I crashed the insane 'Star Wars' fan concert at Comic-Con - here's what happened

Since "Star Wars" arrived in theaters in 1977, music has been at the core of the franchise.

Growing up in a family of diehard fans, I learned "The Imperial March" along with nursery rhymes.

So when I learned that at the end of the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" panel at San Diego Comic-Con, director J.J. Abrams invited all 6,500 fans in attendance at Hall H to a free, secret "Star Wars" concert - I knew I had to get in.

I did. And it blew away my expectations.
