements as possible."

Stand on BB. Before J's model, Duke talked about the latest progress of the film, "Most of the shots have been shot, the corresponding special effects have been made, many shots are now being put to the finishing touches, and the first trailer will be released in the fall." ”

At the beginning of the comic con, the fierce news never stopped.

After this, Harrison, the patriarch of the Star Wars series? Ford, Mark? Hamill, Kelly? Fisher and the new member Daisy? Ridley, Daniel? Wu, Oscar? Isaac, Lee? Pace, Gwendolan? Christie and Domhnall? Gleason was all in attendance.

Harrison? Ford stepped onto the stage as the last guest, and the audience erupted in applause.

When "Princess Leia" Kelly? Fisher, "Han? Solo: "Harrison? Ford, "Luke? Skywalker "Mark? When the three Hamills appeared, it was difficult to say whether the fans at the scene were cheering or crying, whether the tears were happy or nostalgic, and it has been 30 years......

In order to gain attention and get more commercial benefits than expected after the film's release, the crew did a lot of work with Lucasfilm and Warner Bros., and even Duke made unprecedented efforts in publicity and promotion, and served as the host on stage at this event.

"I was 11 years old when Star Wars first came out, and Star Wars was in my head. I'll never forget that feeling when I heard 'Once upon a time, in a galaxy far away,' with that wonderful soundtrack......"

Holding the microphone, Duke warmed up for the activities that were being done later, fully mobilizing the atmosphere of the fans at the scene, "It can be said that this moment has changed me." It's the first time there has been a movie like this that makes me laugh so much and make me believe that there is another world like this. George? Lucas's success lies not only in creating the Star Wars story series, but more importantly, the film is full of soul and the most important thing for me is that there is hope in the film. ”

When it came to filming Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Duke admitted that he hesitated, "At first I said no, because it was a headache and difficult to do, and I used to make sci-fi movies, and I kind of wanted to switch and jump out." But just in me with Catherine? When Kennedy sat down and talked about how the film was going to be and how it was going to be presented, I took over unexpectedly. I thought I would say no, but I couldn't. ”

When a fan representative asked about the special effects of the latest "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", Duke directly said, "This is 'Star Wars', there will definitely be a lot of special effects, you must want it to be real, so this is also a task for us, although in the footage filmed, the special effects of Industrial Light and Magic have not been added, but the story looks great, and you can understand it." ”

Duke didn't say anything about the hardships of filming, especially in the Abu Dhabi area, where Skywalker's hometown was filmed, with temperatures as high as 128 degrees Fahrenheit, and the conditions were definitely worse than fans could imagine.

Subsequently, the * of the whole event appeared, and the fan-favorite R2-D2 took the lead, which attracted warm applause from the Star Wars fans present, and behind the R2-D2, the round BB-8 rolled directly onto the stage.

When Star Wars fans were still surprised, BB-8 circled around R2-D2, successively showed a 360-degree turn of the head, and had already "looked back and smiled" and other actions, directly turning the audience, resulting in the largest laughter and applause in the exhibition hall today.

With little effort, BB-8 became the focus of the show.

Many fans also submitted the questions they wanted to ask Duke the most in advance, and some asked him how to satisfy the millions of fans who "treat every Star Wars as if it were the last".

"You can't satisfy everybody, and even though we've worked hard, I have to say that sometimes it's stressful," Duke replied calmly, standing on stage, "We can't live up to the reputation of the series, but we have to tell a whole new story, which is our top priority." ”

Then, he added, "Of course, the audience is the most important thing. ”

A lot of actors also talked about their roles, especially Lee? The villain played by Pace, the crew revealed a little news to the outside world for the first time through the mouth of the actors.

"We didn't talk much about whether the character was evil or not during filming," said Lee. Pace's words carry a lot of questions, "In fact, there are many different possibilities between good guys and bad guys. ”

As planned, Duke and Harrison? Together, Ford held up the first official poster of the film.

The poster is set against the backdrop of a millennium falcon, and the elderly Han? Solo and Princess Leia looked at each other affectionately, and below them, there was a striking sentence - we are home!

Seeing this sentence, many Star Wars fans at the scene left tears of emotion. (To be continued.) )
