Just days after it was released, The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026) has been replaced, surely leaving Lucasfilm questioning the future of the Star Wars franchise. For most of the last seven years, the future of Star Wars was a television set. When Disney+ launched in November 2019, The Mandalorian didn’t just introduce Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu to the ...

Next week, The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm will officially end the historic seven-year run of Star Wars exclusivity on the Disney+ streaming service.

The Star Wars galaxy is preparing for a major shift. Nearly 50 years after George Lucas first introduced audiences to a galaxy far, far away, Lucasfilm is charting a course beyond the Skywalker lineage and into largely unexplored storytelling territory. The franchise’s return to theaters is set for next year, marking its first big-screen outing since J. J. Abrams closed ...
