Here's what to expect and what's been announced at Star Wars Celebration 2025

Star Wars Celebration 2025 is well underway, and three have been plenty of reveals. Any expectations that this year's convention would be quieter were promptly blown out the water by the very first panel, which you can read all about below.
We've got every major reveal from this year's Celebration right here, so you can get up to speed at a glance. We've also got the lowdown on what to expect from the rest of the weekend.
GamesRadar+ is on the ground in Japan, and we're keeping this page updated with all the latest news. So, for all things Star Wars Celebration 2025, don't look any further than this page. This is the way!
Everything announced at Star Wars Celebration 2025
Star Wars: Starfighter
It's official: the Shawn Levy Star Wars movie isn't just happening, it's shooting this fall and will release on May 28, 2027. It will be set after The Rise of Skywalker, and it will feature new characters.
"I think the reality is that this script is just so good. It has such a good story with great and original characters, it's filled with so much heart and adventure, and there just really is not a more perfect filmmaker for this particular story than Shawn," said Gosling in a surprise appearance at the convention.
Levy and Gosling made their entrance before The Mandalorian & Grogu panel kicked off, which was one exciting way to open the weekend.
The Mandalorian & Grogu
The Mandalorian & Grogu showed off some new set photos and debuted some footage at Star Wars Celebration. The footage featured a glimpse at what appeared to be Jeremy Allen White's Rotta the Hutt, as well as Grogu using the Force, Mando blasting some troopers, and more.

Plus, it looks like Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin will be maskless at least once, judging by those new pictures.

Maul: Shadow Lord
A brand new animated series about Maul is on the way, coming in 2027. A trailer was played (twice) at the convention, showing Maul on the hunt for an apprentice.
Andor season 2
Andor season 2 is right around the corner, and those in attendance at Saturday's panel were able to watch the first episode.
The cast and showrunner Tony Gilroy were also present, and Diego Luna shared a heart warming amount of love for Alan Tudyk.
Ahsoka
The Ahsoka season 2 panel was packed with reveals. Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau, Rosario Dawson, and Hayden Christensen attended the panel, and we learned a whole lot about the new show.
Christensen will return as Anakin Skywalker, Game of Thrones star Rory McCann will step in for the late Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll, Admiral Ackbar will also return, and there was even a first look (of sorts).
Star Wars Celebration 2025 panels still to come
Visions
Star Wars's animated anthology series Visions is returning for season 3, and we can expect an update on the project at Star Wars Celebration 2025. "Celebrate the first two volumes of Star Wars: Visions and the animated anthology’s anticipated return to anime. Hear from new and returning studios as they share a sneak peek of their Volume 3 shorts," says the panel's description. This panel will be held at 10am JST on April 20 (9pm ET/6pm PT on April 19, 2am BST on April 20). A first look at season 3 has already been unveiled.
