Star Wars is in an interesting place in 2023. Multiple movies have been postponed or canceled following the… mixed reaction 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, ranging from the high peaks of Andor to the lows of Boba Fett’s bookwith a lot Mandalorian, Obi Wan Kenobiand others in between.
At this year’s Star Wars Celebration, Lucasfilm and Disney clarified their plans for the future of the Star Wars universe, including updating fans on upcoming projects and confirming some release dates.
Below you’ll find the full calendar of upcoming Star Wars releases – what they are, where to watch them and when they’ll be released. And while you’re in the mood for more Star Wars, you might be tempted to catch up on the whole universe. This is the best order to view everything.

Dave Filoni makes this show about Ahsoka Tano, as played by Rosario Dawson in The Mandalorian. Hayden Christensen will also be around as Darth Vader, which probably puts this story before the events of The Mandalorian.

The best Star Wars property of all time? I think so, and I’m not alone. Andor was a game changer for Star Wars, and while details are light on the timing and scope of the second season, we know it will be 12 episodes and the show’s end. Season 2 of Andor is scheduled to arrive in the summer of 2024, Lucasfilm said at Star Wars Celebration 2023.

Disney first announced this spin-off show about Lando Calrissian in December 2020 and hasn’t said anything about it since. On the one hand, that means it hasn’t been officially canceled — Disney has been pretty open about canceling Star Wars projects lately. On the other hand, there is no official confirmation that the show is still going on, or that Donald Glover will return to reprise his role of only – but at least we know he is interested in the.
Untitled Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy Star Wars movie
This used to be “Damon Lindelof’s Star Wars movie”, but news broke in March that he was replaced by screenwriter Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, Locke, Serenity). Obaid-Chinoy (Mrs. Marvel) directs. The new Star Wars movie is set in a new era called the New Jedi Order and takes place more than a decade after the events of Episode IX. The Rise of Skywalker.
Actor Daisy Ridley will reprise her role as Rey (uh, Rey Skywalker) in the movie as she tries to rebuild the Jedi Order.
Untitled Dave Filoni Star Wars movie
Dave Filoni, the power behind much of Star Wars’ television content, will direct a new film that will focus on the New Republic, the government agency that rises to power in the wake of the Empire’s implosion. Lucasfilm says Filoni’s film will “conclude the interconnected stories told in it The Mandalorian, Boba Fett’s book, Ahsoka, and other Disney Plus series.” Considering how much the third season of The Mandalorian having focused on cloning technology and post-imperial power struggles, Filoni may be looking to fill gaps in knowledge about the return of Emperor Palpatine and the rise of Snoke in the era of the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
James Mangold Untitled Star Wars Movie
Director James Mangold (Logan, Ford vs Ferrari, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate) will lead a Star Wars film set in the distant past – some 25,000 years before the original Star Wars trilogy era – dating back to the beginnings of the Jedi (literally). Mangold’s take on the earliest stages of Star Wars will be “a biblical epic, something like that [The] Ten Commandmentsabout the dawning of the Force,” the director said at Star Wars Celebration 2023.
Mangold will explore questions like “Where did the Force come from, when did we discover it, [and] when did we learn how to use it? he said.
Untitled Taika Waititi Star Wars movie
Not much is known about this project other than Waititi’s (and co-writer Krysty Wilson-Cairns’) involvement. At this point, it’s said to be the next theatrical Star Wars movie, and it’s supposed to be the first since Rise of Skywalker.
Shawn Levy’s Star Wars movie
