Disney spent a portion of its D23 Expo presentation to highlight some of the future projects coming from Lucasfilm and the Star Wars franchise, including the announcement of The Mandalorian’s third season.

The D23 Expo was at the Anaheim Convention Center near Disneyland in Southern California. The event is a fan experience where Disney and its subsidiaries provide information and trailers via presentations.

Disney showcased numerous updates and trailers during its Lucasfilm and Star Wars presentations, some of which were exclusive to the presentation. Here’s what fans can expect:

• The final trailer of Andor dropped during the Star Wars presentation. This show is centered on Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) and his recruitment into the rebellion against the Empire. It takes place five years before Rogue One. The series is now airing every Wednesday on Disney Plus.
