The CEO of Disney confirms plans for the next Star Wars movie and hints that more movies will be announced soon.
Lucasfilm’s plans for the next Star Wars movie, The Mandalorian & Grogu, have been revealed by Disney CEO Bob Iger. He also hinted that more movies are on the way.
The Mandalorian and the Grogu will be the next Star Wars movie, according to Disney CEO Bob Iger. This will start a new wave of movies. The Mandalorian was Disney+’s most popular show, and the first episode aired at the same time as the service’s start. A few weeks ago, Lucasfilm announced that it would be coming to theaters with The Mandalorian and Grogu, which will be directed by Jon Favreau.
Collider says Iger also stated that this would be the first of a new set of Star Wars movies, adding that “a number of them have already been announced.” So far, three more upcoming Star Wars movies have been publicly revealed. This proves that more are being made.

Lucasfilm put on hold their plans to bring Star Wars movies to theaters after Solo: A Star Wars Story failed at the box office and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker got bad reviews from both critics and audiences. It turned its attention to TV, focusing on a number of popular Star Wars Disney+ shows. Even though these have been huge hits, it was only a matter of time before Lucasfilm went back to making movies. Also, since Din Djarin was the favorite for the Disney+ shows, it makes sense that The Mandalorian figures are in the lead.
The most interesting thing about Iger’s response is that it makes it sound like other secret projects are also being planned. Of course, this includes Donald Glover’s Lando, which is now a movie instead of a TV show, but there must be more. It looks like Iger is suggesting that there are other surprises in different stages of development. Fans will be thrilled and delighted by this news.
The approved Star Wars movies allow us to explore three very different times in the future. The story of how the Force came to be is told in James Mangold’s “Dawn of the Jedi” movie, which takes place more than 25,000 years ago. In the time of the New Republic, about five years after Return of the Jedi, The Mandalorian and Grogu takes place. In 2015, 15 years after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy will show off Rey’s New Jedi Order. Every one of these times periods is ready to be explored further, so the options are endless.
