New Star Wars R&D Demonstration Featured in "Imagineering: Horizons" Pavilion at D23

A new Star Wars food truck display that's apparently part of a research and development project can be found at the Imagineering: Horizons pavilion at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event.

UPDATE (8/13/26 9:30 p.m. PT): Disney has informed us that the Parks Blog erroneously published word of Hugo's Sweets & Fizz coming to the Disneyland Resort and says that no such plans are currently in place. This would also suggest that the announcement teased by Neil Patrick Harris is something else entirely. Our original story is below.

Previously:

• During a special preview of the Disney Experiences pavilion the night before D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, host up of the upcoming Horizons panel on Saturday, Neil Patrick Harris might have let an announcement slip too early.
• On stage with Disney Experiences president Thomas Mazloum and Walt Disney Imagineering president Bruce Vaughn, NPH clarifies that there is something else Star Wars-related to showcase. Vaughn chuckles and clarifies - that might be coming on Saturday.

• However, shortly after - those invited to explore the Disney Experiences pavilion spotted a unique food truck display that shows off some of the Research and Development taking place at Walt Disney Imagineering.
• Inside the pavilion, guests can find the Anzellan Creature Workshop and get a look at the new Hugo's Sweets & Fizz - which according to a Disney Parks Blog preview of the pavilion - is a food truck animatronic show that will be coming to the Disneyland Resort.
• Check it out in action in the pavilion below, complete with appearance by Grogu!

• Could this new food truck show be one and the same, or is there more coming from a Galaxy Far, Far Away during the presentation on Saturday. We'll find out!
