As you might be surprised to hear , there ’s a bit of Star Wars drama going on powerful now ( this franchise ? Drama?Well I never ! ) , withrumors swirlingthat a whole gang of Star Wars spinoffs are allegedly on postponement as Lucasfilm refocus its next plans for the galaxy far , far off . So what do we really know is on the way ?
The populace of Star Wars film making is constantly in state of flux . An of import thing to think back is , a good glob of the following tilt was never really officially announce , but we ’ll get to that later — so while we ’ve had lots of hints about what ’s to come for the franchise , they ’re mostly just that for now : tip . There ’s a few thing that are definitely fall out , some that might , andmaybe even a whole lot morewe just have no thought about at this point in time . For now , here ’s your guide to the puzzling tangle of what we kinda - sorta have intercourse is get from Lucasfilm over the next few years .
Movies
Star Wars: Episode IX
Who could have seen this one arrive ? Well , everyone , because it was actually announced years ago during the acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney , alongside its two precursor , The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi . Originally , Jurassic World ’s Colin Trevorrowwas tap to both script and send the concluding sequence of the subsequence trilogy , but bring up creative differences , Lucasfilm announced it wasparting ways with the directorin September 2017 . daytime afterwards , the studio announced it would bereplacing him with return Force Awakens theater director J.J. Abrams . That news program also amount withnews of a delaythat pushed the film from aMay 2019release appointment to December 20 , 2019 .
Plot - wise , we know nothing officially , other than it will presumptively peck upwhere The Last Jedi leave off , with the remainder of the Resistance banding together with what is leave of their allies to push back against the ascendant First Order , now lead by Supreme Leader Kylo Ren . Actor John Boyega has teasedthat there could be some form of time leap for the picture show , unlike The Last Jedi ’s immediate continuation of The Force Awakens , but that — like everything else we ’ve see so far ( like thereturn of intimate faces)—is merely a rumor for now .
Rian Johnson’s Untitled Movie Trilogy
announce recently last class , The Last Jedi director ( andperennial Last Jedi questions - respondent ) Rian Johnson will helma unexampled trilogy of Star Wars filmscompletely unrelated to the main “ Skywalker ” saga . We know absolutely nothing about this trilogy , other than that Johnson is currently only slated to write and channelise the first entry ( while producing the two follow - ups ) , and that it has been key out by Disney CEO Bob Iger as a serial publication that will introduce “ raw characters from a corner of the galaxy that Star Wars lore has never before explore . ”
We ’ve had some thoughts about just what that might imply , but we do cognize at least one thing : This Modern sagawon’t be set during the fan - favorite ancient geological period of Star Wars history be intimate as the Old Republic , the setting of the dear Bioware and Obsidian CRPG serial Knights of the Old Republic .
David Benioff and D.B. Weiss’ Untitled Movie Series
From one movie trilogy we live nothing about , to another we know even less about!Announced in February of this year , the two producers who spearheaded HBO ’s landmark fantasy franchise Game of Thrones will both write and produce another serial publication of Star Wars films . These film will be entirely separate from both the mainline “ Skywalker ” films and Johnson ’s trilogy , so like we said , we bed even less about this fresh saga than we do anything else .
Except , well , we do know one matter : It ’s sound to be a while before we see it . Benioff and Weiss ’ program line for the announcement noted that they would n’t start working on plans for the serial until their study on the final season of Game of Thrones — which is still in production and wo n’t air until 2019 — is complete .
Future Star Wars Story Entries
Now that both Rogue One : A Star Wars Story and Solo : A Star Wars Story have been released , there are currently no similar anthology films that have been officially announce . That , however , has not stopped us from hearing about multiple spinoff films in the last year or two that are allegedly in the works . by from rumors about possible sequels to Solo — mavin Alden Ehrenreichrevealed to Esquirehe was contracted for up to two more Star Wars film shortly before Solo ’s release , and Solo itself exit plenty of way for continuation — there are three on-going major rumors .
Firstly , there ’s a Boba Fett - centric spinoff . This idea has been in the works for a while — Josh Trank washiredand theneventually firedfrom an unrevealed Star Wars Story undertaking that Lucasfilm almost formally announced as a Boba Fett filmat Star Wars Celebration 2015 . Since then , it disappeared into the ether until very recently , when rumors of it resurfaced withLogan director James Mangold now attached . second , there ’s the film we ’ve been pick up about fora little longer : a deed revolve around Ewan McGregor ’s young incarnation of Obi - Wan Kenobi . The cinema , which would be allegedly be set in the 20 - year period between the Star Wars prequels and the principal trilogy , was reported to be directed by Billy Elliot ’s Stephen Daldry , but since then , no particular have really egress other than the Assumption of Mary it ’s still happening .
That brings us in very timely manner to this week , with a savage rumor come forth that a Star Wars Story filmrevolving around the denizens of the Mos Eisley Spaceportfrom A New Hope was in the work ( emphasis on the was ) . The report , from note Star Wars word siteMaking Star Wars , take the film was expected to enter yield in 2020 at Pinewood Studios in the UK , but that 2020 slot has now been relinquished . It also connect to another report that break yesterday fromCollider , alleging that all currently in development Star Wars Story films , Obi - Wan and Boba most notably , have been place on holdwhile Lucasfilm pivots to focus on the aforesaid Johnson / Benioff and Weiss trilogy .
Making Star Wars ’ report aver that this is n’t the pillowcase , and it ’s simply just the Mos Eisley film that ’s been bumped from the schedule . But thenABC News(itself a subsidiary company of Disney , just like Lucasfilm ) also put out a report refuting Collider ’s rumour , with Lucafilm sources state that “ there are still multiple Star Wars films presently in development that have not been officially announced . ”
Once again , this all bears repeat : This is all just rumour entropy . None of these photographic film have been formally announced ( or denied ) . So really , who knows what ’s fit on ?
Television
Star Wars Resistance
denote just over a month ago , the next Star Wars boob tube series from Lucasfilm ’s spiritedness department — after the close of Star Wars Rebels — will be Star Wars Resistance . Helmed by Clone Wars and Rebels executive producer Dave Filoni , Resistance will be determine in the geezerhood just before The Force Awakens , concentre on a young airplane pilot named Kazuda Xiono , who is recruit to link General Leia Organa ’s Resistance to partake in surveillance missions safeguarding against the scourge of the First Order ’s rise .
No footage from the serial , which is depict as “ anime - pep up , ” has been released yet . But aside from novel faces like Kazuda and other pilots in the Resistance ’s starfighter corps , we do know that both Oscar Isaac and Gwendoline Christie will be impart their voices to the show , reprise their resilient - action roles as Poe Dameron and Captain Phasma , respectively . Oh , and BB-8 will be show up too !
Despite the lack of footage just yet , Resistance is coming rather than you ’d imagine : It ’s due to atmosphere on the Disney Channel and Disney XD sometime this fall .
Jon Favreau’s Untitled Live-Action Series
Last year , Disney announced plans to premise its own cyclosis service competitor in 2019 . The still - untitled service would not only lead to Disney’svarious moving-picture show being pulled from other services like Netflix , but also be a home plate to new original programming based around its roster of intellectual properties , likeMarveland , of course , Star Wars .
The first Star Wars series for the service was announced a few months ago : a bouncy - action title from Jungle Book and Iron Man director Jon Favreau , with no real details beyond that . However , at the Solo violent rug , Favreau revealed another intriguing piece of information about the show : It will be set just seven years after the Battle of Endor and the event of Return of the Jedi , in a fertile , comparatively underexplored period of current Star Wars canon that is actually looker to the early peaceful days of the New Republic .
Update : We now know it’sThe Mandalorian .
Future TV Series for Disney’s Untitled Streaming Service
Even before Favreau ’s show was formally announced , however , Disney CEO Bob Iger told company shareholder that there weremultiple Star Wars TV show presently in the works for Disney ’s cyclosis platform , with what would short be expose as Favreau ’s project to be the one closest to announcement . Since then there ’s been no further word about just what these shows could be , so they ’re seemingly a way off , but we do lie with that there are more out there at least .
As you’re able to probably guess by the unmixed bit of times the word “ ungentle ” appear above this paragraph , so much of this is still unknown and uncertain to us . And what we do know about the most concrete of the above films and shows is fairly much that they , well , exist . But one thing is for certain : There are no material signboard of slowing down when it comes to more Star Wars in the future .
