Lucasfilm’s and Disney Announce 3 New Star Wars Films

Lucasfilm has announced the production of three new Star Wars films breaking the sabbatical since the 2019 release of Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker. Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, announced at a Star Wars Celebration event at London’s ExCeL building.

The two new films will be overseen by Logan filmmaker James Mangold and The Mandalorian TV series co-creator Dave Filoni, as well as the 2008 computer animation feature Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Kennedy stated that Mangold’s film will “tell the tale of the first Jedi to wield the Force and harness it as a liberating power in an era of chaos and oppression,” whereas Filoni’s film will “close out the interconnected stories told in The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and other Disney+ series.”

The new teaser for “Star Wars: Ahsoka” has revealed the live-action counterparts of the characters from the animated series “Star Wars Rebels.” The show is set in the same period as “The Mandalorian,” It centers on Anakin Skywalker’s former apprentice, Ahsoka Tano. (Rosario Dawson).

She refused to train Grogu (aka Baby Yoda) after she met Din Djarin in “The Mandalorian‘s” second season, and she’s currently on a mission to find infamous Imperial commander Grand Admiral Thrawn.

The third film to be announced has been known for some time but appears to have been plagued by direction changes and personnel departures. Obaid-Chinoy’s film will take place 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker and recast Daisy Ridley as Rey; it will “tell the story of rebuilding the New Jedi Order and the powers that rise to tear it down.”

According to Lucasfilm, Peaky Blinders’ Steven Knight has replaced Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson as writers on the project.

Separate projects supervised by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins have reportedly been shelved, while another from Thor: Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi and 1917 co-writer Krysty Wilson-Cairns is still in development.

At the same event, Lucasfilm announced several new television shows in the Star Wars timeline, including a second season of Andor and Mandalorian spin-off Ahsoka.
