The future of theStar Wars franchise, for the time being at least, seems to be firmly on Disney+. After the conclusion of the Skywalker Saga with The Rise of Skywalker in December of 2019,Star Wars has pivoted to its parent company’s streaming service as new feature films, and possible a new central saga, remains in the works. The Mandalorian has become a massive hit, not only amongst Star Wars fans but with a broader audience. It has proved to be a solid entryway to the franchise for first time viewers due to its semi-isolated nature and focus on two new characters in the form of Din Djarin and Grogu. The second Star Wars live action series The Book of Boba Fett, premiered late last year and continued into 2022. Even more shows are set to debut later this year, with Obi-Wan Kenobi coming in just a few weeks' time.
Despite the sheer amount of Star Wars shows on the way, of which there are many (even beyond the year of 2022, with no signs of slowing down), the franchise has a long history in animation television over the years as well. Although George Lucas attempted to move the franchise into live action TV during the latter years of his tenure at Lucasfilm with an Emperor Palpatine origin story show, the creator himself ultimately opted to shelve these ideas to focus on The Clone Wars, an animated project he first developed as a movie with Dave Filoni. The Clone Wars went on to become a TV show in 2008, a few months after the premiere of the feature film in movie theaters. It lasted for 8 seasons, with the final episodes coming out in early 2020 after a long hiatus.
Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars: Resistance are two other shows in the franchise, with the former garnering immense praise and support from fans and critics.
