With just one week to go until the D23: Ultimate Fan Event, which is taking place from Friday, 9th August 2024, through to Sunday, 11th August 2024, at the Anaheim Convention Center/Honda Center, just across the street from Disneyland.

Fans will be able to experience an outstanding lineup of over 230 panels and presentations, show floor offerings, and Talent Central interactions.   Today, Disney has announced details on some of the upcoming Star Wars panels and presentations that will be a part of the show, which include some Disney+ Originals like “The Acolyte” and “Young Jedi Adventures”.

Here’s the rundown of the locations at D23:

Lucasfilm Booth

Throughout the event, Lucasfilm is excited to offer D23 attendees the opportunity to experience first-hand the magic of ILM StageCraft, the technology used to bring to life the worlds of The Mandalorian, Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka and more. Visit the Lucasfilm pavilion for immersive photo opps and join luminaries from behind the scenes of the Star Wars galaxy for more on how this innovative technology is bringing storytelling into the future.

Disney+ Pavilion

Stop by the Disney+ Pavilion during D23 for a chance to celebrate the streaming service and its full catalog of Star Wars offerings. Plus, get a preview of coming attractions with a “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” photo opportunity inspired by the thrilling new live-action series debuting on Disney+ December 3. In the spirit of the Amblin coming-of-age films from the 1980s like The Goonies and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Skeleton Crew stars Jude Law, Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Kyriana Kratter, and Robert Timothy Smith. Series creators and head writers Jon Watts and Christopher Ford also serve as executive producers alongside Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy, and Colin Wilson.

Star Wars Darkade

Located inside the World of Disney: The Product Experience, each day you can test your skills at the first-ever Star Wars villains-themed arcade for a chance to win prizes while checking out new Star Wars products.
