The Old Republic @ Comic-Con

Sean just posted an official announcement that Star Wars: The Old Republic will have a presence at this month’s Comic-Con International in San Diego!

It sounds like they’ll be taking part in a panel hosted by X-Play’s Morgan Webb where they’ll discuss the overarching galactic story, as opposed to individual class stories that they’ve been focusing on:

Comic-Con International is coming to San Diego, California! Meet up with The Old Republic team at the panel entitled “Beyond Solo: Crafting the Multiplayer Story in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™” on July 23rd from 1:00 to 2:00pm in Room 7AB. Morgan Webb (G4’s X-Play) moderates a discussion with James Ohlen (Studio Creative Director and Lead Designer, BioWare), Drew Karpyshyn  (Principal Writer, BioWare), and Alexander Freed (Managing Editor, BioWare) about the creation of the multiplayer, planet-spanning story in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

It sounds like this is going to be a great discussion!

There are also a few other events worth noting that will be taking place:

• Blood of the Empire signing by Alexander Freed at the Dark Horse booth
• “Hope” Cinematic Trailer displayed at the Star Wars™ booth

All in all, Comic-Con is looking promising. Convention season is in full swing and it’ll be Spring 2011 before you know it.
