With Star Wars Celebration Europe last year and SWC Japan happening next April, there may not be a ton of Star Wars news at D23 2024, but it’s likely we’ll still get something! The Disney Entertainment Showcase at the Honda Center from 7pm-9pm is set to cover many areas of shows and movies made by the company. Skeleton Crew is due to release later this year, according to Collider . In addition, Andor season 2 is approaching soon, too! There is also the possibility of a tease of the LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy animated special, releasing September 13th.

Disney Legend honorees for 2024 Frank Oz, Harrison Ford, and John Williams
D23 2024 will honor Star Wars-connected Disney Legends (L-R) Frank Oz, Harrison Ford, and John Williams.

Every D23, Disney honors those who have contributed to the company’s legacy with the Disney Legends Awards CeremonyThis year, three of the honorees include Star Wars legends. Just touching on their impact on Star Wars, these include:

  • Harrison Ford, who portrayed the scruffy-looking nerf herder Han Solo in the original trilogy of films and two of the sequel trilogy movies.
  • Frank Oz, the puppeteer and voice of Jedi Master Yoda across many Star Wars projects.
  • John Williams, who scored all nine of the main Skywalker Star Wars films and gave us so many iconic, beautiful moments of music.

The ceremony will take place from 5pm-7pm at the Honda Center. Fans who have Anaheim Convention Center-only tickets can watch a simulcast at the Premiere Stage.
