Today we go all the way to the big wonderful world of Disney.

Yes, D23.

I was there in the flesh watching the incredible studio presentation, watching all of the new series and shows and concepts and ideas coming from Lucasfilm, followed by Marvel, and then they ended with an amazing presentation that I am still just reeling from for the sequel to Avatar.
