The Next Star Wars Movies Will Begin Production In 2024

The Mandalorian & Grogu

Star Wars movies have finally become a priority for Lucasfilm again, meaning production for the next film will begin in 2024. It's unknown if the strikes have impacted the 2026 release window, but regardless, its heightened priority guarantees that its production will start this year. 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 will begin later this year. It's due to release on May 22, 2026.

Rey's New Jedi Order movie

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, New Jedi Order will likely still begin production in 2024, though its release date will likely be pushed back to December 2026 at the earliest.
