Exciting Star Wars Shows to Keep You Hooked!
The Acolyte
The Acolyte will be the first Sith-focused story set to release on June 4, 2024. It takes fans back a hundred years before The Phantom Menace in the High Republic era, with a mystery thriller involving a former Padawan and her Jedi Master. The teaser offers a glimpse of young Padawans being trained by Lee Jung-jae’s Jedi.
Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy
Prepare to watch the upcoming LEGO Star Wars miniseries, directed by Chris Buckley, on September 13, 2024. The series follows Sig Greebling, who activates a powerful Jedi relic to rewrite reality.
Skeleton Crew
This science fiction series follows four children who discover their home planet but get lost in the galaxy. They embark on an adventure to find their way back home. Scheduled for a late 2024 release, the series is a collaborative creation of Jon Watts and Christopher Ford.
Favreau commented, “If you know Jon Watts’s work, and having been in the Spider-Man movies and seeing his other work like Cop Car, he connects with storytelling from the perspective of children, or young adults. He and Chris Ford and the whole team are very good at putting together a great cast and personality. But at the end of the day, these are people who all love Star Wars. And so the primary goal is to make sure that we stay consistent with what people have come to expect.”
Andor Season 2
Screened at the Star Wars Celebration 2023, the exclusive preview of Andor could be seen by attendees. Due to strikes by SAG-AFTRA and WGA, the filming of Andor was delayed. The show follows Cassian Andor, a thief turned revolutionary icon of the rebellion, forced into conflict without a choice. Showrunner Tony Gilroy predicted a release in August 2024, but some reports suggest it may not happen this year.
Ahsoka Season 2
The development of the show is underway, with a teaser hinting at new episodes. While the release date remains unconfirmed, Deadline suggests that Ahsoka Season 2 may premiere before Dave Filoni’s theatrical movie.
Cancelled Star Wars Movie
Kevin Feige’s Star Wars
According to a Variety report, no development progress has been made on this movie. Marvel mastermind Kevin Feige was said to be involved as the producer was tied up with other projects. Kennedy denied any concrete plans, stating, “I would love to see what movie he might come up with,” she said. “But right now, no, there isn’t anything specifically.”
