And the D-23 Expo Exclusive Star Wars Figure Is…
…R4-D23

In other words, no, you do not have to start panicking that a canonical character from the upcoming new movie will be the rare Disney convention exclusive. Just a Disneyland Droid Factory repaint dressed as the Sorcerer’s Apprentice. I presume he uses the Force to get a bunch of lightsabers to come to life and start carrying buckets of blue milk, only to have the stunt go horribly wrong and Nicolas Cage star in the remake. (Dammit, now I want a toy of Nic Cage as Threepio.)
Also, they won’t be showing any new Star Wars footage, so don’t feel too left out if you’re not going.
Unless you wanted to buy a bunch of Disney pins, that is. Here are the rest of their exclusives.
