To be a fan of Disney franchises is to deal with delays, but these days they’ve mostly been confined to the MCU, where movies like Captain America: Brave New World and Blade have undergone multiple release date changes. Star Wars has been focusing on television, so that universe has mostly been spared from scheduling drama... until now.
In 2023, Disney announced three new Star Wars movies: a Rey-focused sequel directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, a “Dawn of the Jedi” prequel directed by James Mangold, and a TV crossover movie directed by Dave Filoni. One of these movies — presumedly Obaid-Chinoy’s Rey sequel, though that wasn’t confirmed — was slated for December 18, 2026, on Disney’s calendar.
