Here’s an overview of all “Star Wars” projects in progress.

The animated series The Bad Batch follows five clones of Unit 99. Unlike other clones, they have special abilities that make them unique. It is not yet known how the second season will continue. However, Omega and AZI-3 will be back.

“Star Wars: Visions” is a collection of several anime-style short films, each telling completed stories from the “Star Wars” universe. Producer James Waugh told Deadline that the second season will be less (Japanese) anime and will feature animation styles from around the world.

The second season is expected in spring 2023.

Set during the High Republic period, this children’s animated series follows youngsters on their journey to become Jedi Knights. The Jedi-in-training will explore themes of compassion, self-discipline, teamwork, patience, and friendship.

Disney has scheduled the series to launch in spring 2023.

The third season of The Mandalorian picks up after the events of the season finale of The Book of Boba Fett, which saw Mando and Grogu reunite. Because Din Djarin (played by Pedro Pascal) took off his helmet, he is no longer recognized as a Mandalorian. Now the two are on their way to the planet Mandalore.

The new episodes will be released weekly on Disney Plus starting March 1.

Ahsoka Tano was a Padawan of Anakin Skywalker and appeared in several “Star Wars” series such as “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”, “Star Wars Rebels” and “The Mandalorian”. Now she’s getting her own spin-off. Rosario Dawson already played the ex-Jedi in The Mandalorian and will also take on the role in Ahsoka. Hayden Christensen will reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader for an ‘Obi-Wan’ crossover.

The series is scheduled for Disney Plus in 2023.

In the sequels he was played by Donald Glo-ver. It is not yet known who will take on the role in the series. Disney has not yet announced a release date.

The creator of The Acolyte, Leslye Headland, describes the Star Wars series as “a mystery thriller that immerses viewers in a galaxy filled with dark secrets and emerging forces of the dark side who was kidnapped in the last days of the kidnapped High Republic” .

“Skeleton Crew” tells the story after the events of “Return of the Jedi”. Through the eyes of four children. Jude Law is part of the cast so far, but it is not yet known what role he will play. Vanity Fair has described the series, long known by the code name Grammar Rodeo, as “a galactic take on Amblin’s classic ’80s coming-of-age adventure movies.”

After Cassian Andor (played by Diego Luna) found his place in the burgeoning rebellion in Andor’s first season, the second season will lead into the events of Rogue One. Stellan Skarsgård will also reappear as Luthen.

Production on the second season started in November and can be expected in 2024.

In this animated film, the cult duo of R2-D2 and C-3PO are joined by a new hero on a mission only the droids know. The start date is not yet known.

This movie revolves around the renegade squad founded by Luke Skywalker. The director is Patty Jenkins (of Wonder Woman fame), who announced in a video on Twitter that she has finally found a story that combines two things she loves.
