And speaking of "Ahsoka," according to Jordan Maison at Cinelinx — and confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter — Eman Esfandi (of "The Inspection" and "King Richard") has been cast as Ezra Bridger in the series. 

A Jedi Padawan and freedom fighter from Lothal, Ezra is one of the main characters of the animated series "Star Wars Rebels." At the end of that show, Grand Admiral Thrawn's Star Destroyer, the Chimaera, was pulled into hyperspace by Purgill (space whales), with Thrawn and Ezra aboard. The final scenes showed Ahsoka Tano teaming up with Sabine Wren to search the galaxy for Ezra (and Thrawn), which is where the live-action series will pick up the story. 

On the animated side of things, Lucasfilm revealed the official trailer (above) for "Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi," a six-part animated short series coming to Disney+ on October 26, 2022. The series will feature Ahsoka Tano, Qui-Gon Jinn, Mace Windu, Count Dooku, Yaddle, and more. 

David Filoni also confirmed that the second season of "Star Wars: The Bad Batch" will arrive on January 4, 2023, with a two-episode premiere on Disney+. 

Also highlighted at D23, "Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures," an upcoming animated series set during the High Republica era:

"Kai Brightstar is a Jedi youngling who hopes to grow in the ways of the Force and follow in the footsteps of Master Yoda. Nash Durango is a pilot who befriends Kai and company, joining them on adventures across the galaxy."
