The dust has barely settled after this year's San Diego Comic Con and we're already looking ahead to the next convention. The D23 Expo, Disney's own convention, is coming up August 14-16 in Anaheim, California and Star Wars will have a major presence there. It had already been announced that The Force Awakens will have a presence there (though what we'll see is somewhat up in the air), but now we know that Star Wars gaming will also be a feature of the convention. Disney will be hosting a gaming presentation in Hall D23 (the former Celebration Stage) and both Star Wars: Battlefront and Disney Infinity 3.0 will be among the headliners at the presentation.
According to the official press release,

Among the games participating in the presentation are: Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition, Star Wars™ Battlefront™ from Electronic Arts and KINGDOM HEARTS III from Square Enix.
