Today was Star Wars Day at Comic-Con International, which always means stormtroopers on the move.

It seems like everyone has a camera at Comic-Con and anyone in costume comes ready to pose.

Even superheroes on the move work it for the camera.

Skip works at the San Diego Convention Center and has worked Comic-Con for 20 years. He said this was the largest Friday crowd he's ever seen, rivaling the Saturday crowds of years past.

Everywhere you looked, there were crowds moving in and around the convention center.

Today I discovered that the Society for Creative Anachronism stages combats on the mezzanine level of the convention center during Comic-Con. The SCA is devoted to the study and preservation of the Middle Ages.

SCA members fight with swords (made of rattan) and real armor (very heavy). They claim to recreate the fun parts of medieval society, like feasts, costumes and sword fighting, and leave out plagues, lice, and beheadings.

After the combats, the participants invite the kids in the crowd to enter the ring and learn how to sword fight. They call it "Whack-a-Knight."

A crowd of photographers gathered at the sight of Disney heroines (see next picture).

These were not the traditional Disney heroines, which explains the large number of male photographers.
