Three new Star Wars movies were announced at Celebration.
Lucasfilm today announced there will be three new Star Wars feature films headed to theaters during Star Wars Celebration Europe, at the ExCel Centre in London. During the Lucasfilm Studio Showcase Panel, the movie was announced to a rapturous reception from the thousands in attendance at the Celebration Stage.
The three new films will be set across the Star Wars timeline, with James Mangold covering a period 25,000 years before the events of the saga, Dave Filoni covering the New Republic vs. the Imperial Remnants in a story between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. Most exciting, perhaps was the news that Daisy Ridley will be reprising her role as Rey in a new film set 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker, as a Jedi Master rebuilding the new Jedi Order, in a film by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The films mark the first feature film set in the Star Wars universe since 2019's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Disney and Lucasfilm had dedicated themselves, in the wake of that movie's disappointing critical and financial performance, to episodic live-action television for the streaming platform, Disney+.
The Star Wars sequel trilogy did, however, prove to be a savvy move for Disney following their acquisition of Lucasfilm for over $4 billion. 2015's The Force Awakens currently sits as the fifth-highest grossing film of all time, and brought back Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher to their roles from the original trilogy. The sequels grossed almost $4.
There have, to date, been eleven feature films set in the Star Wars universe, from between 1977 and 2019. Nine films were based around what was known as the Skywalker Saga, and the characters of Luke Skywalker and his father, Anakin, who was also the villainous Darth Vader.
