Star Wars is in an interesting place in 2023. Multiple movies have been delayed or canceled after the mixed response to Rise of Skywalker in 2019 and Solo: A Star Wars Story the year before. Since then, most new Star Wars projects have been of TV shows on Disney Plus, ranging from the high highs of Andor to the low lows of The Book of Boba Fett, with plenty of Mandalorian, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and others in between.
At 2023’s Star Wars Celebration, Lucasfilm and Disney outlined their plans for the future of the Star Wars universe, including updating fans on upcoming projects and confirming a few release dates. And as of January 2024, there was another significant update with the announcement of a Mandalorian-led movie. This adds to last year’s announced plans for Star Wars movies set for release on May 22, 2026 and another on Dec. 18, 2026. One of those movies is likely the sequel trilogy sequel starring Daisy Ridley in her live-action return as Rey.
Below, you can find the full calendar of upcoming Star Wars releases — what they are, where you’ll be able to watch them, and when they come out. And while you’re in the mood for more Star Wars, you might be tempted to catch up on the whole universe. Here’s the best order to watch it all in.
Coming to Disney Plus on Aug. 23
Dave Filoni is making this show about Ahsoka Tano, as portrayed by Rosario Dawson in The Mandalorian. Hayden Christensen will also be around as Darth Vader, which likely places this story before the events of The Mandalorian. Ahsoka will premiere on Disney Plus on Aug. 23.

Jon Watts, the director of the latest Spider-Man trilogy, helms this show starring Jude Law and a group of kids set around the same time as The Mandalorian. Not much is known about it yet, but Watts has described it as a throwback to ’80s Amblin movies like The Goonies, and Everything Everywhere All at Once directors Daniel Kwan and Scheinert directed an episode.

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 end of the show’s run. Season 2 of Andor is slated to arrive in summer 2024, Lucasfilm said at Star Wars Celebration 2023.

Set in the later days of the High Republic, this show from Russian Doll creator Lesley Headland will be a Star Wars mystery, focusing on a former Padawan who teams up with her Jedi Master. The cast includes Squid Game’s Lee Jung-Jae, Dafne Keen (Logan, His Dark Materials), Manny Jacinto (Nine Perfect Strangers), Dean-Charles Chapman (Game of Thrones), Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix), and Chewbacca actor Joonas Suotamo as a Wookiee Jedi.

The Mandalorian and his furry green friend are headed to the big screen, in a movie directed by Jon Favreau and produced by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, and Dave Filoni. No word on what this means for the future of the show, which does not technically have a season 4 announcement, but production on the film is slated to start in 2024.
Untitled Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy Star Wars Movie
This was previously “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 (Ms. Marvel) is directing. The new Star Wars movie will be set in a new era called the New Jedi Order and will be set 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
The force behind much of Star Wars’ televised content, Dave Filoni, will direct a new movie that plans to focus on the New Republic, the government body that comes into power in the wake of the Empire’s implosion. Lucasfilm says Filoni’s movie will “close out the interconnected stories told in The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and other Disney Plus series.” Given how much the third season of The Mandalorian has focused on cloning technology and post-Imperial power struggles, Filoni may be looking to fill in lore gaps about the return of Emperor Palpatine and the rise of Snoke in the Star Wars sequel trilogy era.
Untitled James Mangold Star Wars Movie
Director James Mangold (Logan, Ford v Ferrari, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny) will helm a Star Wars movie set in the distant past — some 25,000 years before the original trilogy Star Wars era — that goes back to the dawn of the Jedi (literally). Mangold’s take on the earliest stages of Star Wars will be “a Biblical epic, like [The] Ten Commandments, about 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 besides Waititi’s involvement (and co-writer Krysty Wilson-Cairns). It was not included in the January 2024 announcement of Disney’s upcoming Star Wars slate.

Disney first announced this spinoff show about Lando Calrissian in December 2020, and hasn’t said a word about it since. On the one hand, that means it’s not officially canceled — Disney’s been pretty open about cancelling Star Wars projects recently. On the other hand, there’s been no official confirmation that the show is still happening, or that Donald Glover will return to reprise his role from Solo — but at least we know he’s interested in it.
Shawn Levy’s Star Wars movie
Frequent Ryan Reynolds collaborator Shawn Levy (Free Guy, Deadpool 3) is making a Star Wars movie. Not much is known about it, other than he hopes it will have a “big heart.” But there are questions of whether it’ll happen; Levy was not included in the January 2024 announcement of Disney’s upcoming Star Wars slate.
