I was only there one day, but it was pretty good. Unfortunately the "important" panels (Kathleen Kennedy, Carrie Fisher) were pretty much scripted. Other panels (Ben Burtt, Doug Chiang) were open for audience questions (and really informative - especially Burtt showing some of his private Super8 films from the making of the movies, including going through the landfill behind Elstree, where he showed stuff like the trashed Falcon and even stumbling across a wall from The Well of Souls).
I was afraid of that. That's how it was at CV. My favorite panel there was with Robert Watts. He was filled with all kinds of awesome stories.
I hope someone filmed that panel, it sounds awesome.
