Next Star Wars Movie Reportedly Filming Sooner Than You Think
The next Star Wars movie may be starting production sooner rather than later. Since the release ofStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in December 2019, Star Wars has diverted its focus from feature films and has instead grown its content library on Disney+. Shows like The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, andObi-Wan Kenobi have been highly successful on the streaming service for Lucasfilm, and the upcoming series Andor and Ahsoka have already garnered massive levels of anticipation. However, the development of their next feature films has mostly languished, with Lucasfilm constantly announcing spin-off projects for theatres, only for them to receive little to no updates.
In 2017, Lucasfilm announced that Rian Johnson would direct a trilogy of films after the critical success of The Last Jedi. Since then, the trilogy was moved to the backburner, as Johnson is busy crafting the next chapters in the Knives Out franchise with the upcoming Glass Onion and its third film for Netflix. The same thing happened with Patty Jenkins' Rogue Squadron, which was announced at Investor Day in December 2020, with a December 22, 2023 release date. Unfortunately, the film's production start is currently delayed, and the project may or may not be made, with Jenkins currently working on a sequel to Wonder Woman 1984. However, fans who have been patiently waiting for the next theatricalStar Wars chapter may not wait that long anymore.
