With so many major announcements, we've compiled a list of the most unmissable reveals below. We're eager to hear which of these announcements has you most thrilled about the future of Star Wars!
The Ahsoka panel at Star Wars Celebration was packed with thrilling updates for the show's second season. A highlight was the first look at Rory McCann as Baylan Skoll, stepping into the role following the passing of Ray Stevenson. The panel showcased an exclusive image of McCann in character, stirring excitement among fans. Additionally, it was confirmed that Hayden Christensen will reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker in Season 2, promising more depth to the series.
Season 2 promises to bring back fan-favorite characters like Sabine, Ezra, Zeb, and Chopper, alongside introducing new elements such as Admiral Ackbar's significant role and his confrontation with Grand Admiral Thrawn. Adorable Loth-Kittens and an array of starfighters, including X-Wings, A-Wings, and some yet-to-be-revealed types, are also set to appear, according to Dave Filoni.
Following the announcement of his return in Ahsoka Season 2, Hayden Christensen shared insights into reprising Anakin Skywalker after nearly two decades. He expressed his fondness for the darker themes in Star Wars and even revealed his favorite Anakin meme, adding a personal touch to the excitement surrounding his return.
In an amusing revelation, Rosario Dawson, along with Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau, shared how she was unaware of Mark Hamill's return as Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian until he appeared on set during the filming of The Book of Boba Fett. Dawson, like many, assumed Plo Koon would be the Jedi savior in the Season 2 finale, a clever misdirection used in the scripts.
The Mandalorian & Grogu is set to hit theaters on May 22, 2026, marking the first Star Wars film since 2019's The Rise of Skywalker. The panel not only teased the upcoming film but also surprised attendees with the announcement of Star Wars: Starfighter, directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Gosling, slated for a May 28, 2027 release.
Footage from The Mandalorian & Grogu included scenes of an Imperial ship gearing up for battle, Mando facing off against Flame Troopers, collapsing AT-AT walkers, and the introduction of Sigourney Weaver's character. Of course, Grogu was shown in all his adorable and chaotic glory, engaging in swimming and levitating objects.
Sigourney Weaver discussed her experience joining The Mandalorian & Grogu at Star Wars Celebration. Despite not having watched the series before being cast, she shared how Grogu won her over and even humorously compared his powers to those of a Xenomorph.
Star Wars: Starfighter, announced at Star Wars Celebration, will feature Ryan Gosling in a new role, set five years after The Rise of Skywalker. While details remain sparse, the film will add to an exciting lineup of upcoming Star Wars movies, including those from The Mandalorian & Grogu, Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy, James Mangold, Taika Waititi, and a trilogy from Simon Kinberg.

Walt Disney Imagineering's Asa Kalama and Disney Live Entertainment's Michael Serna shared updates on future Star Wars experiences at Disney Parks. They discussed the upcoming Mandalorian & Grogu-themed update for Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, the introduction of adorable BDX droids, and how they bring the magic of Star Wars to life, allowing fans to immerse themselves in their favorite stories and characters.
Alongside the cinematic release of The Mandalorian & Grogu on May 22, 2026, Din Djarin and Grogu will enhance the experience at Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. This new mission, diverging from the film's plot, involves a high-stakes chase across the galaxy, as Hondo Ohnaka leads guests in pursuit of a bounty involving ex-Imperial officers and pirates.
Engineers will not only care for Grogu during the ride but also have the exciting ability to choose their adventure's path, navigating to Bespin, the Death Star wreckage above Endor, or the newly-revealed Coruscant.
