News from D23 Expo 2019

Disney's D23 Expo starts tomorrow, but preview images and info is already hitting the airwaves. Just starting a post to collate it in one place.

Have put the schedule, with NZT timings, of various panels up here: http://www.swnz.co.nz/2019/08/22/d23-expo-this-weekend/

Highlights will be, at the very least, The Mandalorian content tomorrow, and Episode 9 content on our Sunday.

The "exterior" view of the starship that will be the Walt Disney World hotel was revealed. This is the hotel that is also a role-playing experience where you board a ship and stay on board after hours but are transported to Black Spire Outpost/Batuu during the day.
