Veteran filmmakers like Jon Favreau, Shawn Levy, and Dave Filoni dropped some major details on their upcoming projects. Progress updates were made on The Mandalorian & Grogu, as well as Shawn Levy’s new Star Wars film starring Ryan Gosling, titled Star Wars: Starfighter.
Later came additional announcements that there are four more projects *officially* confirmed to be in the development stage.
