The Power of Superfandom
A new age has dawned! The days of geeks on the fringe are ancient history, and a new breed of enthusiast has risen to rule the pop culture kingdom: the superfan. Renowned in fandom far and wide for their authentic expertise, superfans wear their obsession excitedly on their sleeve. Their passion is their collective power, leading cultural conversations and influencing entertainment trends. For a few days at SDCC, all eyes are fixed on the stuff that superfans live and breathe: comics, movies, TV shows, and more. Panelists talk about what makes a true superfan and dissect the superfan domination of mainstream media. You might even learn how the power of the superfan can help turn your obsession into an awesome career. Moderated by Eric Moro (Wikia's VP of Programming), panelists include superfans from Wookieepedia and the Marvel Database, Leland Chee (Lucasfilm Story Group), Gary Whitta (screenwriter, Star Wars: Rogue One), Chris Wyatt (Marvel Animation), Kevin Burke (Marvel Animation) and Scott Allie (editor in chief, Dark Horse Comics).

Comic-Con could possibly use a new copy editor. That should be Indiana Jones <I>A</I>dventure at the end there, in reference to the Disneyland attraction. (Kleyla's an Imagineer.)

I'll be at Comic Con Saturday but there's no way I'm going to an 8:30pm panel.

I expect to be two sheets to the wind by then, well on my way to a third.

And, seriously, what do they even talk about at an Indy Fans panel??

Im going to be at comic con all four days. Going to Lucas film panel for the bts about SW7 since apparently no trailer for it this con...but yeah, I doubt that the Lucasfilm panel will be anything besides star wars...not holding my breath.

Might try for the ILM panel, but thursday is the floor day so I may be too busy walking for five hours the length of the floor before I get in line the night before trying to get into the Lucasfilm one.

Chances of any new Indy news besides the fan panel...0 percent sadly.

If nothing is revealed, there's still the biennial D23 Expo August 14–16 at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Forgot about D23! Yeah, I heard Marvel is also sitting comic con out, so yeah.

Marvel and SW will be big at D23, but I really hope Indy gets some love.

Also going on an archaeology field school this summer and by sheer coincidence I get back on Aug 14th, so I'll be checking the internet to see what's announced there. Indy might have some announcements I think, if all these Indy theme park renovations recently (The hangar bar, + the rumors of Adventure going to orlando as well) may be an indication of some future plans.
