On Thursday, the studio formally eliminated the Lucasfilm task from its calendar when revealing a wave of title exposes and date modifications for its theatrical releases in 2023 and2024 The lack of “Rogue Squadron” from the lineup cast doubt on whether the movie will pertain to fulfillment at all.
Among the other statements, Disney verified that “Wish” will take the sought after Thanksgiving release date next year.

“Haunted Mansion” moved from March 10, 2023 toAug 11, 2023 and Disney revealed its Searchlight movie “Next Goal Wins” would be launched on April 21, 2023.
But, it’s the elimination of “Rogue Squadron” that is most significant.
Last November, reports emerged that Jenkins was no longer readily available to movie the Star Wars task throughout its preliminary production date because she was dedicated to other functions, consisting of a 3rd Wonder Woman movie for WarnerBros and a Cleopatra movie forParamount The idea was that Jenkin’s Star Wars function would be punted down the calendar to another date.
“Rogue Squadron” was set to be the very first theatrical Star Wars movie because the 2019 release of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” which got middling evaluations and produced over $1 billion in ticket sales worldwide.
The course for future Star Wars movies has actually been uncertain because “Rise of Skywalker” was launched. While the studio has a number of tasks in advancement, consisting of one from Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige and one from well-known director Taika Waititi, Disney has actually concentrated on informing Star Wars stories through serial material on streaming service Disney+ with hit programs like “The Mandalorian.”
There’s even talk that “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” director Rian Johnson is still connected to a stand-alone trilogy set within the Star Wars universe.
But without any significant statements from Disney, especially at its significant exposition last weekend, more concerns occurred about the future of Star Wars in movie theaters.
For now, it appears that the future of Star Wars will stay on Disney+. In addition to “The Mandalorian,” “The Book of Boba Fett” and “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” Disney has has live-action series including characters Cassian Andor and Ahsoka Tano set for release. Additionally, its animated material continues to grow as brand-new seasons of “The Bad Batch” continue to be launched and the studio has strategies to launch a series of shorts called “Tales of the Jedi.”
