This last week or so has seen the Skywalker Saga end, again, and from this point on the Star Wars franchise is in a bit a period of change. We have three new Star Wars movies dated by Disney, but currently, no creatives attached to these movies, the first of which is due to hit in December 2022. Yes, there are some confirmed Disney+ shows still to appear, we have The Mandalorian Season 2, the Cassian Andor and Obi-Wan Kenobi shows all definites, but we are left unsure of what happens next in movie theaters.

Disney CEO Bob Iger recently appeared on The Star Wars Show, and you can catch the full interview above, but here is what he said about the future of Star Wars.

“It’s been an incredibly fulfilling and a very exciting journey, but actually, I think, in many respects we’re just getting started, we’ve accomplished a lot — obviously with the saga films, the Skywalker Saga — and the opening of Galaxy’s Edge here in California and in Florida, and of course, a few other films along the way and TV series. But it feels like we’re just starting to mine the full potential of what Star Wars is and what Star Wars can be. And I think it took some time as Lucasfilm became part of Disney and we started thinking long term — not just about fulfilling the interest of the fans short-term, but long-term what could happen — and I get a sense that the future is far more vast than we expected it to be, and so there’s just a lot that lies ahead.”

I’m not sure how much of that is for the shareholders or are they just not telling us what their plans are. So far we have heard nothing since Game of Thrones former showrunners Benioff and Weiss left the next trilogy, though those dates remain set, for now. Since 2015, Lucasfilm has released one Star Wars movie per year, though Iger himself had said previously perhaps this was “a little too much, too fast,” and Disney would be “a little bit more careful about volume and timing” when he spoke with THR a while back.

So we continue to await any news of what comes next for Star Wars in movie theaters, and who is going to now make those next three movies, if they even happen. Personally, unless they already have something in place, I feel like they should delay those release dates or else it’s happening too fast again. Find the right creatives and give them time to develop a new story, Disney cannot afford to rush in and give audiences something mediocre at this point, we’ve had quite enough of that with Star Wars recently already.
