Ahsoka (TV) (set after Ahsoka Tano's cameo appearance in episode 6 of The Book of Boba Fett, running in parallel with The Mandalorian season 3) And Thor: Ragnarok / Love and Thunder director (and voice of IG-11 in The Mandalorian) Taika Waititi confirmed in November 2023 that his Star Wars movie is still in the works – and that it's likely to be a departure from other movies in the franchise. “It will be … dramatic pause… a Taika Waititi film,” he told Variety on the red carpet for his latest movie, Next Goal Wins. “It's gonna p**s people off.” Andor (TV) (set in a similar time period to Star Wars Rebels in the lead up to A New Hope.

Disney has added significantly to that continuity since, with most new books, games, comics and TV series (such as Rebels, Resistance, The Mandalorian, Obi-Wan Kenobi , Andor and The Bad Batch) existing in the same official canon as the Star Wars movies.We've used A New Hope as an anchor point in the timeline, which tends to be how the timeline is measured officially in the fictional universe. In-universe dates are traditionally defined relative to the Battle of Yavin, the famous assault on the Death Star that brings A New Hope to a spectacular close. If you're wondering what additional Star Wars shows and bits of content are available on Disney Plus, here's a list of the other stuff you can watch – whether it's the kid-friendly Young Jedi Adventures, Lucasfilm's 2022 Grogu-themed team-up with Studio Ghibli, or behind-the-scenes documentaries about the making of The Mandalorian and Obi-Wan Kenobi. You'll find every live-action Star Wars movie to date in the list below – the Prequel Trilogy, the Original Trilogy and the Sequel Trilogy that launched in 2015 with The Force Awakens, as well as Solo: A Star Wars Story and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. To make it easier to work out what's essential and what's not, we've highlighted where releases are part of official canon

A spin-off Disney Plus movie focussed on Lando Calrissian, is also in the works, but it's unclear exactly when that's going to be set. Our guess is it'll be connected to the Solo movie in some way, and set before Lando took control of Cloud City. Star Donald Glover is set to return as the galaxy's favorite scoundrel, as well as writing the Lando movie with his brother, Stephen. You'll only find live-action Star Wars movies on this list, which is why you can't see the 2008 The Clone Wars movie – while it got a theatrical release, it was effectively a TV pilot with delusions of grandeur. As such, it doesn't really work in isolation from the long-running CG-animated TV show that followed. When Disney acquired Lucasfilm and the Star Wars rights from George Lucas in 2012, however, it reset the Expanded Universe continuity. This old Expanded Universe material was rebranded under the ‘Legends’ banner, with only the Prequel Trilogy, Original Trilogy and The Clone Wars CG-animated series remaining part of the official canon. Fast-forwarding to a later point in the timeline of that galaxy far, far away, Star Wars: Resistance is to The Force Awakens as Rebels is to A New Hope, an animated series setting the scene for the events of the sequel movie trilogy.

Skeleton Crew (TV) IN PRODUCTION (TBC, but likely to be set in a similar time zone to The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett and Ahsoka) The story of Ahsoka Tano will continue –and maybe conclude – on the big screen. (Image credit: Disney/Lucasfilm) A common thread linking The Clone Wars, Rebels, The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett is Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker's former Jedi apprentice – and a key figure in the formation of the Rebel Alliance. She's arguably the most important Star Wars character never to have appeared in one of the Skywalker Saga movies, and her TV show, Ahsoka, sees her reuniting with Sabine Wren, Hera Syndulla and other key figures from Rebels. Star Natasha Liu Bordizzo (who plays Sabine) told SFX magazine (via GamesRadar) that " Ahsoka runs along the same timeline as The Mandalorian season 3".

Star Wars Rebels animated series (TV) (starts around five years before A New Hope, with an epilogue set in the aftermath of Return of the Jedi) Tales of the Jedi (TV) (the first of these standalone stories takes place a few years before The Phantom Menace, the last – to date – is set a few years after Revenge of the Sith) Finn, Rey and Poe in The Rise of Skywalker, the last Star Wars movie to date.

The first live-action Star Wars TV series to land on Disney Plus, The Mandalorian, is set about five years after Return of the Jedi, in a lawless, post-Empire Outer Rim. Spin-off show The Book of Boba Fett is set immediately after the events of The Mandalorian season 2.According to Vanity Fair, Jude Law-starring coming-of-age story Skeleton Crew will be set in a similar post- Return of the Jedi time period. The Story of the Faithful Wookiee (originally released as part of 1978’s S tar Wars Holiday Special) Although Lucasfilm has been concentrating on making Star Wars TV output for Disney Plus in recent years, it hasn't lost interest in the big screen. At Star Wars Celebration in April 2023, three new movies were announced: an origin tale for the Jedi, set millennia before the Star Wars timeline we know and directed by Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny helmer James Mangold; the first Star Wars story to be set after the events of The Rise of Skywalker, focussed on Rey's efforts to found a new Jedi academy, and marshalled by Ms Marvel's Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy; and a climactic event movie that'll wrap up the storylines of The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka and (we think) Skeleton Crew, directed by Ahsoka creator/showrunner Dave Filoni.
