When discussing the world’s most famous sci-fi franchise and its upcoming releases, the conversation can easily stretch on for hours. From the close release of “The Acolyte” to the cancellation of Kevin Feige’sStar Wars” movie, George Lucas’s creation boasts a multitude of projects that live in development hell.

The worst case has to do with the films. Given the passionate fanbase surrounding the universe, producers must exercise extreme caution when expanding upon the main lore. Despite its significant impact at the box office, it’s widely acknowledged that the last trilogy of the Skywalker saga failed to fully resonate with Star Wars enthusiasts.

Consequently, recognizing the lengthy preparation involved in crafting movies, Disney+ has made a strategic foray into the realm of series. And the momentum shows no signs of slowing down. Here, check out all the details about the “Star Wars” series slated for release in either 2024 or, at the latest, mid-2025.
