Season two of Star Wars: Ahsoka is still months away, but Lucasfilm still took the opportunity to tease it a bit at D23. The company dropped the first trailer for the new season ahead of its January 20th, 2027 debut. The clip shows a darker, witchcraft-filled take on the Star Wars universe, with Grand Admiral Thrawn (blue skin, red eyes, and an unsettlingly calm demeanor) threatening to thrust the galaxy back into large-scale war after the fall of the Empire.

Ryan Gosling also took the stage at D23 to tease the upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter movie. Unfortunately, while some footage was shown, it was exclusive to those in the room, and Lucasfilm hasn’t officially released it online. There have been a few supposed leaks posted on social media, but we haven’t been able to verify their authenticity. However, it likely won’t be too long before the general public gets a look, with Star Wars: Starfighter scheduled to hit theaters on May 28th, 2027, starring Matt Smith, Aaron Pierre, Mia Goth, and more alongside Gosling.
