Pew Pew. Pew Pew Pew. Movies, TV shows, video games, and books. All of those things will be coming for Star Wars in the near future. Get ready to jump to lightspeed.
Yep, it’s happening. Star Wars will be in the theaters again with a few new movies coming from 2025 to 2030. The movie that has been promoted the Most has been the Rey Movie titled, New Jedi Order. This movie is believed to be the second of the new movies released. This movie takes place 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker. If John Boyega returns to play Finn it is possible that Rey trained him and he is now a jedi. This is what many of the fans want. Oscar Issac could also be coming back to play Poe Dameron. It is possible that this movie could be the start of a fourth trilogy. When asked about this Daisy Ridley said, “I know the storyline for one film. That's not to say that that's all it is, but that's what I was told about. And I imagine it will be the next film, I think. I mean, again, I don't know, post strikes and everything, how quickly everything will start up again. But yes, so far, I know the story of one film and I think people will be very excited." The way she says “one film” seems like there will be more movies, but she doesn’t know what will be happening with those films. So we could be getting episodes 10, 11, and 12. This movie is expected to be released around christmas time 2025 at the earliest. The movie that will likely be released first is The Mandololian and Grogu. This movie will be made by Jon Favreau. Fevreau Did the first 3 seasons of the Mandalorian and the first season of The Book of Boba Fett. Some say that this movie will replace season 4 of the Mandalorian while others say it won’t. I think it will be a great sendoff for the series, but we will have to wait and see if it will be that way. The movie that will likely be the 3rd movie released is Heir to the Empire. This movie is probably looked forward to the most. It will tie into the Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Skeleton Crew. The 4th movie that has been updated on recently has been a movie about the dawn of the jedi. This 4th movie will be made by James Mangold. It will take place around 25,000 years before the phantom menace. In the old republic era. Some star wars movies have been announced a while back, but have had no announcements in a while. Among these are the Lando Movie, Taika Waititi’s Star Wars movie, and Rogue Squadron. The Lando movie was originally supposed to be a TV show, but was later changed to a movie. This movie will be made by Donald Glover, the actor who played Lando Calrissian in Solo. The Lando show was among the first Star Wars projects announced before it was turned into a movie. One of the other projects announced a while back was Taika Waititi’s Star Wars movie. There is little information on this movie. One of the last movies announced was Rogue Squadron. This was thought to be released in 2023, but was reportedly taken out of development. This movie was set to feature a group of fighter pilots in the post Rise of Skywalker era. The last possible movie that we could get is Rian Johnson’s trilogy. Rian origanally wanted to pitch this project, but Kathleen Kenady decided to let him do The Last Jedi instead. Many fans do not want him to return after what he did to Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi. Some Star Wars projects have been canceled, such as Kevin Feige’s Star Wars movie. None of these movies will be coming in 2024. 2025 to 2028 will likely be when these movies are released.
On the show side of things there will be 4 shows coming in 2024. There will be a second season of Tales of The Jedi. Tales of the Jedi is a TV series that documents big moments in a Jedi's life. Season 1 focused on Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku. It is unknown what Jedi will be focused on in Tales of the Jedi season 2. There are hopes that they will make more shows similar to this one about Sith, Bounty Hunters, or Clone Troopers. The other animated tv show that will be released is The Bad Batch season 3. Season 3 will be the final season of The Bad Batch. This will come out on 2/21/24, a trailer for season 3 is already out on disney plus. The bad batch is a group of clone troopers with special abilities such as, smarts, strength, sharpshooting, and super senses. This unique group of clones debuted in The Clone Wars season 7.
Unofficial trailers for Skeleton Crew and The Acolyte
There are 2 live action shows coming in 2024 that have not had any seasons before.Skeleton Crew was a newly announced show that is thought to replace Rangers of The new Republic. Rangers of the New Republic was likely canceled due to Gina Carano, who was supposed to play the lead role, being fired for making controversial social media posts. Skeleton Crew takes place around the time period of The Mandalorian. It follows 4 kids on a journey to get back to their home planet. Thai was originally supposed to be released in 2023, but was delayed. The other live action show that is coming in 2024 is The Acolyte. The Acolyte is a mystery-thriller that will take place during the High Republic era, and will dive into dark side powers. Another show that was expected to come out in 2024 was Andor season 2, but was hit hard by Hollywood strikes, so it has been pushed back to 2025. It is possible that The Mandalorian will get a 4th season or it could be concluded with the Mandalorian and Grogu movie. A 2nd season of the ashoka series has been confirmed but does not have a release date. There are also rumors of a season 2 of The Book of Boba Fett. While we are on the topic of rumors, there are rumors that Star Wars will follow in Marvel’s footsteps and make a What If… series. If they do they could document what would have happened if something went differently in the Skywalker Saga.
There will be a few video games coming out in 2024 too. Star Wars Outlaws is coming our way in 2024. This is an open world game set in between the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. You will play as outlaw scoundrel Kay Vess. She is accompanied by her pet Nix and a droid. The game will include stealth and several forms of open combat. There is a wanted system in which the empire will pursue the player. This game will be playable on Playstation, Xbox, and PC. A release date for this game has not been announced. A remaster of Dark Forces will also be coming in on 2/28/24. This game will be playable on PC, Playstation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. The original 1st Person shooter originally came out in 1995. In this game you play as Kyle Katar, a defector of the Empire turned mercenary of hire. He joins the rebel alliance and infiltrates the empire where he uncovers the dark trooper project. In this remake there is mention of upgraded gameplay and enhanced lighting and rendering. The dark forces remaster will not look like it came out in 2024, but a lot sooner than 1995. The last game coming out this year is Star Wars Hunters. This game is playable right now, but in a very select few countries. These few countries did not include the USA. This game will be playable on mobile devices. Hunters is a squad based arena shooter, set after the fall of the empire. You can play in thrilling team based multiplayer battles. There are several playable characters, none of which have been in any other Star Wars project. It has been confirmed that Cal Kestis, the main character of Star Wars Jedi Fallen order, and it's sequel, Jedi Survivor, will be returning for a third and final game. There have been a few video games that have been made by Star Wars in the past that have never seen the light of day. Among these include Star Wars Battlefront 3 and The Force Unleashed 3.
The book cover of "The Living Force"
There will also be several Comics and Novels coming out in 2024. Another phase of The High Republic Novels will be coming in 2024. Dark Horse comics is coming out with a new Hyperspace Stories graphic novel line. The 1st will focus on Qui-gon Jinn. It comes out in July and is written by George Mann. We have been promised future iterations featuring other characters, such as General Grievous and Mace Windu. Speaking of Mace Windu, he will have his own coming run on february 7th. It is written by Mark Bernardin. It will take place in between The Phantom Menace, and Attack of the Clones. Mace Windu will also have a Novel. The Glass Abyss is coming on August 6th. It is about Mace attempting to complete one of Qui-Gon’s Final Missions. It is written by Steven Barnes. The Living Force is another new novel taking place a little bit before The Phantom Menace. It will follow the entire Jedi council plus Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. We will lively get to see the perspectives of less focused on Jedi from this time period. This Novel is written by John Jackson MIller and will be released on April 9th. The likely reason behind almost all of these books taking place around the time of The Phantom Menace, is because 2024 will mark the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Menace. When Mr Norris was asked about how he hoped it would be celebrated, he said, “Hopefully by getting rid of jar jar binks.” I assume he ment this as a joke, but I am not sure.
Now, a surprise addition, theme parks. The Star Tours ride At Disneyland in California will be getting an update. This update will feature new stories and characters. One of the biggest rumors out there, is that Walt Disney World will be creating a 5th theme park and it will be entirely Star Wars based. The main result of Force Wold coming soon to disney is not a reliable source, but some other more reliable sources are also saying the same thing, leaving if this is true or not, unknown. One of the things that we need to take into account is Star Wars Galaxy’s edge. Disney might need to move Galaxy’s Edge to the new park, or make the new park in Galaxy's Edge. They could include new food items too. Some fan favorite food items include the Blue milk. Mr Norris says, “If you don’t get the blue milk you're doing something wrong.” While many fans would love Force World to come to Disney World, but it is probably not happening.
There are a few Star Wars Youtubers that can help you expand your knowledge. Among these are, Star Wars Theory, Star Wars Explained, Star Wars Meg, Red Five, Leia's Lair, and Mr Norris' personal favorite, kid snippets. He says, "Watch Kid Snippets Star Wars, It's hilarious." Of course there is the official Star Wars Youtube channel which is more reliable, as everything there put out there is official
In conclusion, Star Wars has a bridge to being the greatest movie franchise of all time, they just have to build it. All Star Wars shows will be on Disney+, and the movies will likely come to Disney+ after they premiere in theaters. You can watch the previous show and movie on Disney+ today! Now may the force be with you, always.
