‘Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker’ May Head To San Diego Comic-Con, But ‘The Mandalorian’ Is Waiting For D23
Star Warsfans were rewarded for their patience earlier this month when Star Wars Celebration unveiled not only the first teaser trailer and title for the final chapter of the Skywalker saga, but also the first footage from the upcoming live-action Disney+ seriesThe Mandalorian. But now fans will have to be patient once again before the next tease for bothStar Warsprojects arrives.

MakingStarWars.nethas word on the possibility of aStar Wars The Rise of SkywalkerComic-Con panel from what they call “a respected source.” Both the site and this source have a good track record when it comes to exclusive details like this, and they even have secondary confirmation from another respected source.Star Wars: The Last Jedisat out Comic-Con back in 2017, butStar Wars: The Force Awakensbrought the saga back to the convention in a big way back in 2015. DirectorJ.J. Abramsnot only brought a sizzle reel of behind the scenes footage, but he rewarded fanswith a surprise outdoor concertfeaturing the music ofStar Warsand another appearance from the film’s cast.
Considering how low-key the marketing (and even leaked details) forStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalkerhas been, San Diego Comic-Con makes the most sense for J.J. Abrams to come out of hiding again with some new details. I wouldn’t be surprised if he brought another behind the scenes sizzle reel to show off what they’ve been working on for theDecember 20, 2019release.
The Mandalorian at D23 Expo
While Comic-Con might get a taste ofThe Rise of Skywalker, the folks heading to the D23 Expo this year will get a sneak preview of the other bigStar Warsproject arriving this year:The Mandalorian.
In the same report aboutThe Rise of SkywalkerComic-Con panel, it is said thatThe Mandalorianwill get a big push at the Disney fan convention this August. That only makes sense since the series is one of the flagship shows that Disney will be using to sell their forthcoming streaming subscription service Disney+, which you canfind out more about over here.
The Mandalorianhad plenty of footage to show off at Star Wars Celebration. In addition to a behind the scenes sizzle reel, fans also caught a glimpse of two badass scenes, as well as what will likely be the first teaser trailer (whenever Disney chooses to release one to the public). Hopefully that means the D23 Expo will have something more to show fans, especially since it’ll be closer to theNovember 12, 2019launch of Disney+.
If you want a recap of the footage ofThe Mandalorianshown at Star Wars Celebration, check out ourcoverage from the convention earlier this month. Otherwise, the first episode of the series will be available when Disney+ launches. Beyond that, we’re not sure if new episodes will be available weekly after that, but hopefully we’ll hear more soon.
