Comic-Con 2004 to host the 3rd Annual Star Wars Fan Film Awards. Here is the confirmation from the official website:

One event that is definitely confirmed is the return of the Star Wars Fan Film Awards. This is the last Comic-Con prior to the release of Star Wars: Episode III in 2005, so Lucasfilm promises a Star Wars spectacular you won’t forget. The third annual Star Wars Fan Film Awards Ceremony, which last year packed a 2,000-seat auditorium, will be held Thursday night, July 22. Last year's ceremony was hosted by Jeremy Bulloch (“Boba Fett” himself), and George Lucas (on tape) presented the top prize, followed by a hilarious presentation of the Star Wars Trilogy in 30 Minutes by an incredibly inventive troupe of actors. And once again Comic-Con will host “Star Wars Friday,” with morning-to-evening panels and presentations on every aspect of the films, the expanded universe, and the merchandise. Lucasfilm’s Steve Sansweet will host the main presentation and will undoubtedly bring his usual bag of surprises and never-before-seen goodies.
