Star Wars D23 2024: Lucasfilm Announces Schedule & Teases Surprising Announcements, "Exclusive New Content"

Get ready for another ultimate fan experience as D23 is back after a year off in 2023. After the surprising reveals at the recent San Diego Comic-Con 2024, like Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the MCU as Doctor Doom, another round of big announcements is set to take place at D23 2024. Lucasfilm has now announced the schedule for everything Star Wars at D23, starting from August 9 to 11 at Anaheim, California, and even teases "exclusive new content" and "surprise announcements."

StarWars.com breaks the news about the franchise’s panel at D23, where fans will learn more about their favorite Star Wars series and see the legends John Williams, who created the scores and iconic theme songs for Star Wars movies, Han Solo actor Harrison Ford, and Frank Oz, the voice and puppeteer behind Yoda. There will also be a special show solely for the upcoming Lucasfilm titles, probably like The Mandalorian & Grogu and Daisy Ridley, Dave Filoni, and James Mangold’s untitled Star Wars movies.

During the three-day event, the studio will hold panels and presentations across three locations: the Lucasfilm booth, the Disney+ pavilion, and the Honda Center. There will also be an event called Star Wars Darkade, where attendees can play at the first-ever Star Wars villains-themed arcade, win prizes, and check out new merch.

Here are the other presentations you can see at D23 2024:
