There’s a minor disturbance within the power, however there at all times is in terms of Lucasfilm and “Star Wars” Celebration. And what we imply by that’s Lucasfilm at all times makes main “Star Wars” updates at Celebration—which is developing in April of this 12 months within the U.Okay.—and the character of improvement over on the firm, which has been admittedly a little bit rocky over the previous couple of years, means, some tasks go ahead and a few get nixed (and truthfully, this can be a higher method than simply releasing a film with a weak script as a result of it has a launch date like lots of blockbusters).

So, right here is the replace, and if you happen to heard these are rumors, they’re true. You’ll do not forget that Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige as soon as had a “Star Wars” film within the works with “Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness” author Michael Waldron. Feige is a big “Star Wars” fan and had an unique thought, however it’s been shelved, in response to Variety, a rumor that had been whispered round in current weeks.

The commerce says Feige’s movie is not in lively improvement at Lucasfilm, and a part of that may simply be as a result of Feige and Waldron are knee-deep in improvement with Phase 5 and 6 at Marvel. Waldron is writing Marvel’s “Avengers: Secret Wars” film. It’s in all probability simply maintaining them tremendous busy.

Entirely much less stunning is the information that “Wonder Woman” filmmaker Patty Jenkins’ “Star Wars: Rogue Squadron” movie has been scrapped as a result of that was the phrase on the movie virtually two years in the past (although it was solely formally taken off the schedule in September 2022). Rian Johnson’s “Star Wars” trilogy was talked about within the report too, however given he nonetheless owes Netflix another “Knives Out” movie, it nonetheless might be years away, if it ever comes in any respect.

So what of the open December 2025 launch date, at present being saved for a “Star Wars” movie? Well, filmmaker Taika Waititi’s film is an possibility, and he’s nonetheless engaged on it, apparently. Waititi voiced IG-11 on “The Mandalorian” and directed episodes of season one. Evidently, the filmmaker would even have a considerable position within the film if he ever will get his script authorised, however the truth that it isn’t lifeless is hopeful.

What positively appears subsequent is a “Star Wars” movie from producer Damon Lindelof (“Watchmen”) and filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, a two-time Oscar-winning documentarian (“Saving Face,” “A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness”), who made her live-action narrative debut with two episodes of “Ms. Marvel” for Disney+ final 12 months. Lindelof is writing that movie with Justin Britt-Gibson (“Counterpart”). While there are not any particulars and no affirmation from Variety or Lucasfilm, the film is closely rumored to be the following “Star Wars” film set to return out in 2025.

Additional rumors, unsubstantiated up to now, say that Daisy Ridley might have an element and reprise her Rey Skywalker character within the movie. Additionally, Oscar Isaac and John Boyega might be concerned too—so the rumors say—and it could be set within the present timeline however heart on a brand new workforce and new mission with the Episode 6-9 solid on the sidelines and or considerably concerned. That’s the rumor anyhow, together with whispers of Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (who will play Marvel’s Wonder Man) being eyed for a task.

Much remains to be unknown about “Star Wars” Celebration, however right here’s what you must anticipate: updates about “Andor” season two; Leslye Headland’s “The Acolyte” anticipated in 2024, Jon Watts’ “Skeleton Crew” collection, which might come out in late 2023; and the primary main promotional push for “Ahsoka,” starring Rosario Dawson. Spun off from each the animated “Star Wars: Clone Wars” and “The Mandalorian,” the “Ahoska” present goals to debut in late summer season of this 12 months.
