Disney recently confirmed that Star Wars will release three new movies in 2026 and 2027, which matches with the franchise's release schedule for those years. There are quite a few upcoming Star Wars movies currently in development, from confirmed titles like The Mandalorian & Grogu to less well-defined films like New Jedi Order. Despite the number of movies Star Wars has in development, however, very little information about them has been made available. While the franchise still hasn't confirmed any story details, Disney has confirmed when the next Star Wars movies will hit theaters.
Disney's third-quarter investor presentation confirmed that Star Wars will have three new movies in 2026 and 2027, among other details.
Aside from the confirmation that The Mandalorian & Grogu would mark Star Wars' return to movie theaters, there hasn't been much information about the franchise's upcoming films. There haven't even been filming updates about The Mandalorian & Grogu, which seemed to be a sign that its release date would be pushed back. Disney's investor presentation, however, seems to be proof that Star Wars' ongoing projects are still on schedule, and that they should be ready for the release dates Lucasfilm has booked in the coming years.
Will We Get More News At D23 This Weekend?
Lucasfilm announced its D23 schedule recently, and the Disney Entertainment Showcase at D23 looks like one of the most likely places Lucasfilm would make an announcement about its upcoming Star Wars films. That showcase has promised to give a glimpse of future projects and "surprise announcements" that could easily include The Mandalorian & Grogu, New Jedi Order, or even Dawn of the Jedi. If Disney does use D23 as a way to promote Star Wars' upcoming movies, there could easily be not just confirmed release dates, but also confirmed story details by August 9.
"Even if Disney doesn't reveal information about the upcoming Star Wars movies at D23, those details can't be much further off."
Even if Disney doesn't reveal information about the upcoming Star Wars movies at D23, those details can't be much further off. Star Wars hasn't been in theaters since Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in 2019, and both Lucasfilm and Disney need The Mandalorian & Grogu to be a success. The companies will need to begin marketing as soon as possible, and they'll need to confirm at least some of the upcoming movies' details to market them effectively. That means that news about the future of Star Wars is almost certainly on the horizon.
