After years of waiting, fans finally discovered what was next for Han Solo, Leia Skywalker, and Luke Skywalker. Of course, that included a few new characters, like Rey, Finn, Poe, and Kylo Ren, who starred in movies like The Rise of Skywalker and The Force Awakens.
However, fans haven’t seen the last of Lucasfilm-related movies and television shows. Thanks to a few updates from Disney, viewers learned that there are a few Star Wars projects currently in the works.

Even though the Skywalker Saga has come to an end, there’s still plenty more space to explore in the Star Wars universe. Could there be other Jedis? What happens in between each movie in the original trilogy.
According to CBR, “Lucasfilm currently has three release dates staked out for Star Wars films: December 16, 2022, December 20, 2024, and December 18, 2026, respectively.” The article states that the Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok, Jojo Rabbit) Star Wars film is the release scheduled for a 2024 premiere.
