Star Wars is flourishing more than ever, with plenty more content slated for the near future. Following 2023’s jam-packed release schedule, Star Wars has another busy year planned for 2024. Star Wars movies are high on the priority list for the first time since the Star Wars sequel trilogy, and the global success of The Mandalorian has opened the door for many new Star Wars Disney+ TV shows to come to light – both animated and live-action.
So far, Star Wars has released three animated TV shows and one live-action series. Star Wars: The Bad Batch aired its final season, with this chapter in Clone Force 99‘s story coming to a perfectly bittersweet end. Star Wars also unveiled Tales of the Empire, an animated miniseries that followed both Morgan Elsbeth and Barriss Offee in the spirit of 2022’s Tales of the Jedi. As for live-action, The Acolyte finally premiered after years of anticipation, and this High Republic era show certainly shook things up for the Star Wars galaxy.
As for what viewers can expect to see next from the franchise, the upcoming Star Wars movies and Disney+ TV shows will cover several eras of the Star Wars timeline. The next project is set in what is now referred to as the New Republic era, which will further explore the time period that The Mandalorian first established back in 2019. With plenty of new reveals in store, these are all the Star Wars stories that will come in 2024.

No New Star Wars Movies Released In 2024
Star Wars will return to theaters in 2026
Although 2024 has been another big year of Star Wars content, the movies were not a part of it. The earliest release date for a Star Wars movie is 2026, as shared at Star Wars Celebration 2023 and confirmed by Disney in 2024. Star Wars has remained on Disney+ in 2024 instead of in the theater, but at least there will be some more Star Wars movies to come, with the last premiering in 2019. These include The Mandalorian & Grogu, Rey’s New Jedi Order movie, Dave Filoni’s The Mandalorian movie, and James Mangold’s Dawn of the Jedi project.

The Next Star Wars Movie Started Production In 2024
The Mandalorian & Grogu
Star Wars movies have finally become a priority for Lucasfilm again, meaning production for the next movie is moving quickly. The next Star Wars movie set to release is The Mandalorian & Grogu, a continuation of The Mandalorian and the story of Din Djarin and Grogu. The Mandalorian & Grogu was announced early in 2024, and production officially began in July. Few details are known about the project, aside from a cast that currently consists of Pedro Pascal, Steve Blum, and Sigourney Weaver. It’s due for release on May 22, 2026.

Everything We Know About The Mandalorian & Grogu Movie
The Mandalorian’s story will continue with a Star Wars movie. Here’s everything we know about the project, including cast, release, and timeline.
The story details that are known so far come from The Mandalorian & Grogu movie footage shown at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. One of the most notable surprises is the return of the Razor Crest ship, which was previously destroyed by Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian season 2. Another big surprise was Star Wars Rebels hero Zeb Orrelios, who previously made his live-action debut in The Mandalorian season 3. Din Djarin and Grogu look to be on an exciting adventure in this footage, proving that this Star Wars movie is making great strides ahead.
Rey’s New Jedi Order Movie Will Likely Enter Production In 2025
The Mandalorian & Grogu was a recent addition to Star Wars‘ movie slate, and the movie originally intended to be the next release was Rey’s New Jedi Order movie. This was first revealed at Star Wars Celebration in 2023, as was Daisy Ridley’s return to Star Wars as Rey Skywalker to lead the movie. Since the movie has been in pre-production for so long, the New Jedi Order movie is unlikely to begin production in 2024, though its release date will likely be the December 2026 window Star Wars has already claimed.
What Star Wars TV Shows Are Still Due To Release In 2024
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew
- Release Date: December 3, 2024
This coming-of-age Star Wars show will take place in the New Republic era, following a group of kids who get lost in the galaxy following a discovery made on their home planet. The Star Wars: Skeleton Crew trailer shows the four kids, named Wim, Fern, Neel, and KB, on the day just before a big test that will supposedly alter the course of their entire lives. That night, they make a discovery that accidentally sends them on a ship into hyperspace, where they come across dangerous strangers – such as The Mandalorian season 3’s pirate Vane.
Jude Law stars as the supposed Force-sensitive character named Jod Na Nawood, and the style has been compared to Amblin Entertainment – something that already seems evident in its trailer. Jon Watts and Christopher Ford are at the creative helm of Skeleton Crew, with Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni serving as executive producers. This Star Wars project will be the last to release in 2024, as it will premiere on December 3.
