For the last handful of years, “Star Wars” has largely been relegated to the small screen on Disney+, anchored by “The Mandalorian.” Other shows such as “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” “Andor,” and “The Book of Boba Fett” have also aired during this time. The last movie to grace the silver screen was 2019’s “The Rise of Skywalker,” which ended the sequel trilogy. Since then, Disney and Lucasfilm have seemed unsure of where to take the series, despite having quite a few projects enter development, such as Patty Jenkins’ now-backburnered “Rogue Squadron.”
As it stands, Disney has three release dates set aside for “Star Wars” films, with two due to arrive in 2026 and one slated for December 2027. There are several other movies currently in development, including one from Filoni that will also be set in the Mando-verse. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is, additionally, set to direct a film that will see Daisy Ridley return as Rey to build a new Jedi Order, while James Mangold is tasked with directing a film that will focus on the earliest days of the Jedi. It’s unclear which order the films will be released in, but Favreau’s now appears to be the top priority.
“The Mandalorian & Grogu” does not have an official release date but stay tuned.
