The Mandalorian Season 3

During CCXP, the Comic-Con Experience in Brazil, creator Jon Favreau, executive producer Dave Filoni, and star Pedro Pascal shared the news that "The Mandalorian" Season 3 will stream exclusively on Disney+ starting March 1, 2023.

According to Writers Guild of America West, here's a look at Season 3's writing team:

• Episode 3-1 written by: Jon Favreau
• Episode 3-2 written by: Jon Favreau
• Episode 3-3 written by: Jon Favreau & Noah Kloor
• Episode 3-4 written by: Jon Favreau & Dave Filoni
• Episode 3-5 written by: Jon Favreau
• Episode 3-6 written by: Jon Favreau
• Episode 3-7 written by: Jon Favreau & Dave Filoni
• Episode 3-8 written by: Jon Favreau

Noah Kloor was a staff writer on "The Book of Boba Fett," so it's safe to assume the Daimyo of Mos Espa will appear in Episode 3. With Filoni's name attached to Episodes 4 & 7, one might expect to see Ahsoka Tano or other characters from the upcoming "Ahsoka" series, like Sabine Wren, make an appearance.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

The official reveal trailer of "Star Wars Jedi: Survivor" premiered during this year's Game Awards ceremony, which you can view above. The game is scheduled to release on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on March 17, 2023. Here's the synopsis:

"'Star Wars Jedi: Survivor' picks up five years after the events of 'Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.' Cal must stay one step ahead of the Empire's constant pursuit as he continues to feel the weight of being one of the last remaining Jedi in the galaxy. Developed by the veteran team at Respawn Entertainment, 'Jedi: Survivor' will expand upon iconic 'Star Wars' stories, worlds, and characters, and thrilling combat first experienced in 'Jedi: Fallen Order.'"
