The internet is still abuzz with the 'Star Wars' presentation at the San Diego Comic-Con. At the end of the panel, director J.J. Abrams invited everyone in Hall H to a live concert at an outside park venue.
The attendees were not just treated to a performance by a live orchestra; everyone also received their very own toy lightsabers in green, blue or red.
The instant concert was a success, but it also left Hall H deserted. This wouldn't have been a big deal, however there was still one last panel set to present after 'Star Wars.'
Director Kevin Smith, who was getting ready for his own 'Yoga Hosers' panel, was shocked to see people piling out of the venue right before his presentation.
Smith snapped a Twitter photo of Storm Troopers lining up to leave Hall H, and added the caption, "Oh God. Backstage at #HallH. @starwars panel just invited 6.5k audience to watch a Star Wars concert. Everyone left."

Abrams did not mean to do this to Kevin Smith. After all, the two directors are close friends. When he found out what happened, he immediately apologized to Smith.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry, I feel like Darth Vader."
According to Smith, J.J Abrams later sent an email with further apologies. "I'm mortified, I'm f--king like I would never do that to anyone, let alone somebody I adore, like you," the 'Star Wars' director reportedly wrote to Smith.
The 'Mallrats' director admitted that he was initially excited to see the Stormtroopers backstage, but his excitement immediately turned into disbelief when people started walking out the venue.
Kevin Smith compared the incident to the scene in 'Carrie,' where the teenager is crowned prom queen then finds herself drenched in pig blood.
'Yoga Hosers' stars Smith's daughter Harley Quinn Smith and Lily-Rose Depp, daughter of Johnny Depp who will also appear in the film.
