George Lucas Meets Comic-Con – The Explosion of Excitement at 2025 Show!

Hold on tight, fellow nerds, and comic fans – San Diego's Comic-Con schedule is out and we're in for a wild ride! Taking place between July 24-27, this might initially be perceived as a quieter year. And admittedly, that's understandable given neither the Marvel nor DC Studios plan their usual extravaganza. However, the force will still be strong with us, marker friends, as a certain “Star Wars” creator is guiding his starship towards the event! Yes, you've heard it right – George Lucas himself will be docking at the premier annual fan gathering in North America - Comic-Con 2025.

In a historic event, Lucas will be unveiling the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, expected to open its doors in Los Angeles, the following year. And guess who's joining him in Hall H? None other than the master director, Guillermo del Toro, ace visual designer Doug Chiang and the renowned Queen Latifah moderating the session.

Comic-Con's communication and strategy chief, David Glanzer, could barely contain his excitement. In his statement, he said, "We are beyond thrilled to welcome George Lucas to Comic-Con for the very first time… His lifelong dedication to visual storytelling and world-building resonates deeply with us and our community…".

Now, let's talk about what's in store for you in the full convention schedule, and oh boy, it certainly isn't going to disappoint!

Percy Jackson and the Olympians fans are in for a treat. The demigods are back in Hall H unveiling the much-awaited second season premiering this December on Disney+.
