The Mandalorian has just dropped its first season three trailer at D23, and it looks epic.
Disney's annual expo, which showcases everything the House of Mouse - and all that it owns - has got coming up, premiered the trailer at the Star Wars panel today (September 10).
So much was packed into the teaser, with so many incredible flight scenes, there is upgraded new armour, and, of course, plenty of Baby Yoda shots to keep everyone happy.
But that's not even the best part. Fans got the biggest surprise when none other than Babu Frik, the fan-favourite character from The Rise of Skywalker, popped up and will be appearing in the new season, which will no doubt delight viewers of the franchise.
The show is lucky to get Babu as he was very nearly killed in The Rise of Skywalker, but was saved at the last minute, thankfully.
Following on from the events of miniseries, The Book of Boba Fett, the character is obviously also appearing in the new season, as well as Greef Karga (Carl Weathers) who is also back.

At the panel, director and writer, Rick Famuyiwa told fans that Star Wars had "shaped me as a person and a filmmaker" and he was passionate about the franchise.
"This has been a dream of mine since I first saw the film, the first film I ever saw in the movie theatre," he said.
The Mandalorian season three is set to air in February 2023, so expect lots more teasers and sneak peeks before then.
The Mandalorian seasons 1 and 2 are streaming now on Disney+. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and the entire Skywalker Saga are available on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K now, as well as on Disney+.
