Disney and Lucasfilm Confirm that Three ‘Star Wars’ Movies Are Coming Between 2026 and 2027

by

As a hardcore Star Wars enthusiast who’s been through the highs and lows of this iconic franchise for over three decades, I must say that the news about the upcoming trilogy between 2026 and 2027 has me buzzing with anticipation!

Disney’s recently released Star Wars venture, titled The Acolyte, has been a subject of much discussion ever since it premiered. It found itself both targeted by review-bombing and garnering significant fan support simultaneously. Fans were eager to engage in discussions about each episode as they dropped, although many debates centered around trivial matters. However, there were also those discussions that revolved around the series’ relationship with the established canon, making them quite pertinent.

Despite wrapping up after eight episodes, fans of “The Acolyte” are craving more “Star Wars” content, with many ardent followers feeling that the show’s final episode successfully salvaged its reputation. While we eagerly await the release of “Skeleton Crew,” slated for later this year, Lucasfilm has announced that there will be some movies in development too.

Following some recent announcements, it has been verified by Disney and Lucasfilm that they plan to roll out a series of three Star Wars films between 2026 and 2027. In this piece, we will guide you through what these plans could imply for the future direction of the franchise.

Moving ahead, following the conclusion of “The Acolyte,” the Star Wars universe is continuing to develop with fresh projects. Although fans eagerly anticipate a potential second season for the series, neither Disney nor Lucasfilm have announced any plans yet. However, we can expect multiple television productions in the not-too-distant future. Simultaneously, there are rumors about upcoming movies, but only officially confirmed is that three films will be released between 2026 and 2027 by Disney and Lucasfilm.

Although the exact titles haven’t been finalized yet, it’s reasonable to guess that at least two of these three titles are confirmed. One of them is undeniably “The Mandalorian & Grogu,” a movie that serves as a continuation of the widely acclaimed series and has generated much excitement among fans. This film’s script is being penned by Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, with the latter taking on the director role. It’s also worth mentioning that Pascal will reprise his character in this upcoming project. As of now, the movie is undergoing pre-production, with a planned release date on May 22, 2026.

As a dedicated fan, I’m eagerly anticipating the potential sequel to Star Wars’ Episode IX, tentatively called the “New Jedi Order movie.” This film seems to be setting up Rey’s journey as she establishes a new generation of Jedi. It’s fantastic to know that Daisy Ridley will reprise her role as Rey under the guidance of director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, working from a script penned by Steven Knight. At the moment, the project is in its early stages, with no official release date announced yet. However, given the three movies in question, it’s safe to say that this could be one of them!

From where I gather, it seems like the third Star Wars movie could be either “James Mangold’s working title Dawn of the Jedi” or “Dave Filoni’s New Republic” film. Both projects are still in their early phases of production, without a set release date yet, so we’ll just have to keep our fingers crossed and wait for an official announcement.
