Disney has announced release dates for as - yet untitledStar Warsmovies in 2022 , 2024 , and 2026 . The galaxy far , far away will enter a raw era after this December’sStar Wars : The Rise of Skywalker . Directed by J.J. Abrams , The Rise of Skywalkerwill bring both the sequel trilogy ( which Abrams plain off with 2015’sThe Force Awakens ) and the larger Skywalker Saga to a close on the prominent screen . The Mouse House and Lucasfilm have already announced plans to take a bit of a hiatus after that , as far as newStar Warsmovies are concerned .
Of course , just because the films are taking a break , that does n’t mean there are n’t any in the word of mouth . BothThe Last Jediwriter - theater director Rian Johnson andGame of Thronesshowrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are forge on newStar Warsmovie trilogy at the moment . particular beyond that are being keep tightly under - wraps for the time being , but we now know when these films will in reality begin make their way into theatre .
Disney has release an updated dismission calendar for the next several years , followingits leverage of Fox ’s assetsin March . As part of the announcement , the studio apartment revealed plan to let go three untitledStar Warsfilms on the pre - Christmas weekend every other twelvemonth beginning in 2022 ( namely , December 16 , 2022 ; December 20 , 2024 ; and December 18 , 2026 ) . That imply theStar Warsmovies will be going on a elongated three - year interruption afterThe Rise of Skywalkerbecomes the fifthStar Warsfilm released in as many age , starting in 2015 .
UPDATE : Here ’s what we think the 2022 - 2026 Star Wars pic are
It ’s worth noting that Disney ’s press release specifically does n’t denote to the threeStar Warsmovies slated for 2022 - 2026 as a " trilogy " . While that could imply the Mouse House and Lucasfilm have n’t settle on which one to make next ( Johnson or Benioff and Weiss ' ) , it ’s also possible the plan is to alternate between them and spread out them out across more than four years . Many fans feltDisney ’s conclusion to release a newStar Warsmovie every yearhurt the sequel trilogy , so it ’s dear to see the studio apartment plans to space future films further aside ( whatever they finish up being ) . This also means the studio is aim to overshadow the winter holiday season by alternating between aStar Warsfilm andAvatarsequel for the foreseeable time to come , begin in 2021 . Indeed , the Mouse House hasspecifically delayedAvatar 2(again)from December 2020 to 2021 for that very reasonableness .
As such , it will be interesting to see how Disney ’s competitors react to them planting their sword lily in the sand so hard . Warner Bros. presently hasSherlock Holmes 3andAquaman 2scheduled to go straits to head withAvatarandStar Warsfilms in 2021 and 2022 , respectively , but they may decide to change - up their strategy a bit . Then again , of course , they might not . After all , Sony and Universal programme to pitJumanji 3andCats , respectively , up againstThe Rise of Skywalkerthis December , and all three film are expected to be big hits at the box office . We ’ll just have to wait and see who ( if anybody ) blinks first in this particular game ofStar Wars - related volaille .
