QUOTES FROM THE PANEL:

"Only at Comic Con do you get a Kermit impersonation in front of Jim Henson's daughter and Rocketman sitting next to Skywalker." -Damian Holbrook, TV Guide (moderator)

"This is the thing I am most proud of that we have done. Being in Hall H with this show is the greatest moment of my professional life." -Lisa Henson

"To be able to do the things you loved as a kid...I'm the luckiest guy in the world. I'm so grateful." -Mark Hamill

"Every shot was the most complicated shot of my career. But the true heroes are the puppeteers." -Louis Leterrier

"The amount of craft that goes into the making of the puppets, the artistry that goes into those creatures, and then the guys who operate them. We arrive and it's there. It's inspiring in itself, the work that everyone else has done kind of feeds your performance." -Taron Egerton

"I never thought it would come back, when I saw the original. Funny that would never dream of going back to something that you were known for, so long before." -Mark Hamill
