Disney confirms Star Wars movie release schedule for 2026 and 2027, more news expected at D23

Disney has officially confirmed its plan to release three new Star Wars movies in 2026 and 2027, aligning with the franchise's previously announced schedule. While details remain scarce about these upcoming films, including titles like "The Mandalorian & Grogu" and "New Jedi Order", this confirmation signals significant progress in their development.

The announcement, made during Disney's third-quarter investor presentation, indicates that Star Wars projects are on track despite the lack of recent updates. Fans are particularly eager for news about "The Mandalorian & Grogu," which is expected to mark Star Wars' return to the big screen.

With Disney's D23 fan convention just around the corner, expectations are high for more concrete information about these new Star Wars films. The Disney Entertainment Showcase, in particular, has promised a glimpse into future projects and "surprise announcements," potentially including confirmed release dates and story details.

Even if D23 doesn't deliver all the answers, it's clear that news about the future of Star Wars is imminent. After a long hiatus since "The Rise of Skywalker" in 2019, both Lucasfilm and Disney need to start building hype for the upcoming films, and that means sharing more details soon.

Whether it's at D23 or in the near future, Star Wars fans can rest assured that the galaxy far, far away is about to get a whole lot bigger.
