It's an exciting day for Star Wars fans. Disney announced its latest projects in an investors meeting, touching on its plans for the future of Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, Disney+ and Disneyland. During the call, executive Kareem Daniel announced several new Star Wars projects shows in development.
Here's a list of every new Star Wars series announced, not including Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor or The Bad Batch, which were confirmed prior to Disney's Investor Day.
Rangers of the New Republic
Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni are developing the original series Rangers of the New Republic, which is set in the timeline of The Mandalorian. Starring Pedro Pascal, The Mandalorian follows Din Djarin as he attempts to reunite Grogu with the Jedi in the early days of the New Republic. Few details have been released on the project.
Ahsoka
Ahsoka is the second spinoff of The Mandalorian and stars Rosario Dawson as the fan-favorite Ahsoka Tano. Originally created for The Clone Wars animated series, Ahsoka was Anakin Skywalker's Padawan and became one of the most popular faces of the animated series.
She made her live-action debut in The Mandalorian Season 2, Episode 7, "The Jedi," where she reveals Grogu's name to Din Djarin and points the duo in the direction of an ancient Jedi temple, so Grogu can reach out through the Force to find a new master.
The Acolyte
Leslye Headland, known for the Netflix original series Russian Doll, will helm The Acolyte, a mystery-thriller set in the High Republic's final days, exploring the sinister secrets of an emerging Dark Side power. The High Republic is also an upcoming publishing event that will usher in the next era of Star Wars material, set 200 years before the prequel trilogy, and it kicks off with the novel The Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule.
Lando
Lando Calrissian, who debuted in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and was originally portrayed by Billy Dee Williams, will return in Lando, a brand new event series for Disney+. It is currently in development by Justin Simien (Dear White People). There's no confirmation yet on who will portray the famous scoundrel, but fans speculate Donald Glover will reprise his role as a young Lando from Solo: A Star Wars Story.
A Droid Story
Along with a number of live-action projects, A Droid Story will be a new, animated series coming to Disney+. Produced by Lucasfilm Animation and Industrial Light & Magic, the show will star the most iconic duo of droids in Star Wars history, C-3PO and R2-D2. There will also be a new hero, but they are unknown at the time of this writing, as is the release date.
Rogue Squadron
While most of the new content was about streaming series, there was also the announcement of Rogue Squadron, a live-action film with a Christmas 2023 anticipated release date. Directed by Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman), she aims to make, "the greatest fighter pilot movie of all time." Presumably, the movie will in turn follow the X-Wing fighters of the Rebellion, especially if it has any connection to the non-canon Legends continuity.
Visions
Star Wars: Visions is an original series of animated short films. According to Disney, the series will be a celebration of Star Wars, and it will be brought to life by, "the world's best Japanese anime creators." Visions will premiere in 2021 on Disney+ and will run for ten episodes.
