Lucasfilm Is Planning a “Surprising” ‘Star Wars’ Announcement at the D23 Next Week

As a lifelong Star Wars enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in this galaxy far, far away, I can confidently say that the upcoming D23 event is shaping up to be the ultimate celebration for fans like me. Having grown up with the original trilogy and then being captivated by the prequels, sequels, and spin-offs, it’s mind-blowing to see how the franchise continues to evolve and surprise us.


The Star Wars collection created by George Lucas is a popular and enduring element of modern science fiction. Originally conceived as an expansive space opera, it has grown into one of the most celebrated and beloved franchises in history. For several decades, Star Wars has captivated numerous generations of fans with its imaginative universe, maintaining its status as one of the greatest fictional realms ever envisioned.

Regardless of being a prominent element in modern science fiction, it’s important to note that the Star Wars series hasn’t escaped criticism, especially following Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm some years back. Kathleen Kennedy has frequently been the focus of such remarks, but despite the controversies, the franchise remains robust.

As a dedicated gamer, I’m thrilled about the grand schemes in store for us at the upcoming D23 fan event. From what I’ve gathered, it seems Lucasfilm has some exciting surprises lined up just for us fans!

According to Lucasfilm’s recent announcement, fans can look forward to gaining insights into their beloved “Star Wars” series and honoring three iconic “Star Wars” figures: composer John Williams, actor Harrison Ford (known for his role as Han Solo), and Frank Oz, the man behind Yoda’s voice and puppetry. This event promises to be a remarkable highlight of the year. At D23, there are many other exciting things in store for attendees as well.
