This past weekend was the latest massive Disney update: the D23 Expo 2015, with presentations for Disney's live-action films, Disney Animation, Pixar, Marvel Studios, and Lucasfilm, not to mention the Disney Parks. We covered Star Wars extensively, from the announcement of Colin Trevorrow as Star Wars Episode IX director to the new cast announcements for Rogue One, and other details.
