Okay, I'm geeking out here.

All 10 Upcoming Star Wars Shows Explained

The Mandalorian Season 3 due out next December (hopefully) and it'll be interesting to see how that series unfolds.

The Bad Batch: Introduced in Clone Wars Season 7, this spin off appears to follow the team in the immediate aftermath of Order 66.



Love the music in that trailer.

Obviously, The Book of Boba Fett for those who didn't watch the Mandalorian Season 2 finale to it's conclusion:



Boy howdy, this could get interesting.

Additionally:

No trailers yet, but there is also an Ashoka Tano spinoff series (not sure if it's animated or live action) with almost zero indications on how it will unfold.

Anakin Skywalker isn't the only returning face - his former apprentice is getting in on the fun too. Ahsoka Tano rose to prominence in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, first as a budding padawan under the future Darth Vader, and later as a worthy protagonist in her own right, fighting for justice after leaving the Jedi behind. Ahsoka made her live-action bow in The Mandalorian season 2, portrayed by Rosario Dawson, and the episode attracted rave reviews, but after Dawson's casting was announced, many suspected a spin-off series was on the cards. Ahsoka will be written by Dave Filoni, who has masterminded the character since her conception, and he'll produce alongside The Mandalorian's Jon Favreau. Ahsoka is described as a "limited series," so don't expect this to be a long-running gig.

With Filoni and Favreau both being involved, this one should be done right.

Also, a Obi-Wan Kenobi series fans have been anxiously waiting for.

After much rumor and speculation, Ewan McGregor's return as Obi-Wan Kenobi was confirmed at the 2019 D23 event, with The Mandalorian's Deborah Chow directing the Disney+ TV series. Alas, the project has been fairly quiet since, with conflicting reports as to Obi-Wan's progress. Now officially titled Obi-Wan Kenobi (simple, but effective), Disney reveals that the Jedi's story will pick up 10 years after Revenge of the Sith, as Obi-Wan watches over a young Luke Skywalker on Tatooine. In arguably the biggest surprise of the night, Hayden Christensen is now confirmed to be reprising his role as Darth Vader, Kenobi's fallen apprentice and the Empire's resident Sith Lord

Kenobi has serious potential since they are re-introducing Hayden Christensen into the role of Darth Vader. I think he's a horrid actor, but if they split the series somehow with Kenobi and Vader going about their "daily lives" it has serious potential. Everyone geeked out when Vader made an appearance in Rogue One. A series with Vader slicing and dicing through the galaxy looking for the remains of the Jedi and Kenobi slicing and dicing his way across Tatooine?

Also, it's being directed by Deborah Chow who directed two outstanding episodes of the Mandalorian.

Rangers Of The New Republic

A second direct spin-off from The Mandalorian is Rangers of the New Republic. Following the downfall of the Empire in Return of the Jedi, the Rebel Alliance help establish the New Republic - the system of governance that will ultimately be wiped out by the First Order in The Force Awakens. As seen in The Mandalorian, New Republic pilots like Trapper Wolf and Carson Teva become responsible for maintaining order in a chaotic galaxy, sweeping up any lingering Imperial remnants along the way. Once again, the dream team of Favreau and Filoni will be behind Rangers of the New Republic, and Disney also teases a crossover event that will presumably incorporate both The Mandalorian and Ahsoka.

Andor

Diego Luna made his Star Wars debut in 2016's Rogue One, portraying the charismatic Rebel spy Cassian Andor, and a spin-off TV series centered around his espionage exploits was first announced as early as 2018 - one of the first Star Wars projects confirmed for Disney+. Like Obi-Wan Kenobi's solo venture, the Cassian Andor show went quiet, but earlier this month, Luna himself revealed production was underway. Now officially titled Andor, Disney has slapped a 2022 release date on the series

The Acolyte

Back in February, Disney unveiled a new range of Star Wars stories based around the High Republic, and set 200 years prior to The Phantom Menace. Set to kick off in early 2021 (having fallen victim to COVID-19 delays), the High Republic storyline finds the Jedi Order in their heyday, and will be told through various mediums, with novels and comic books already announced.

Lando

Lando Calrissian was always a natural born survivor with a habit of landing on his feet, but his upcoming solo series marks a total of 3 separate comebacks in the Disney era. First, Lando was reborn through Donald Glover in Solo, then Billy Dee Williams made his long-awaited return in The Rise of Skywalker, and now the galaxy's suavest man is back for more in Lando.

Star Wars: Visions

Something for the anime fans, Star Wars: Visions will offer a starkly different perspective on George Lucas' ever-expanding world. Among Marvel's roster of upcoming Disney+ projects, Kevin Feige unveiled What If...?, which would comprise alternate-world vignettes detached from the main MCU continuity. In a similar vein, Star Wars: Visions will consist of 10 episodes, each telling a different story within the Star Wars world.

A Droid Story

R2-D2 and C-3PO always were a little like Buzz and Woody, and the iconic droid duo will return in Disney+'s A Droid Story, alongside an unspecified new hero. Currently in its infancy, A Droid Story is being touted as a feat of cutting edge visual effects, blending Star Wars animation with the renowned work of Lucasfilm's Industrial Light & Magic division.

Visions has the potential to rock it.

Acolyte also, though I know nothing of the producer.

Andor... maybe.

Lando could be decent. I'm not sold on it yet until I see a trailer or hear more.

Rangers... it does have the advantage of having Filoni and Favreau involved, so there is that.

Plus a Rogue Squadron movie coming out maybe in 2023?

Disney trying to cash in on the success, but are they overdoing it?

Not sold on Droid Story. Looks like a kids thing maybe.

Looking forward to all of it. Just hope they space it out so I can keep up.

Would like to see Lando feature both Billy Dee and Glover. It would work great as flashback/narrated format. With Billy Dee setting the stage and flashbacks to Glover.

My kids will love a Droids movie. Some over their favorite episodes of CW were the “Gulliver’s Travel” arc of R2 and 3P0. I’ve been saying for years they should do a Pixar-esque Droids animated movie that is for families.

I'm really looking forward to most of it. Some of it more so than others. The only thing I'm not thrilled about is the anime show. I've just never been able to watch anime style stuff, don't know why, just can't. Normal animation like clone wars or rebels is fine. But hell I know it's impossible please everyone, so I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it

acolyte sounds good.

Supposedly a Luke Skywalker show is in “development”. That could mean they are simply thinking about how they can make it work but it falls through.

I think that is a very high bar to make. He is such a legend character there's only so much you can do without effecting or being held back by previous stuff. I think Luke would be better served as a high profile temporary character visiting the shows occasionally.

I agree, but Sebastian stan or what ever his name is does have the "potential " to be a passable luke from the stuff I've seen.

Then they need to plug him in whenever there's a "Luke" episode. Not that I didn't like the Hamill cameo but if you're adding a Young Luke to the roster then start putting in a new actor

I agree. Plus my understanding is that de-aling / face over stuff they do is still very hit or miss (has to be very static) and extremely expensive to do.

I didn't think it was that great in this last episode. I'd rather SS take on the role than to keep trying that.

I think it was great for a 1 off thing. Shock value, nothing could have hit us in the feels like that. But yeah everything else needs to be a real actor, not a stand in with digital magic

I thought it was pretty convincing but the lip sync was a bit off when he spoke. I think it’s hard for the brain to process seeing these actors young when you know they are not.

But I did run across this yesterday No spoiler tag because at this point it’s all over the internets...

If they don't use Sebastian Stan as Luke, I think an animated "Jedi Academy" show could work. Hamill obviously has plenty of voice acting experience, and it could develop Ben's character evolution to his turn to the dark side. Kinda like clone wars fleshed out its characters more.

I hope I'm being paranoid but I feel like the third sister will get as much air time as Ben and Vader combined.... Yeah that's paranoia

I think she is going to be the main one in charge of tracking Kenobi so do expect her to be in it a lot. However…

vader and Kenobi are supposed to clash twice

I expect her to get a lot of screen time I have no problem with that. I just fear she will become THE center instead of A center
