As you’ve likely already seen, the Star Wars panel in Hall H at Comic-Con was a special moment for a lot of reasons, a big one being the presence of Harrison Ford. The actor has been on the mend since crashing his plane onto a golf course, but managed to show up and garner a standing ovation alongside his Star Wars castmates, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher.

But after the panel is where we got to see a little bit of that Harrison Ford charm shine through, joining the cast of The Force Awakens on stage at the special “secret” Star Wars concert by using a lightsaber as a cane:

Obviously he didn’t really need it, but how could you turn down the opportunity. Carrie Fisher also got to enter with a lightsaber, possibly a glimpse of what we’ll get to see in the movie after seeing her in character for the first time in that behind-the-scenes featurette:

Also this nice little photo op happened, reuniting Ford with his old flying buddy Peter Mayhew (who was in attendance and sat in front of the question area in Hall H). John Boyega and a bunch of Stormtroopers join them, including one that I guess can’t see out of his helmet, explaining that classic marksmanship:
