Lucasfilm coming to D23 Expo 2019 with sneak peek of ‘The Mandolorian’

For the first time Lucasfilm will host a pavilion at D23 Expo on the show floor from August 23-25, 2019 with a display showcasing the evolution of the Star Wars stormtrooper.

The exhibit will include several of the screen-used costumes seen throughout the movie series. From the classic stormtrooper to the new design featured in the upcoming “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” film coming out this December. This display promises to a rare opportunity to examine these production costumes up close and study the many styles deployed throughout the franchise.

Also featured in the Lucasfilm pavilion will be a special section for young Padawans that will include Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures video shorts along with multiple interactive activities for kids.

And, as part of the Disney+ panel on Friday, August 23, at 3:30 p.m. in Hall D23, fans will get a sneak peek at Jon Favreau’s new bounty hunter series, “The Mandalorian.” This is the first Star Wars live-action series.

The Mandalorian (played by Pedro Pascal) is a bounty hunter who travels the outer reaches of the galaxy, surviving as a mercenary-for-hire. Dave Filoni (supervising director on Star Wars: The Clone Wars and writer/director on The Mandalorian), along with special guests, will join Favreau for the on-stage presentation.
