Future of Star Wars

Several “Star Wars” projects are currently in development. James Mangold (“Logan,” “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny”) will be directing a film set before the Old Republic about the origins of the Force. Dave Filoni is set to direct a film that takes place between “The Mandalorian” and “The Force Awakens.” Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy will direct a sequel taking place 15 years after “The Rise of Skywalker,” the last “Star Wars” film released in theaters.

“Star Wars” has also seen success with recent live-action shows on Disney+, starting with “The Mandalorian.” There have been two seasons of the show, followed by the spin-offs “The Book of Boba Fett” and “Ahsoka,” all set between “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi” and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

“Andor” season 1, set before “Star Wars: A New Hope” and focused on “Rogue One” character Cassian Andor, premiered in late 2022. Season 2 began filming in November, but filming paused due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes this summer.
