The head of Disney’s Golden Goose, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Kevin Feige is also set to try to bring his success to Star Wars sometime in the future, but we have no idea when or if it will even happen. Kathleen Kennedy’s last update on the subject came in a Vanity Fair story from May, when she said, “I would love to see what movie he might come up with. [...] But right now, no, there isn’t anything specifically.” Damon Lindelof’s Star Wars movie At this year’s Star Wars Celebration, Lucasfilm and Disney outlined their plans for the future of the Star Wars universe, including updating fans on upcoming projects and confirming a few release dates. The force behind much of Star Wars’ televised content, Dave Filoni, will direct a new movie that plans to focus on the New Republic, the government body that comes into power in the wake of the Empire’s implosion. Lucasfilm says Filoni’s movie will “close out the interconnected stories told in The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and other Disney Plus series.” Given how much the third season of The Mandalorian has focused on cloning technology and post-Imperial power struggles, Filoni may be looking to fill in lore gaps about the return of Emperor Palpatine and the rise of Snoke in the Star Wars sequel trilogy era.

Definitely a question worth exploring. In June, amid an ongoing Hollywood writers’ strike, Disney announced release dates for two theatrical Star Wars projects. An untitled project previously planned for release on Dec. 19, 2025 has been moved to May 22, 2026. Another Star Wars project, also untitled, is pegged for theaters on Dec. 18, 2026. One of those movies is likely the sequel trilogy sequel starring Daisy Ridley in her live-action return as Rey.

Tell us which new Star Wars projects you’re most excited about in the comments. 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.

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.
