D23: Ultimate Fan Event is almost here, and fans have high expectations for the upcoming announcements, especially when it comes to the Star Wars franchise.
Happening from August 14 to 16 in Anaheim, California, the fan event promises to reveal exciting news about all things Disney, from movies and series to theme parks and more.
Sure, there may be more revelations about Marvel’s upcoming projects, especially Avengers: Doomsday, but what about Star Wars? Here are three predictions for what may be announced from a galaxy far, far away.
Star Wars: Starfighter
Star Wars will return to the big screen with Star Wars: Starfighter, following the box-office disappointment of The Mandalorian & Grogu. Disney hopes this new film will hit all the right notes for the franchise.
Directed by Shawn Levy and led by Ryan Gosling, the movie promises an original story featuring brand-new characters–set five years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
So far, details about the film remain scarce, with only the basic premise known: a young Force-sensitive child and his uncle embark on a journey across the galaxy.
But that may finally change when D23 arrives, as an official synopsis, character introductions, and even a trailer could be revealed.
In addition to Gosling, Starfighter also stars Flynn Gray, Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, and Amy Adams.
The film is currently scheduled to be released on May 28, 2027.
Ahsoka Season 2
As the next TV series from the Star Wars universe, fans may finally get an update on the highly anticipated Ahsoka Season 2 at D23.
It has been three years since the first season ended, and not much has been revealed about the upcoming season yet.
From Game of Thrones star Rory McCann taking over the late Ray Stevenson’s role as Baylan Skoll to a much-awaited official trailer and release date, a lot could finally be revealed at Disney’s biggest fan event.
As showrunner Dave Filoni has teased before, Ahsoka Season 2 will be an “all-out war,” which is something fans are looking forward to seeing.
The Mandalorian Season 4
Din Djarin and Grogu’s journey is far from over, and many fans are still expecting their return in a potential The Mandalorian Season 4.
The movie has failed to excite fans at the box office, with negative reviews, poor reception, and disappointing earnings.
Despite that, though, there’s no denying that Din and Grogu remain two of the most beloved characters in the franchise.
So, if they don’t return to the big screen, Disney may bring them back to the small screen and finally announce the much-awaited The Mandalorian Season 4.
Given that upcoming Disney+ shows are often announced at D23, this could finally include Din and Grogu’s return to TV.
