Director Kevin Smith learned that the hard way.
Smith was pumped to share his feelings on anything and everything from his AMC series "Comic Book Men" to the "Star Wars" panel that came before him during the 7:15 p.m. panel for his new movie "Yoga Hosers."
I'm going to #HallH for @starwars & in my q&a, I'm gonna gush about SW. And then we'll watch a @YogaHosers trailer. https://t.co/RPEMHYZx2X

However, there was just one problem.
At the end of the "Star Wars" panel, everyone was invited and swept away to a secret "Star Wars" concert, leaving the normally packed Hall H feeling strangely empty.
Oh God. Backstage at #HallH. @starwars panel just invited 6.5k audience to watch a Star Wars concert. Everyone left. pic.twitter.com/kIzfFhWzfY

Even though the Empire has emptied #HallH, like the Rebellion, we're soldier on and do a show! Unforgettable #SDCC https://t.co/q6y86PHfno

Those who attend saw a trailer for his new film and were able to ask Smith about anything from his vast knowledge of the Con and about his new movie.
