Comic-Con is over and I have watched a ton of YouTube videos about the event. Many of the panels excited me. The panel on "The Force Awakens" was simply amazing. There were no major secrets revealed or new trailers released, but what they did have was Harrison Ford.
I was also able to watch many of the live streaming from Star Wars Celebration and listened to both Mark Hamill's and Carrie Fisher's thoughts, but because of his accident, Harrison Ford was unable to make an appearance.
Comic-Con, on the other hand, was a whole different story. The panel started with some of the production people, the new cast, and finally both Mark and Carrie joined them on stage to answer questions. There was only one seat left and it did not have a name card. His name was announced and Harrison Ford came out from behind the stage with the crowd roaring.
It was very exciting to see him once again embrace his beloved character of Han Solo. That would have been enough to get me excited, but, to my delight, there was more. Ford took several minutes to praise the new story and the direction the Star Wars universe is going. He seemed genuinely enthusiastic about his arc and the movie as a whole. With both Hamill and Fisher appearing at SWCA, Ford was the last member of the original trilogy to reveal his emotions surrounding his return.
So, I will end this in the words of Han Solo in as far as it applies to the original three..."We're home".
