There weren't any major reveals or announcements at the Hasbro Star Wars Panel at Comic-Con on Friday and a lot of the time was focused on the new Star Wars Angry Birds II app and toys coming out soon (panel report coming soon). For those eagerly following the action figure news, this panel only solidified plans already leaked. Click on through the gallery link above to view the slides from the panel (taken with most of the lights on, so we apologize for the quality) and CLICK HERE for press photos.
