Star Wars Celebration 2023: Ahsoka Teaser, Daisy Ridley Returns, Andor Season 2 Release Window, and More
Star Wars Celebration 2023, held on April 7 in London, had a ton of surprises from Lucasfilm's galaxy far, far away, ranging from new information on TV shows and movies. This year's event coincides with the 40th-year anniversary of Return of the Jedi and drops details on three new theatrical movies, a teaser for the Rosario Dawson-led Ahsoka limited series, and exclusive first looks for Star Wars: The Acolyte and Andor season 2 for attendees at the event.
