Lucasfilm Ltd. and G4 are joining forces for a milestone in San Diego Comic-Con International's 40-year history the first-ever, exclusive television broadcast of a presentation from the massive pop culture convention. "The Star Wars Spectacular!" will air Saturday July 25th at 2:00pm ET/PT only on G4, and will feature never-before-seen footage, breaking news, surprise announcements, guest stars and more.

Traditionally, details surrounding Lucasfilm's primary panel presentation are closely guarded secrets, with only 6,500 lucky on-site fans allowed access to the wealth of coveted information from a galaxy far, far away. But this year, G4 is offering TV viewers the one-of-a-kind opportunity to share the excitement with an exclusive broadcast of the panel. G4's "Attack of the Show" hosts Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn will join Lucasfilm's Steve Sansweet and a galaxy of guests from "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" and beyond including supervising director Dave Filoni, and voice talent from the show to provide an insider look at the "Star Wars" universe, with never-before-seen footage and a LIVE table read of an exclusive new "Clone Wars" script.

In addition, fans are invited to participate in the panel itself by submitting "Clone Wars" questions through a special G4 micro-site. Questions will be answered during the live presentation by Dave Filoni and other "Clone Wars" creatives!

2009's Comic-Con International also marks another Lucasfilm milestone the launch of the all-new Star Wars Stories Project. Fans of the Saga will have the unique opportunity to become a part of the Star Wars universe by contributing to Lucasfilm's own historical archive. Soliciting movie memories and nostalgia, the Star Wars Stories Project invites fans to share their own tales of fandom through video testimonials. In addition to online submissions, fans will have the opportunity to record their stories at Lucasfilm's pavilion on the Comic-Con floor.

Fans are invited to upload their fan stories here.

Yawn....

Lucas is good at hyping things up but I bet it won't live up to the hype.

This is a cool thing. I probably won't watch that much of it but the fact that alot of live cable time is being offered for heavy genre geek stuff is nice.

I've enjoyed episodes of SW:TCW when I catch them. It's a fun kid oriented show. Anakin Skywalker is certainly a much more mature character there than in the prequels.

I am really only interested in the MMORPG Star Wars: The old Republic.

Damn it, I don't get G4 cause I'm not a gamer so most of the shit they televise don't interest me. Why can't effing ESPN carry this :)

Let me guess... the "surprise announcement" will be that the "never-before-seen footage" will be incorporated into a new Really Really Special DVD and Blu-Ray Edition so that Lucas can yet again milk more money out of the mindless masses?

Holy shit!! This is what pisses me off about Lucas...his video game trailers are better than those piece of shit prequels he put together.   Sad sad sad

Just as long as we see Olivia Munn in the Princess Leia slave girl outfit...
