The Mandalorian: Season 3 (TV Series – returns 2021) The Mandalorian: Season 2 has finished, but now it’s time to look towards the third season. We can expect a major shake up to the overall storyline, with the main thread that drove the first two seasons having now been officially been tied. Obi-Wan Kenobi (TV Series – release date: 2021) After years of speculation, Ewan McGregor will once again don the Jedi robes to play Obi Wan Kenobi in a brand new Star Wars series for Disney Plus! Originally set to start shooting in August this year, McGregor has since confirmed that filming for the upcoming Obi Wan Kenobi series has been pushed back until at least January 2021. According to the actor, the series’ release date probably won’t be affected by the delay. In more recent news, it’s also been announced that Hayden Christensen will be returning to the Star Wars universe for the series, presumably to play Darth Vader without his helmet on. Andor (TV Series – release date: TBA) Appreciation for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has grown by leaps and bounds in the years since its release, which is why the prospect of a prequel series following rebellion spy Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) and his smart aleck droid K-2S0 (Alan Tudyk) is so exciting. Stephen Schiff (The Americans) will act as showrunner and executive producer, indicating a darker Star Wars show with more of an espionage theme – Andor’s character did shoot someone in the back in his introductory scene, after all… Ahsoka (TV Series – release date: TBA) Following her fantastic appearance in The Mandalorian’s second season, Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) is getting her very own spin-off series that’s said to take place immediately after the events of Return of the Jedi. The Book of Boba Fett (TV Series – release date: TBA) Revealed in secret in the post-credits sequence that followed The Mandalorian: Season 2’s finale, The Book of Boba Fett will follow the adventures of the titular bounty hunter (played once again by Temuera Morrison) and his warrior sidekick Fennec (Ming-Na Wen) after their taking of Jabba’s Palace. Robert Rodriguez, Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni will executive produce the show. Star Wars: Rangers of the New Republic (TV Series – release date: TBA) Yet another spin-off series, Star Wars: Rangers of the New Republic is a new live-action Disney Plus show set during the same time period as The Mandalorian. If we had to guess what the series will be about, we’d say it’ll likely follow the guys who showed up to rescue Mando from that giant spider in season 2. The Acolyte (TV Series – release date: TBA) A bold new take on the Star Wars universe, The Acolyte is a female-led mystery thriller series from Leslye Headland, showrunner of Netflix’s acclaimed show Russian Doll. The Acolyte will be set during the final days of the High Republic. Lando (TV Series – release date: TBA) Everyone’s favourite scoundrel Lando Calrissian is getting his own series on Disney Plus, with Dear White People’s Justin Simien acting as showrunner. At present, it’s unknown which era the series will take place during, or whether Donald Glover (or Billy Dee Williams, for that matter) will return to the role. Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge (TV Series – release date: 2020) Essentially a Star Wars-themed game show for kids, Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge will see prospective Padawans take on a series of tests in the « Jedi principles of strength, knowledge, and bravery.
