Every Star Wars TV show and movie coming in 2023

Star Wars movies: An undated mess

So there are a lot of Star Wars shows on the way in 2023, on streaming and elsewhere, and even one high profile video game. But what about movies? That’s how this whole series started, isn’t it? Where the next New Hope? The next Phantom Menace? Force Awakens? We don’t know, and I’m not sure Disney does either, because lately they can’t seem to drag any movie project out of development hell.

The movie that got the closest to happening may have been Rogue Squadron, a movie about starship pilots to be directed by Wonder Woman’s Patty Jenkins. They even made a little teaser for it, as you can see above. The movie was originally gong to come out this year, but was later removed from the release schedule. Its fate is uncertain, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it never sees the light of day.

There have been whispers of other movies. Taika Waititi was going to make one, but we’ve heard nothing of substance since the initial announcement; even the director himself isn’t sure it will ever get made. Director Rian Johnson was supposed to make a whole new Star Wars trilogy, but that was before there was a massive backlash to his film The Last Jedi; years have passed since then, and all we’ve heard is occasional comments from Johnson that he’d like to follow through if he ever gets the opportunity. Marvel boss Kevin Feige is said to be working on a Star Wars movie, but we haven’t heard much about it; let’s hope no news is good news where that is concerned.

Damon Lindelof is also said to be working on a Star Wars movie, but we have no way of knowing if that’s actually happening or just so much hot air. After the backlashes to The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker, as well as the underperformance of movies like Solo, it feels like Disney is gun shy when it comes to Star Wars on the big screen. They’ll probably get their act together sooner or later, but it won’t be in time to release anything in 2023.
