The future of a galaxy far, far away

by Pete Volk and Michael McWhertor

Star Wars is in an interesting place. Several films have been delayed or canceled following the mixed response to Rise of Skywalker in 2019 and Solo: A Star Wars Story the year before. Since then, most of the new Star Wars projects have been TV shows on Disney Plus, from the highs of Andor to the lows of The Book of Boba Fett, with plenty of Mandalorian, Obi-Wan Kenobi and others in between.

At the 2023 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 some release dates. And as of January 2024, another major update came with the announcement of a Mandalorian-led movie.
