'Twilight' Stars Say Goodbye at the 'Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2' Press Conference

Thursday marked the end of an angsty, brooding era at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con press conference for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2."

When we first met them five years ago, they were anonymous teenagers; today, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are among some of the most recognizable faces in movies. Stewart even made reference to their coming-of-age together, saying to Lautner: "The first time I met you, you were a kid. After 'New Moon,' you weren't a kid anymore."

Those in attendance at the press conference were given a special treat as new "blood" (pardon the pun) Mackenzie Foy (Renesmee) joined the panel along with "Twilight" author Stephenie Meyer, who took the stage for the first time since the movies made their first appearance at Comic-Con.

Pattinson spoke fondly of their Con experiences: "Premieres are just walking around in a haze with people screaming at you," he said. "It's exercise. [Like] doing a marathon actually. Comic-Con is nice because you get to walk around."

Fans of the "Twilight" series line up for days to catch a glimpse of their beloved icons, and it was no exception at Comic-Con this year. "The characters in the books are what these fans fell in love with," said Lautner. Meyer added that the phenomenon "still surprises me all the time."

Rumors have already been swirling online of a possible "Twilight" reboot, even though the franchise hasn't even finished yet. Pattinson commented that he "would love to see that," and joked that he would "pity the person who takes over my part. I would make a campaign against them."

When they looked back on their favorite moments from filming, newest cast member Foy, who remained quiet throughout the conference, sweetly added, "For me it would be the whole thing, because every moment was perfect."
