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.

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.
