There wasn’t a lot of meat on the bone for announcements from Lucasfilm at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event but fans still got the chance to see stars from upcoming titles including Jude Law and Diego Luna plus behind-the-camera-stars Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau.
Here’s a look at what we learned during the Disney Entertainment Showcase at the 2024 D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event.
The announcements for Lucasfilm came as part of the Disney Entertainment Showcase which was a sold out separately ticketed add-on for the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. The forever-fabulous fantastic fangirl Yvette Nicole Brown was the host for an evening filled with news and reveals from across Disney’s wide umbrella of properties.
There wasn’t much in the way of surprises for Lucasfilm but there was still some morsels for their upcoming theatrical and streaming titles taking place in a galaxy far, far away.
