Star Wars has had a presence at D23 in recent times, and it’s anticipated they’ll achieve this once more in 2024. Last 12 months, over the last D23 Expo, Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni received on stage to introduce the first teaser trailer for The Mandalorian season 3, a recut model of a promo proven to Star Wars Celebration attendees months earlier.

We would possibly study extra this Sunday, as Destination D23, one other biennial Disney occasion that’s one way or the other completely different however type of the identical, is set to host a 90-minute Walt Disney Studios showcase panel the place Lucasfilm’s presence is feasible.
