Star Wars is presently one of the longest-running franchises of all time, having debuted in 1977 with Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. While many sequels and prequels to the original trilogy have been substandard, a few stand out, notably Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Recent years have also been quite exciting, with shows like The Mandalorian and Ahsoka keeping the franchise’s charm alive.
While the majority of these installments have taken place during the High Republic and Reign of the Empire eras, we have seen very few representations of the Old Republic. Fortunately, The Acolyte has been unique in this regard, and while it has not been well received by Star Wars fans, it gave us a glimpse of what else we can expect from the franchise. With that in mind, here is a list of every Star Wars movie and TV series that will be released after The Acolyte.

Release Date: August 14, 2024
Young Jedi Adventures, set 200 years before Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, will return for a second season this year, reuniting fan-favorite characters Kai (Jamaal Avery Jr.), Lys (Juliet Donenfeld), and Nubs (Dee Bradley Baker). The series, which premiered on Disney+ on May 4, 2023, is set to be released on the platform on August 14, 2024, with the second half likely to arrive in early 2025.
13 Skeleton Crew (TV Series)
Release Date: 2024
Skeleton Crew, created by Jon Watts, is one of the most anticipated Star Wars series of the year. Starring Jude Law, the series centers around a group of four youngsters who make a remarkable discovery on their home planet, which transports them to a place far, far away in the galaxy. Will they be able to survive in unfamiliar territory and find their way back home?
The term “skeleton crew” refers to the bare minimum personnel required to operate a ship. So, the crew formed by these children is likely to engage in many interstellar conflicts. Skeleton Crew is set to be released in 2024, but no exact premiere date has been specified.
12 Andor Season 2
Release Date: 2025
Andor
- Release Date
- September 21, 2022
Andor is unquestionably the best-written Star Wars series to date, with a mature and more nuanced narrative replacing the generic franchise’s world-building. We’ve seen Cassian Andor’s early days, as he transforms into a Rebel hero following the Empire’s reign, which is subsequently connected to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, where he plays an important role in helping the Rebellion defeat the evil Palpatine in Return of the Jedi. The second season of Andor will dig more into his accomplishments as he becomes a key figure within the Rebellion. Andor season 2 is slated to premiere in 2025.

In the forthcoming film, The Mandalorian & Grogu, both of these brilliant filmmakers collaborate to bring their incredible creativity to the big screen. While little is known about the new film, its synopsis states that the bounty hunter Din Djarin and his son/apprentice, Grogu, will embark on a new adventure across the galaxy.

10 Star Wars: New Jedi Order (Movie)
Release Date: 2026
Star Wars: New Jedi Order is an upcoming Star Wars film directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and starring Daisy Ridley. According to different reveals from the filmmaker, Rey Skywalker will go on a journey to locate the Jedi academy and nurture the young talents so that the future of the galaxy’s future is in safe hands, especially given that the Sith Lords always seem to have an ace up their sleeves. The film is expected to hit theaters in 2026.
9 Untitled Taika Waititi’s Star Wars Movie
Release Date: TBA
With more Star Wars films coming out in the last decade, the franchise has attracted recent Academy Award winner, Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit), who also helmed The Mandalorian‘s Season 1 finale for the upcoming feature film. The filmmaker will co-write and direct the film, with Krysty Wilson-Cairns, who won a BAFTA Award for 1917, handling the screenplay. As of now, very little is known about the film, thus a definitive release date is still a long way off.
8 Dawn of the Jedi (Movie)
Release Date: TBA
The upcoming films seem to cover not just the prime Jedi period but also the origins of the Force itself. James Mangold is currently writing and directing Dawn of the Jedi, which will take place 25,000 years before Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977). The film delves into the origins of the Force and the events that led to its widespread practice throughout the galaxy. James Mangold explains why he believed this concept would make an excellent movie. In his words,
“I thought about a biblical epic, like the Ten Commandments and the dawning of the Force. Where did the Force come from? When did we discover it? When did we know how to use it? And a story just started developing.”
7 Mando-Verse New Republic (Movie)
Release Date: TBA
Fans loved the crossovers between The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, and The Book of Boba Fett, and Dave Filoni thought it would be a great idea to create a new cinematic event around them. The upcoming Mando-Verse New Republic film extends the story of these three, Din Djarin, Boba Fett, and Ahsoka, as they seek peace in the galaxy during the New Republic Era. The film will take place between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. There is currently no release date for the Mando-Verse New Republic.
6 The Mandalorian Season 4
Release Date: TBA
The Mandalorian was one of the first Star Wars productions to premiere on Disney+, and it has quickly become a fan favorite. Despite Mando and Grogu’s happy ending in Season 3, their adventures have not reached a definitive conclusion. As a result, a fourth season is currently in discussion, although no release date has been announced, since the fourth season’s production is scheduled to begin in June 2024.
5 Ahsoka Season 2
Release Date: TBA
The recent Star Wars shows have provided many live-action glimpses of beloved characters from The Clone Wars. However, Ahsoka is perhaps the best one we’ve seen so far, with Dave Filoni pouring his heart and soul into penning the script. The series, set after the fall of the Galactic Empire, pits the former Jedi Ahsoka Tano against the villainous genius, Grand Admiral Thrawn. Ahsoka Season 2 is currently in the works, and with no release date announced, Star Wars fans will have to wait at least a year to see it.
4 Shawn Levy’s Untitled Movie
Release Date: TBA
There are several unnamed Star Wars projects in the works, including Shawn Levy’s upcoming movie, which is one of the most anticipated. Shawn Levy, who is currently working on Deadpool & Wolverine and Stranger Things Season 5, will shortly begin the production of the new film. He also recently told Deadline that developing this Star Wars project will take some time due to the vast quantity of mythology in the galaxy.
3 Lando (Movie)
Release Date: TBA
Lando Calrissian is a significant character in the lore of Star Wars, having assisted the Rebellion at a critical point in changing the fate of the galaxy. His accolades do not stop there, since he is a longtime friend of Han Solo. As a result, Lucasfilm has opted to make a feature-length film, Lando, starring Donald Glover, who previously played the character in Solo: A Star Wars Story. The film’s narrative is currently under wraps, and no release date has been announced because it is still in development.

2 Star Wars: Rogue Squadron (Movie)
Release Date: TBA
Star Wars emphasizes that starfighter pilots are as important as Jedi in keeping the galaxy safe since they venture into the most perilous places and contribute equally despite having no control over the Force. The forthcoming film, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, directed by Patty Jenkins, will follow a new generation of teenage starfighters who risk their lives after earning their spot in the Rebel Alliance in search of a brighter future. The majority of the narrative remains unknown, but Jenkins has been deliberately working hard to ensure that the film is of the finest quality possible.
1 A Droid Story (TV Series)
Release Date: TBA
R2D2 and C3PO have accomplished various heroic feats in Star Wars, from assisting the Rebellion in every way possible to saving soldiers in numerous space battles. Even though it is only an animated production, Lucasfilm has decided to provide fans with a series titled A Droid Story that depicts the adventures of these beloved droids. While not much is known about the series, it will reportedly feature a new character guided by R2D2 and C3PO. A Droid Story will be a welcome addition to the franchise, paving the way for many more projects in the future to showcase the characters that fans have long appreciated.
