Lucasfilm confirms which Star Wars movies are still happening

After years of false departures, delays and purgatory “in development”, Lucasfilm has just given fans such necessary clarity on which Star Wars The films are actually still on site.

To the celebration of Star Wars this year in Japan, president of Lucasfilm Kathleen Kennedy confirmed the next era of Star Wars The films are on the move and several projects previously announced are still in active development.

While a large part of the panel was concentrated Jon Favreau’S The Mandalorian and the Goguwhich affects cinemas in May 2026, it ended with a wider look at what is coming to the IPERSPAZIO lane.

Here is the cart: James Mangold (Logan, Indiana Jones and the dial of fate) is still ready to direct his dawn of the Jedi film, which explores the first days of the strength.

According to Kennedy, “Mangold had to pause Dawn of the Jedi while making Bob Dylan’s biographical movie A complete unknown. With that film out of hand, he is busy working on his Star Wars script now. “

Shameen obaid-chinoy Rey/ New Jedi Order’s film is blocked to elaborate, continuing the post-mara of the Skywalker plot. That is under development for a while, but it seems that it is finally consolidating as the fulcrum of this new era.

In the meantime, Dave Filoni He is still building towards his new film of the Republic, which is the culmination of the plots from The Mandalorian, Ahsokaand the greatest almond-verse, but is giving priority Ahsoka First season 2.

Taika WaititiThe film is still alive and strange. While some fans hypothesized that they had been quietly set aside, Kennedy clarified him:

“Waititi … has transformed a first act that Kennedy Loves, but not even that screenplay is not over.” Despite recent flops like The next goal wins and the divisive Thor: love and thunderWaititi still has enough creative capital (and Jojo Rabbit Cred) to keep fans curious.

And there is Simon Kinberg (X-Men: Days of Future Past, The Martian) which is developing a Star Wars trilogy. These films had previously been grouped with projects focused on Rey, but Kennedy clarified that Kinberg and Obaid-Chinoy are not working on the same thing.

This is a great round since the end of 2024, when the study was choosing from “different films” that presented Rey. Kinberg’s story has evolved into something new, or Obaid-Chinoy’s film prepares the ground for its trilogy.

No release dates for these projects have been provided. Lucasfilm has a high -profile ads that has never materialized, like Rian JohnsonTrilogy. But for the first time for years, there is a real formation of the roadmap e The Mandalorian and the Gogu AND Star Wars: Starfighter With Ryan Gosling and directed by Shawn LevyHitting on May 2027, he is giving him the way.

Lucasfilm’s track record with theatrical launch has been post-Skywalker’s ascent, But it seems that the study really committed to returning to the game. Of course, Disney+ has maintained the buzzing franchise with TV content, but Star Wars was built for the big screen. And if even half of these projects puts the landing, we could look at a real theatrical Renaissance for the distant galaxy, very distant.
