Jim O'Heir, who most know as the haplessly wholesome Jerry Gergich from Parks and Recreation, is apparently part of a Star Wars production.
On an episode of the Parks and Recollections podcast, O'Heir was asked about what projects he's working on. "Oh shoot. I don’t know if I’m allowed to say where I am," he replied. "I can say a State. I’m in a state, New Mexico, I don’t know." Fellow Parks and Recreation alum Rob Lowe then interjected, saying, "I will say, Jim, I know what you’re working on, and it rhymes with the latest installment of Bar Wars."
While the Star Wars project in question wasn't mentioned by name, the "latest installment" comment by Lowe and the fact that it's something still being filmed suggests it's Season 3 of The Mandalorian, which began shooting in late 2021 and is expected to last until the end of March. However, Season 3 was also only expected to shoot at the Volume complex in Manhattan Beach, CA, as well as El Segundo, so the fact that O'Heir is in New Mexico could signal that it's a different project altogether. Regardless, joining a Star Wars production would mark yet another major sci-fi right of passage for O'Heir, who previously appeared in a 2000 episode of Star Trek: Voyager.
In addition to Season 3 of The Mandalorian, other upcoming Star Wars television projects include Season 2 of The Bad Batch, as well as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor, Ahsoka, The Acolyte and Lando. Another show from Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts with the working title Grammar Rodeo is also said to be in development.
Things are a little more scarce on the film side of the Star Wars universe. Despite the production being placed on indefinite hold, Patty Jenkins' Rogue Squadron was still on Disney's 2023 release calendar during the last update. Elsewhere, there are films from Kevin Feige and Taika Waititi in development, and Rian Johnson's long-brewing Star Wars trilogy has yet to be formally canceled.
At the time of this writing, untitled Star Wars films remain on Disney's calendar for December 2025 and 2027.
