Every Star Wars fan will always remember the first time they fell in love with the saga. Whether that’s the fans who were brought in by the climatic explosion of the death star, the final fight on Mustafar, or the fall of Palpatine on Exogol. I will always remember how I loved watching the grand fight in Geonosis, in episode 2. No matter which era of Star Wars brought you in, every Star Wars fan will always remember this great saga.
With the installment of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker”, the Skywalker saga has come to a close. It has been wowing generations of children and adults, as it spanned over 42 long years. The saga consisted of 9 movies with 6 of them made by Lucas Films and the last 3 made by Disney. The end of this saga has brought the end of one of the most popular and longest-running film series.
However, this is not the end of Star Wars. There is much more to the franchise, as they have many more projects and ideas to come. Even with the end of the Skywalker saga, there are still more exciting things to come. Several announcements by Disney has gotten fans excited to stick around for more to come. Here are the series to be excited about in the future.
Mandalorian Season Two
Producer: Jon Favreau
Starring Actors: Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Carl Weathers, Giancarlo Esposito, Temuera Morrison, Timothy Olyphant, Sasha Banks, and Amy Sedaris.
Release Date: October 30th (Already Released)
The Mandalorian is a series detailing the adventures of a bounty hunter and his little sidekick child, baby Yoda. It is loved for its action-packed sequences and the enticing plot. The Mandalorian has to fight big creatures, stormtroopers, and other bounty hunters to make sure the child is safe. The action shots are not only packed but badass as well. He takes on groups of enemies by himself, as he meticulously terminates each and every opponent. With season 1 being a big hit, fans are excited to watch the bounty hunters quest to find others of the child’s kind (Jedi/force sensitives). The Mandolorian is streamed on Disney + with new episodes coming every Friday.
The Bad Batch
Producer: Dave Filoni
Starring Actors: N/A
Release Date: 2021
The Bad Batch series will dig into the story of an irregular group of clones. All the clones are created and developed the same, but occasionally there is a batch that is different from the rest. The story will entail the extreme missions group take on and their mission to find their true purpose. As they are first introduced in “The Clone Wars”, the story will pick up from their introduction in that series. The Bad Batch will be an animated series that will be streamed on Disney +.
Obi-Wan Kenobi Series
Producer: Hossein Amini
Starring Actors: Ewan McGregor
Release Date: TBD
Starring Obi-Wan Kenobi, this series will detail Kenobi’s life on Tatooine (After episode 3, but before episode 4). The plot of the story is not exactly known, as we only know the time period from Ewan McGregor. The actor has also revealed the story would unfold over six episodes. Though not knowing much about the story, Kenobi fans are excited to see the transition from Jedi Master Kenobi to Old Ben Kenobi. The series will most likely be streamed on Disney +.
Cassian Andor Series
Producer: Tony Gilroy
Starring Actors: Diego Luna, Alan Tudyk, Stellen Skarsgård, Kyle Soller, Genevieve O’Reilly, and Denis Gough.
Release Date: TBD
Those who liked Rogue One will love this series as the show will take place just before the events of Rogue One (before episode 4). The story will show Cassian and his partner in crime K-2SO (a security droid). The spy thriller will reveal the very beginnings of the rebellion and show the main characters take on many exciting missions to free the universe from the merciless empire. The series encounters the same challenges as Rogue One, as the ending of the story is already known but the journey is unknown. The series will be streamed on Disney +.
Ahsoka Tano Series
Producer: N/A
Starring Actors: N/A (Speculated to be Rosario Dawson)
Release Date: N/A
Not known to fans of the films, Ahsoka Tano was introduced in the animated series “The Clone Wars”. She was Anakin Skywalker’s padawan and made many appearances throughout the series. This series has not been confirmed by Disney, but it has been confirmed by industry insiders. Though Ahsoka has only been introduced in the animated series, her series will be live-action. There is no information about the story or the time frame.
Though the original saga has come to an end, Star Wars plans on expanding its boundaries to revealing more about the expansive universe. I’d love to know which series you are excited about.
