But while the franchise’s presence at the multiplex has been quiet during the gap between 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker and Mando and Grogu’s big-screen debut, it’s not for lack of effort on Lucasfilm’s part. There have been more canceled or in-development Star Wars projects in that seven-year period than there have been actual releases. Part of that is due to a changing of the guard; Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy recently left the studio after 14 years, passing over leadership duties on the creative side to Dave Filoni while Lynwen Brennan tackles the business element of things. That shift means a lot of these projects are on the back burner as leadership determines the best step forward.

Star Wars: Starfighter (May 28, 2027)

This Shawn Levy-helmed film features an impressive cast (Ryan Gosling, Flynn Gray, Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, and Amy Adams). As GQ's Frazier Tharpe has pointed out, Levy doesn’t inspire the most confidence amongst cinephiles; the director of Free Guy doesn’t bring to the table a particularly unique or identifiable vision, compared to Rian Johnson or even J.J. Abrams. But he is a steady, workmanlike hand whose movies turn a profit. That steadiness is probably a breath of fresh air, given all the turmoil across the franchise in recent years.

In Development

Star Wars projects that are seemingly/possibly still happening, with no concrete word on when

Simon Kinberg’s New Trilogy

As announced back in 2024, writer/producer Simon Kinberg (whose credits include the screenplays for five X-Men films) is supposed to be developing a trio of films that are reportedly intended to function as Episodes 10 -12 of the ongoing Skywalker saga. Kennedy mentioned to Deadline in her exit interview earlier this year that Kinberg put together a treatment for the story that was roughly “70 pages” and was due in around March. Ultimately, the fate of that movie (and all of these projects) will be up to the franchise’s new masters, but per Kennedy, the incoming regime is very much on board and Kinberg’s project was “really what’s up next.”

James Mangold’s Dawn of the Jedi

Filoni’s “MandoVerse” Crossover

Standalone Rey Film

Taika Waititi’s Star Wars Film

Donald Glover’s Lando Film

Bringing on a guy who directed one of the worst X-Men movies in the last twenty years to direct a Star Wars movie is peak Disney.

It’s over for Star Wars. Nothing will bring it back and the aura that it once had as a franchise is now buried.

Don’t forget that Kinberg also produced that masterpiece called Fantastic 4

I don't think I've ever seen a studio announce so many projects that have never come to fruition. Kathleen Kennedy is without question an abysmal failure.

Hollywood hates Star Wars

It's really simple, I'm old enough to have seen it in the theaters first run in 77.
People talk about the special effects (models etc), but they tend to ignore the fact that it is a straightforward swashbuckling adventure, with clear Good and Bad. No shades of gray.
Most of the movies from the early 70's were edgy, dystopian, cynical, the works. People were getting sick of that and wanted something more defined, like the old Errol Flynn and Tyrone Power movies.

Like I said, Hollywood hates that. They want to subvert expectations, they want to be clever. It seems almost intentional that they sought to destroy Star Wars, almost like a hit.

Sounds like more female-centric DEI slop. People will say "SEE! STAR WARS IS OLD NEWS!"

They'll never consider that maybe star wars would be okay without radical progressive themes, DEI casting, and obsessive feminist symbolism and propaganda.


Theres zero chance of seeing another normal star wars ever again. The DEI and progressive cult killed it.

If they try to focus on a Rey trilogy nobody is going to care

The only interesting thing they can do with her is make her a sith and they aren’t going to do that

Are these movies coming before or after Rian Johnson’s trilogy?

Seeing how Star Wars Land is pulling away from the sequel trilogy, I think this Rey trilogy will soon be dead in the water.

The Gosling movie will put asses in seats because its Ryan Gosling.

Disney's biggest mistake was getting rid of the Expanded Universe because they thought they could so much better than the years of canon fleshed out in the novels.

Thrawn Trilogy
New Jedi Order
The New Republic
Old Republic

All these series had beloved, well told storylines they could have drawn from.

it's amazing how these major companies get these established IPs and just run them into the ground all in the name of "the message"

I started to object it was just Disney but with stuff like the Rings of Power from Amazon that argument doesn't work.

my concern is the rumor that Starfighter is about a mission to take a force sensitive kid to Rey's temple

I think they need to go all the way back and get away from the Skywalker timeline. You could do the Dawn of the Jedi (is that what Mangold was developing?).

explore the origins of the Sith and the great hyperspace war and Darth Vitiate, The Jedi Civil war and Darth Revan, and the great galactic war.

I also want to see them build the lore out that was teased in ROTS. The aftermath of all the competing sith factions could lead into a Darth Bane trilogy and establishing the rule of two.
