Comic-Con is back at the San Diego Convention Center two years after COVID-19 shut down live events
Among the top draws of the four-day convention — happening July 21 to 24 — are the panels, which include discussions on industry topics like disability representation, talks with actors and directors about popular and cult-classic shows and movies, and exclusive screenings of film trailers and new TV episodes. Fans line up hours in advance for the most notable panels.
“It was fun and a way to help people with their mental health during a hard time,” says Morrow, who has covered Comic-Con for 20 years for many outlets, including CNN. “About 10,000 people showed up the first year and around 30,000 came in 2021.” “We cosplayed her as Princess Leia as a joke,” says Prout. “But by 3 or 4, she was a Jedi fighting everybody with her little lightsaber.”“We practice the penguin rule of thumb,” he explains. “She’s never alone. Cosplay is safety in numbers. There are kids you can’t see if you’re masked, and there are some creeps as well.”
In 2015, Canole spray-painted a Darth Vader helmet gold and added some steampunk accouterments. He paired the headwear with a bold Hawaiian shirt and Dude Vader was born. Canole quickly got the Lucasfilm nod of approval to appear at charitable events and has participated in more than 600 around Southern California since then.
