Alright, I'm going to just start dumping all the news from the Korra SDCC panel in this post. I will be updating it repeatedly over the next hour so if you come here in the middle of it, refresh often and you'll get more of it. Here we go! Just in case, there might be spoilers for whatever reason in this post. Just a precaution. All picture will be links so it looks more clean.
I WANT THIS

Avatar SpiritsIT'S HAPPENING
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BtaMA2UCEAALAmD.jpgBryan talking at the panel about the move to online:
“It’s a part of this hugs sea change in the whole industry. We’re seeing digital streaming doing their own content and doing their own thing. Things have changed just for us from when we did Avatar. When Book One of Korracame out, its online presence was insane. Not only the chatter, but the actualy numbers in terms of digital downloads and streaming–it’s just been huge. By the time we got to Book Two, the numbers of digital streaming, they greatly outweighed what happened on the channel. Nickelodeon has had a hard time to fit it into their programming. The Book Two finale had insane numbers when it streamed online–it was the biggest number they had all year. It’s just part of this shift. It definitely caught us by surprise. The important thing is the show is NOT cancelled!”
August 22nd is the two part finaleEpisode 8 is currently being shown at the panel, but I find that pointless since the episode airs tonight.

According to some of the people at SDCC, they said that they originally planned to go digital only at the beginning of Book 2 or 3 but they reversed that.
The creators claim this was always "part of the plan" though based on their reactions on twitter that just might be PR speak.
I find it curious that they haven't told us when the episodes "air" online on Fridays.
Episode it over, starting fan questions.
How would you rate Korra’s job as the Avatar?
Varney: This is a question I get a lot. Some people are like “Do you like Korra?” I think this episode we just got to watch is a great example of how much she’s come to understand that she’s the Avatar, but that doesn’t mean she can do her job alone. I think she’s on her journey. I’m proud of her–she’s wonderful and strong and human.
What’s the voice acting process?
Faustino: When I first started the show, I would rush through the script to find my lines, then as I became a fan I would read it all. We would get the script the night before and sometimes we would have the cast together when we’re all together. It’s tremendous and a lot of fun.
How have you seen Korra and Asami’s relationship develop?
Gabriel: My parents actually told me how cute Asami and Korra are together. I’m really happy, especially when two girls don’t let a guy get between them. I’m happy for them and I think they’re stronger together and they make Team Avatar stronger for it.
What’s your favorite part about voicing Lin?
Sterling: This is an amazing strong woman, who is fearless and powerful and feminine and hot looking! She’s not afraid to take control and charge and really does have this amazing facet to everything she does. I love, love playing her. Is she a little like me? I think all our characters have a little similarities to us. I’m not that strong or that powerful, but I am that feminine! She’s not mean, and I play a lot of really nasty women, and she’s not. She’s very matter of fact and protect the Avatar. She’s very motherly in the way and she has a lot of baggage and issues (which I do).
Apparently Varrick's voice actor started making some sex jokes and they had to reel him in. xD
Hm, I'm wondering if some of these questions are planted.
They are now showing off some Book 3 art.
They showed off some concept art for Zaheer and specifically tried to make a different design from Tarrlock since they made Unalaq a bit too close to his design.

To close out the panel, they gave one last sneak peek and lamented that “this will probably be the last big Korra panel”
They'll be going to New York Comic Con.
THAT'S A WRAP!
I'll post more stuff as I come across it. I know almost no one cares, but I mostly do this for myself.
