Disney Investor Day took place virtually this year and after sitting through hours of information, we were shown plenty of future Disney projects. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy presented all upcoming Lucasfilm projects. And we admit, it had us getting goosebumps. Check out the upcoming film and tv shows below.
Star Wars: Rangers of the New Republic and Star Wars: Ahsoka
The Mandalorian spinoffs were developed to run together and converge into one big multi-event on Disney+. Star Wars: Clone Wars and Rebels Jedi Ahsoka Tano made her first live-action appearance in The Mandalorian. Ahsoka’s story will continue in a limited series. Rosario Dawson will reprise her role as Ahsoka Tano. Dave Filoni will write the story and executive produce along with Jon Favreau.
