Three New Star Wars Movies Are Officially In The Works

Los Angeles, April 8 - Star Wars movies are back, finally!

Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has confirmed that three new Star Wars movies are officially in the works, according to The Hollywood Reporter. These films get officially announced at Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023, held in London on April 7.



The three new films will be directed by James Mangold, Dave Filoni, and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. As per THR, Mangold's movie will go back to the dawn of the Jedi and would look at the origins of the Force and be set 25,000 years before any of the timelines and stories told by the movies and shows so far.

Dave Filoni's Star Wars film will focus on the New Republic, and close out the interconnected stories told in The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and other Disney+ series while a film Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy will be set after the events of Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker, and feature Daisy Ridley as Rey as she builds a new Jedi Order.

Ridley's character, Rey, finished the 2019 movie ("Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker") by taking on the last name of Skywalker, a nod to carrying on the legacy of Luke and Leia Skywalker as she became a fully realized Jedi. The actress said that she was thrilled to be continuing this journey.

There is no release date timeline set yet for these three films.
