Her Universe highlighted Saturday at SDCC

While the bulk of San Diego’s Star Wars panels seem to happen on Friday, there are a few happening on Saturday and Sunday, including the Her Universe panel. Here are my picks:

This conversation is meant to be educational and informative, putting the executives and buyers in direct communication with the fans. Ashley will give fans a glimpse of how the retailers stay in tune with their customers and how they develop compelling designs.
