D23 Event To Feature Star Wars Galore

The completely sold out D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is taking place this weekend in Anaheim, CA. For attendees, there is no lack of Star Wars to take in. At the Lucasfilm Booth, fans can experience ILM StageCraft, the technology used to bring to life the worlds of The Mandalorian, Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka and more. There will also be special photo opportunities.

Fans can also stop by the Disney+ Pavilion during the event to celebrate Disney's exclusive streaming service and the full catalog of Star Wars content. There, they will also get a preview of a special Star Wars: Skeleton Crew photo opportunity inspired by the new series debuting on Disney+ December 3.

Finally, fans can head to the Star Wars Darkade inside the World of Disney: The Product Experience, where they can test their skills at a Star Wars villains-themed arcade for a chance to win prizes and check out new Star Wars products.
