What These Panels Mean For Star Wars

Perhaps Not A Surprise, But Definitely A Thrill

The multiple panels focusing on upcoming Star Wars movies and TV shows aren’t entirely surprising, given that Star Wars has nothing else in the works – at least, that we know of yet. It’s expected that they will make some more announcements on future projects at Star Wars Celebration, including their next major animated TV show, now that Star Wars: The Bad Batch has come to an end. While it may not be surprising, though, to hear more about these projects, it’s no less thrilling.

There’s Going To Be No Shortage Of Exciting Star Wars Reveals

Prepare To Learn So Much More About What’s To Come

These Star Wars projects are all highly anticipated, and with so much Star Wars happening between Celebration 2023 and this year’s event in Japan, there’s a lot to discuss. For one, the Ahsoka panel will surely celebrate the live-action Ahsoka Tano and Hayden Christensen’s unforgettable scenes. Andor season 2 is also huge, given how successful and well-received season 1 was.

Perhaps the biggest of them all, however, is The Mandalorian and Grogu, as it will be Star Wars’ first movie since 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker – and there will be some special guests alongside Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni. We’ll be hoping for more information on the movie’s cast as well. Expect to hear plenty of exciting things about Star Wars’ next movie and TV shows at Star Wars Celebration with these panels and their special guests.

Star Wars Celebration will take place from April 18-20 in Tokyo, Japan.
