The first Star Wars movie in seven years, The Mandalorian and Grogu,<\/a> finally arrived in 2026, for better or worse, but there are still a bunch of other big Star Wars projects in the works, like Ahsoka: Season 2<\/a>, a new Star Wars movie starring Ryan Gosling called Starfighter<\/a> which is being directed by Deadpool & Wolverine’s Shawn Levy, and more. And yet amid all that, Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, has stepped down<\/a> from her duties, with long-time Star Wars creator Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan replacing her. Filoni now serves as President and Chief Creative Officer while Brennan is Co-President.<\/p>\n

While Kennedy’s departure had been rumored for some time, now that it actully happened it’s clear that the Star Wars franchise is at a critical juncture. Will Filoni and Brennan be able to revive excitement in fans and mainstream audiences about what has been seen as something of a lagging series in recent years?<\/p>\n

So let’s take a look at all of the upcoming Star Wars movies and TV shows that we know about. While some are locked, others on our list are just industry reports that haven’t been confirmed by Disney yet. We’ve also kept some older projects on our list that have long since been snuffed out, like the Jedi themselves! Their fire has gone out of the universe…<\/p>\n

Click right through the scruffy-looking slideshow below to see what’s coming, and a couple of “maybes” too…<\/p>\n

Here are the Star Wars projects that are closest to becoming a reality (or at least were in recent times)…<\/p>\n

Starfighter Movie (May 28, 2027)\"null\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The next Star Wars movie hitting theaters after The Mandalorian and Grogu is Star Wars: Starfighter<\/a>, directed by Deadpool & Wolverine’s Shawn Levy and starring the Driver himself, Ryan Gosling. The film is set roughly five years after the events of The Rise of Skywalker, putting it further down the Star Wars timeline than any movie or show to date. <\/p>\n

Levy has been developing the project with scripter Jonathan Tropper since 2022. Tropper previously worked with the director on This Is Where I Leave You and The Adam Project. According to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, the movie will be unrelated to the Skywalker Saga and will be a standalone story.<\/p>\n

Ahsoka Season 2 (January 20, 2027)<\/p>\n

When Ahsoka: Season 1 ended on a cliffhanger, it was unclear whether those loose ends would be picked up in a second season or feed directly into Dave Filoni’s Mando-verse movie. But production has now wrapped on Ahsoka: Season 2<\/a> and the series is set to return at the beginning of January. <\/p>\n

Maul: Shadow Lord Season 2 (2027)<\/p>\n

The Star Wars franchise remained in the post-Clone Wars, pre-A New Hope era for this animated series, which focuses on the former Darth Maul<\/a> as he seeks to rebuild his criminal empire in the age of the Empire. Sam Witwer reprises his role as Maul. We gave Season 1 an 8 out of 10, and a second season<\/a> is already in the works.<\/p>\n

Dave Filoni’s Mando-Verse\/New Republic Movie (In Development)<\/p>\n

Dave Filoni will make the jump from Star Wars shows to the big screen. Filoni is directing a movie set after the events of Return of the Jedi. The film is said to tie together shows like The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett and Ahsoka.<\/p>\n

Jon Watts and Simon Kinberg’s Star Wars Trilogy (In Development)\"Simon<\/a><\/p>\n

In 2024 news broke that X-Men producer (and Star Wars Rebels co-creator) Simon Kinberg had been tapped to oversee a brand-new trilogy of Star Wars films<\/a>. Kinberg will write the trilogy<\/a> and produce. Sources gave conflicting reports as to what the trilogy will actually be about, though. It may be a direct continuation of the Skywalker Saga, effectively making Kinberg the architect of Episodes X through XII. However, others claimed the trilogy will focus on a new storyline. In January, 2026, Kathleen Kennedy revealed that Kinberg wrote something that was “very good, but not there. We\u2019ve pretty much upended the story, and then spent a great deal of time on the treatment.” From there she said Kinberg was expected to turn in “something” — presumably a screenplay — by March, 2026. All of which is to say it’s still early days on this one.<\/p>\n

Though it does seem as though Lucasfilm is prioritizing this trilogy. In September 2026, THR reported that Lucasfilm has tapped Spider-Man: No Way Home’s Jon Watts to direct<\/a> the first film in the trilogy. Furthermore, that film is now said to be Episode X in the Skywalker Saga.<\/p>\n

Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s New Jedi Order Movie (In Development)\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ms. Marvel’s Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is directing the first Star Wars film set after the events of The Rise of Skywalker. Daisy Ridley will return to reprise the role of Rey Skywalker, with the film focusing on Rey’s efforts to rebuild the Jedi after the final battle with Emperor Palpatine. It’s expected that other actors from the Sequel Trilogy will also return.<\/p>\n

At various points in its development, Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson, and then Steven Knight, were attached to write the film. However, all have since left the project. Reports previously indicated that Rey as a character was still a major priority at Disney, and in January, 2025, George Nolfi (The Bourne Ultimatum) was the latest writer hired to script the film. But when Kathleen Kennedy announced her resignation<\/a> from Lucasfilm in January, 2026, she did not mention the Rey project while discussing other films in development. Huh.<\/p>\n

James Mangold’s Dawn of the Jedi Movie (On Hold or Status Unknown)\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At Star Wars Celebration 2023, we learned that Logan director James Mangold was going to be directing a movie about the very first Jedi Knights. Little was known about the movie, other than that it would be set roughly 25,000 years before the other films and would be “biblical” in scope. Unfortunately, in January, 2026, Kathleen Kennedy said that the film is now on the “back burner.”<\/p>\n

Star Wars: Lando Movie (On Hold or Status Unknown)\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While Lucasfilm seems to have no plans for a sequel to 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story, Donald Glover’s Lando Calrissian was supposed to get his own live-action series<\/a> at one point. The project was announced in December 2020, and was being developed by Dear White People’s Justin Simien. However, Simien eventually departed the project, with Glover and his brother Stephen Glover taking over as writers. And in the fall of 2023 Stephen revealed that Lando was expected to take shape as a movie rather than a show. As of January, 2026, Kathleen Kennedy said that the project was “still somewhat alive.” Great!<\/p>\n

The Mandalorian: Season 4 \/ The Book of Boba Fett: Season 2 (On Hold or Status Unknown)<\/p>\n

There’s currently no word on a fourth season of The Mandalorian or a second season of The Book of Boba Fett. The box office performance of The Mandalorian and Grogu may mean the former series has ended its small-screen run, and we’re not holding our breath for more The Book of Boba Fett at this point.<\/p>\n

Carlton & Nick Cuse’s Star Wars Series (On Hold or Status Unknown)\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lost co-showrunner Carlton Cuse was developing a streaming Star Wars series<\/a> with his son, Watchmen and The Leftovers writer Nick Cuse, at one point. That’s virtually all we know about this mysterious project, as there’s no word on the plot, timeline, characters, or other story details yet. And with Disney seemingly pulling back on greenlighting new Star Wars streaming shows now, it seems unlikely that this one will move forward any time soon.<\/p>\n

The Hunt for Ben Solo Movie (Canceled\/Dead)\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Fans got very excited when word came that Adam Driver and filmmaker Steven Soderbergh had pitched a Hunt for Ben Solo movie<\/a>, even though the project was not given the go-ahead. A fan campaign since then has not led Disney or Lucasfilm to reverse their decision, but Kathleen Kennedy has said that \u201cSteve Soderbergh and Adam Driver turned in a script written by Scott Burns … It was just great. Anything\u2019s a possibility if somebody\u2019s willing to take a risk.\u201d Alas, it seems Soderbergh and Driver have moved on.<\/p>\n

Taika Waititi’s Star Wars Movie (Canceled\/Dead)<\/p>\n

Thor: Ragnarok’s Taika Waititi was tapped to direct a live-action Star Wars movie at one point, but the filmmaker has since said that the project is “on ice.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Originally reported to be a script he was co-writing with 1917’s Krysty Wilson-Cairns, and then with Poor Things’ Tony McNamara, Waititi told Inverse<\/a> in October, 2026, “I hate to break this to you, but we’re going to actually put it on ice and we’re working on a different thing together.”<\/p>\n

Little is known about the would-be film, including when it would have been set in the Star Wars timeline. Kathleen Kennedy said in January, 2026, that she thought the project was “still somewhat alive.” Hope springs eternal! Until it doesn’t.<\/p>\n

The film dates back to at least 2021, when Waititi revealed he’d cracked the story for his movie<\/a>, but the actual script was still in its early stages. In May, 2022, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said that this would be the next Star Wars film released, while in March, 2023, Variety reported that it could be the project that snaps up the then-empty December, 2025, release date on Lucasfilm’s slate. In February, 2025, however, Kennedy confirmed that she still hadn’t seen a finished script from Waititi<\/a>, saying \u201cif we ever do get a script from Taika, it\u2019s going to be fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron (Canceled\/Dead)<\/p>\n

Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins was given the reins of a Star Wars theatrical film, which was originally slated to hit theaters in Christmas of 2023. Kathleen Kennedy teased, “This story will introduce a new generation of starfighter pilots as they earn their wings and risk their lives in a boundary-pushing, high-speed thrill ride. The legend of Rogue Squadron has been long beloved by Star Wars fans, and will move us into a future era of the galaxy.”<\/p>\n

However, as of November 2021 the film was no longer on the production schedule while Jenkins reportedly focused on Wonder Woman 3 (which has since been cancelled). Industry insider Matthew Belloni<\/a> reported the film was the latest in a long line of Star Wars projects hampered by “creative differences.” And in March of 2023, Variety reported that a source has stated that the film is no longer in active development. In April of that year, Kennedy told IGN<\/a> the following: “Rogue Squadron, that definitely is something that we still talk about. Whether it’s a movie, or whether it ends up being in the series space, that’s definitely something.” Of course, Kennedy is no longer with the company so…<\/p>\n
