Summary
- Surprisingly, there were very few Star Wars announcements at D23.
- Many people are looking forward to the slew of Star Wars movies and TV shows that are set to air.
- Why Star Wars didn’t take full advantage of D23 remains a mystery.
D23 2024 just ended, Star Wars Announcements were surprisingly few, which makes me wonder why the series didn’t take better advantage of this huge opportunity. Star Wars There are a ton of upcoming movies and TV shows, but there’s barely any information about a lot of these pending projects. As a result, many people (myself included) assumed D23 would be filled with trailers, updates, release dates, and maybe even a few surprise announcements.
Elsewhere at D23, the story was similar. Disney announced several major movies, ranging from sequels to entirely new films. However, Star Wars Movies and TV shows have not received the same attention. Star Wars During D23 it was much less well received than many expected, and I still don’t understand why.

There have been a lot of shocking announcements at D23 2024 — here’s everything the event revealed about upcoming Star Wars projects.
Multiple Star Wars D23 announcements expected
People are Star Wars Due to the ongoing development of the series, there was little news at D23. LEGO Star Wars: Rebuilding the Galaxy and Star Wars: Skull Squad All are now available. Upcoming series that have not yet been assigned a release date include Andorra Season 2, though set to premiere sometime in 2025, Ahsoka The second season’s premiere date (including year) is completely unknown. However, The Mandalorian Season 4, and Star Wars It has been confirmed that Asajj Ventress will be returning in an undetermined future project.
The Mandalorian and Grogu
It is confirmed to be released on May 22, 2026.
As far as movies are concerned, The Mandalorian and Grogu It has been confirmed that it will be released on May 22, 2026, and Rey’s upcoming Star Wars The film is expected to be released soon. However, Star Wars The company also has several mystery movies in the works, from a Taika Waititi film to a Shawn Levy film. In addition, there is a movie about the origins of the Jedi, rumored to be called Dawn of the Jedihas also been confirmed to appear in the future of the series.
There are many expected projects, even though Star Wars The question of whether they will actually happen has yet to be resolved. One of the most anticipated is Acolyte Season 2. The series has not yet announced if it will have a second season, but many are looking forward to the arrival of the second season and the announcement at D23.
No major Star Wars news revealed at D23
Although all known and unknown projects are being launched one after another, Star Warsvery little information was revealed at D23. The biggest Star Wars Updates throughout the weekend are Skeleton crewWhile this is exciting, it may be Star Wars. The show has been confirmed to be released on December 3, 2024, so the trailer will be released soon. D23 also released Rebuilding the Milky Waywhich is exciting. However, given that the show premiered in September of this year, the news is not surprising.
In addition to these two trailers, Star Wars Announce The Mandalorian and Grogu Currently in production, it has been confirmed that Orson Krennic and K-2SO will appear in Andorra Season 2. Considering Star Wars I was really struck by the sparse updates at D23. In fact, the most surprising thing was that Star Wars The news revealed at D23 was that there were no announcements for any animated TV shows.
This would have been an ideal time for the series to gain more attention.
What makes the lack of announcements and updates at D23 even more confusing is that this would have been an ideal time for the series to receive more attention. Acolyte The show just finished, and with that show coming to an end, interest in the series has naturally died down. Although there are two more shows coming later this year, Rebuilding the Milky Way nor Skeleton crew Plus, with the next movie not coming out for a few years, it would have been a great time to get people excited about the future.
Why didn’t Star Wars take advantage of this massive event?
The cause is unclear Star Wars There is no desire to capitalize on the excitement and attention that D23 brings to make any truly significant announcements. The most glaring omission, in my opinion, is the lack of confirmation Acolyte Season 2 is coming. In fact, Manny Jacinto had his own Q&A session, which many people were expecting to be the reveal at D23. Now, this has sparked questions about Acolyte Season 2 is happening now.
But whether it is or not, it is certain Star Wars There are many shows and movies in the pipeline, but the series has yet to be announced. Why a more significant announcement wasn’t made this weekend may remain a mystery. However, perhaps as time goes on, Star Wars The team’s secret weapon will be revealed, along with an explanation for why these announcements weren’t made at D23.
