Lucasfilm‘s Kathleen Kennedy dropped major bombs tonight, though one of them was not a “Boba Fett” series as rumored. Instead, Kennedy dropped two bombshells: Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, the creators of “The Mandalorian,” are developing two new spin-off shows from the series.

As you may recall, but perhaps not entirely care or understand, Lucasfilm kind of broke the internet on Friday with their latest episode of “The Mandalorian.” Titled “The Jedi,” the episode finally introduced the long-rumored Rosario Dawson playing fan-favorite character Ahsoka Tano—Anakin Skywalker’s Padawan learner who was featured on the animated series “Star Wars: Clone Wars” and “Star Wars Rebels,” series that was co-created and lead by Lucasfilm’s animation chief Dave Filoni.
