Latest News About Upcoming Star Wars Movies

Here’s a concise update on the latest news about upcoming Star Wars movies.

• The two confirmed theatrical release dates in the near term are May 22, 2026 for The Mandalorian and Grogu, and May 28, 2027 for Star Wars: Starfighter. These dates anchor Lucasfilm’s near-future big-screen slate and suggest a deliberate pairing of a Mandalorian-centered project with a new Starfighter movie.[3][4]
• Other projects in development include Rian Johnson’s new trilogy and Simon Kinberg’s trilogy, both described as in various stages of development with release windows still TBA. Reports indicate both plans are ongoing, but no concrete dates have been announced publicly yet.[2][6]
• Patty Jenkins’s Rogue Squadron has had a history of delays and re-evaluation, with occasional updates indicating it remains a possibility but without a firm production timetable as of the latest coverage.[1][6]
• In addition to feature films, several Star Wars movies and spin-off projects have been discussed or rumored, but many details (including specific plots, casts, and timelines) remain unconfirmed or speculative in current reporting.[6][7]

Illustrative note: If you’re tracking this for a timeline, you can picture Lucasfilm’s current theatrical plan as centering on two confirmed 2026–2027 releases, with multiple high-profile trilogies and standalone projects queued behind them but awaiting official scheduling.
