D23 Expo 2022: Guide for Boba Fett Fans
Just for Boba Fett fans, here is our guide to D23 Expo 2022 which is Friday, September 9 thru Sunday, September 11. Consider this your very own checklist to all the Boba Fett sightings as we learn about it.
We weren’t invited to cover this one as press, but nevertheless we’ll update the guide as we hear from fans and vendors at the convention.
Need a map? You can find the PDF map on their official website.
Friday, September 9
- 9:00am (all times Pacific): in-person queue for Disney Studio Store Hollywood (Map Code S4) and FiGPiN (Booth 1121 / Map Code S15) opens — they both have Fett exclusive pins ($27 and $20 respectively); if running late like after 10am, use the Virtual Queue instead
- Topps’ Star Wars Card Trader (Booth 1913) has two non-Fett exclusives cards, but appears to have an online-ready set with Boba Fett from The Mandalorian Season 2 dropping on this day, too
- 1:00pm – 1:40pm: The official livestream will only carry one panel mentioning Lucasfilm: the Disney & Marvel Games Showcase
- 2:00pm – 3:00pm: Daniel Logan (Young Boba Fett) is doing a signing at Talent Center booth in Hall C
Saturday, September 10
- 10:00am: Disney’s Studio Showcase panel may have Star Wars announcements like perhaps “The Book of Boba Fett” Season 2… we’ll see… Note: this panel will not be livestreamed.
Update: no Boba Season 2 announcement, but updates on Andor, Willow, Bad Batch Season 2, Tales of the Jedi, Ahsoka, Skeleton Crew, and The Mandalorian Season 3 — including the trailer previously shown at Celebration and only now officially online.
Sunday, September 11

Costume and Decor
One of the Boba Fett costumes from “The Book of Boba Fett” is on display. It was previously shown at Lucasfilm’s Pavilion at SDCC 2022. He’s on the far left next to Fennec Shand.

Outside the Anaheim Convention Center, see the massive Boba Fett helmet right in front of the basketball arena. The massive inflatable was previously used for the Disney+ Balloon Tour last November
