One of the panels I missed at Star Wars Celebration VI was the ‘Why We Love the Prequels’ panel. Fortunately Eric Gellar has posted the hour long panel on Youtube for all to enjoy. Panel features Eric Geller, Kyle Newman (Fanboys director), Clare Grant (The Clone Wars voice actress), Tom Hodges (Star Wars artist), Jesse Hildreth (Lucasfilm Animation lighting specialist), Bryan Young (BigShinyRobot editor), Pablo Hidalgo.
