That July, word broke indicating Glover and his brother, Stephen Glover, would take direct creative control of Lando as its writers. Simien, as it happens, left the project sometime before the Glovers signed on — all of which occurred before the current writers and actors strikes began. Presumably, the series is in a holding pattern until those industrial actions are resolved. But, curiously, original Lando Calrissian Billy Dee Williams posted on social media later that month that “something truly magnificent is coming soon.” Signing off his post with “May the Force be with you all” left many speculating that he may appear in Lando after all. Pending strike resolutions, of course. Andorseason 2, by Tony Gilroy, will wrap up the story of Diego Luna's Cassian Andor. The first season was popular and critically acclaimed, and season 2 should continue in the same vein, leading directly into the character's appearance in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Andor season 2 is expected to release in August 2024. Buy if:You or the intended recipient have a love of Lego and Star Wars, and love the act of building little sets.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 3, the third and final season of the beloved Clone Wars spin-off, was confirmed at SWCE 2023 and is currently set for release in 2024. Disney first announced this spinoff show about Lando Calrissian in December 2020, and hasn’t said a word about it since. On the one hand, that means it’s not officially canceled — Disney’s been pretty open about cancelling Star Wars projects recently. On the other hand, there’s been no official confirmation that the show is still happening, or that Donald Glover will return to reprise his role from Solo — but at least we know he’s interested in it. Shawn Levy’s Star Wars movieHow It Fits Into the Emerging Star Wars Galaxy: A series primarily concerned with the young Lando would be less beholden to lore and, potentially, revel more in the fun of being a scoundrel. Perhaps he could even run with (or against) Star Wars animation’s favorite ne’er-do-well, Hondo Ohnaka (voiced by Jim Cummings). Gift idea for ages 6 and up – Give this 320-piece LEGO® Star Wars™ Advent Calendar as a Christmas holiday gift to kids In a curious twist, the culminating event will occur as Filoni’s feature film debut (more on that below). Here we’ve gathered everything we know about every Star Wars movie and series coming to streaming and theaters in the next few years, and broken down how they fit into the emerging Star Wars galaxy. Tell us which new Star Wars projects you’re most excited about in the comments.

Despite the series completing production in early 2023 — and the addition of young cast members Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Kyriana Kratter, and Robert Timothy Smith — it is still unclear who Law plays, although a trailer screened at that year’s Star Wars Celebration revealed he can use the Force. Also, the Amblin style always has a sympathetic adult, a role he could fill admirably. Filoni and The Mandalorian’s Jon Favreau serve as executive producers with a roster of directors that includes David Lowery, Jake Schreier, The Daniels ( Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert), Bryce Dallas Howard, and Lee Isaac Chung. The program is intended to stream this year, but an exact date has not been revealed. Star Wars is in a very weird place right now. Disney has already completed its own Skywalker trilogy and closed that book on that story, but there are still tons of Star Wars projects that are somewhere on their way to theaters and streaming. Of course, fans of Star Wars media already knew the fictional galaxy could fuel hundreds of films and shows. They also hope the expansion of Star Wars content means there will be room for Jedi Knight protagonist Kyle Katarn (or occasional antagonist Mara Jade) to re-enter the canon. How It Fits Into the Emerging Star Wars Galaxy: As the program is the most mysterious, the crossover seems to be the most tantalizing element. Will a larger skirmish with the Imperial Remnant prove to be its focus? Also, considering the state of the galaxy in the Sequel Trilogy, did the Rangers’ mission fail? Definitely a question worth exploring.

I grew up in a time of the Original Trilogy,” Filoni added. “I grew up with the Expanded Universe. We’re drawing on a lot of things [from then] and new things that were created in the meantime to tell this epic.” Based on this and a few other teases across Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023, some believe the film will adapt author Timothy Zahn’s 1990s Thrawn Trilogy. The trio of books, starting with 1991’s Heir to the Empire, introduced Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Imperial Remnant, and may other ideas now seen on The Mandalorian. But will the film actually be called Heir to the Empire? That remains to be seen.

Creative fun – Includes characters and builds to play out Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: The Bad Batch stories and to use with other LEGO Star Wars sets The set features 8 LEGO® Star Wars™ characters, including Emperor Palpatine, an Ewok and a Pit Droid in Christmas outfits, a Gonk Droid dressed as a reindeer and Omega with a sledge. A cool holiday gift idea for Star Wars fans aged 6 and over, the calendar also contains 15 mini builds, such as The Justifier, a STAP speeder, The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter, Clone Command Centre and an Ewok village to inspire imaginative play. Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins was given the reins of a Star Wars theatrical film, which was originally slated to hit theaters in Christmas of 2023. Kathleen Kennedy teased, "This story will introduce a new generation of starfighter pilots as they earn their wings and risk their lives in a boundary-pushing, high-speed thrill ride. The legend of Rogue Squadron has been long beloved by Star Wars fans, and will move us into a future era of the galaxy." How It Fits Into the Emerging Star Wars Galaxy: Mount Tantiss and the Imperial research into cloning suggests the series will partially answer how the Emperor somehow survived to once again threaten the galaxy in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Beyond that, its focus on the clones following the Clone War offers a clearer perspective on why they were replaced with Stormtroopers and where they all went by the time of Luke’s adventures. What We Know: Although the industry knew about Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi’s Star Wars project for some time, Kennedy finally commented on it in December 2020, saying his approach to Star Wars will be “fresh, unexpected,” and “unique.” She also pointed to his talent — which is evident in his films — and his “sense of humor” as two strengths which will set Waititi’s project apart from other Star Wars endeavors. Meanwhile, reports indicate Waititi is in talks to star in the film as well as write and direct. Although, it seems he still needs to write the script before anything can go forward.This Star Wars series will be set in the later days of the High Republic at a time when a new Dark Side power is on the rise. Created by Russian Doll creator Leslye Headland, The Acolyte is described by Lucasfilm as a mystery series following a former Padawan who reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but the pair are met with something more sinister than they imagined. The series will star Squid Game’s Lee Jung-Jae, Dafne Keen ( His Dark Materials), Manny Jacinto ( Nine Perfect Strangers), Dean-Charles Chapman ( Game of Thrones), and Carrie-Anne Moss ( The Matrix), and is currently filming, which means we might see it in 2023 but guaranteed to get it by 2024.

Rodriguez/Getty Images for Disney Although neither she, Ridley, nor Kennedy offered a release date, we were left to assume it will open in the 2025 calendar slot Disney held for a Star Wars feature. In subsequent months, Disney unveiled a long-term release calendar with May 22, 2026, December 18, 2026, and December 17, 2027 held in reserve for Lucasfilm titles. Of course, this was before the industry strikes began, so those dates may already need rescheduling. characters – Includes Emperor Palpatine, an Ewok and a Pit Droid in holiday outfits, a Gonk Droid dressed as a reindeer, Omega with a sled, a 212th Clone Trooper, B-1 Battle Droid and Princess Leia LEGO® Star Wars™ Advent Calendar (75366) – Build festive joy during the Christmas holidays with an Advent calendar featuring Star Wars characters, mini build toy vehicles and accessories How It Fits Into the Emerging Star Wars Galaxy: The High Republic is the current focus of Lucasfilm’s publishing initiatives, so the series will presumably import some of its recently introduced novel and comic book characters to the streaming screen. Also, as the era is a fresh period in Star Wars history, it has the room to create new locales and situations free of the Skywalker Saga or even the galaxy as mapped by The Mandalorian’s Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni. Also, Headland’s comments suggest a fan-favorite theory about Sheev Palpantine’s (Ian McDiarmid) predecessor, Darth Plagueis, could be in play.

Alternative models: There are other Lego Advent Calendars on offer, from Lego Harry Potter through Lego Avengers. Here's our guide to this year's best Lego Advent Calendars. What We Know: The long-in-the-works project from Russian Doll creator Leslye Headland and Lucasfilm story executive Rayne Roberts will focus on a character during the final days of the High Republic — a period roughly a century before the Skywalker Saga — who comes to know “shadowy secrets and emerging Dark Side powers.” The mystery/thriller series will also reportedly feature a martial arts element, so fans of the Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi video game may finally get a chance to be recognized for their loyalty. Additionally, in May 2022, Headland said the program will answer how a Sith could infiltrate the Republic Senate without the Jedi knowing. That July, Lucasfilm finally confirmed Bodies Bodies Bodies’ Amandla Stenberg will star. In November of the same year, a fuller cast — including Lee Jung-jae, Manny Jacinto, Dafne Keen, Jodie Turner-Smith, Rebecca Henderson, Charlie Barnett, Dean-Charles Chapman, and Carrie-Anne Moss — was announced. At one point, it seemed the series might debut in 2023, but will instead stream in 2024 as confirmed by a trailer shown exclusively to attendees of Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023. Not much is known about this project besides Waititi’s involvement (and co-writer Krysty Wilson-Cairns). At the moment, it is said to be the next theatrical Star Wars movie, and would be the first since Rise of Skywalker. Lando Photo: Jonathan Olley /Lucasfilm Ltd. This series will follow Rosario Dawson’s Ahsoka Tano, but it’s not exactly clear where the story might take her. We do know that the series will include Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader, so it’s very likely a prequel to the events of The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett — since Vader is dead by then — but that’s about all we know, and it’s still just a guess. But as of Sept. 2022, Ezra Bridger will be there, played by Eman Esfandi.

It is, in essence, Episode X.
