What to Expect From Star Wars in 2025

With 2025 looming, Star Wars fans person a full caller year’s worthy of contented to look guardant to. Unfortunately, 2025 isn’t shaping up to beryllium nan franchise’s biggest year. With nary caller movies connected nan docket and only 1 live-action bid confirmed for release, nan pickings are looking a small slim.

But that’s not to opportunity there’s thing breathtaking connected nan horizon. The merchandise of Andor Season 2 unsocial is logic for Star Wars fans to observe for illustration nan Rebels dancing connected Endor. Let’s return a person look astatine what is coming successful 2025, and nan galore Star Wars projects we dream to study much astir successful nan adjacent 12 months.

Andor Returns for Season 2

This is nan large one. The Star Wars slate whitethorn beryllium a small sparse successful 2025, but it’s difficult to kick excessively overmuch erstwhile we’re getting a sequel to what is wide regarded arsenic nan champion Star Wars task Disney has released truthful far. That’s right, Andor Season 2 is yet dropping successful April 2025.

Season 2 chronicles nan 2nd half of this deep, introspective root communicative for Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor. If Season 1 was nan communicative of really a young Cassian became radicalized and joined nan fledgling Rebel Alliance, past Season 2 will show america nan vulnerable missions he undertook starring up to nan events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Fittingly, pinch nan bid moving person to nan clip play of Rogue One, we’ll spot much acquainted faces from that movie popular up successful Season 2. Most notably, Alan Tudyk will reprise nan domiciled of K-2SO, arsenic we study really Cassian first met this eccentric Imperial assassin droid. We’re besides looking guardant to seeing Ben Mendelsohn don his cape erstwhile much arsenic Death Star task head Director Orson Krennic.

Fans tin expect Season 2 to screen a batch of ground, pinch aggregate clip jumps unfolding complete nan people of nan play and nan last batch of episodes set successful nan days starring up to Rogue One. In different words, don’t expect a Season 3. But do expect a Star Wars communicative that continues to research nan mean men and women who lit nan spark of rebellion successful a clip of awesome darkness.

More Star Wars: Visions

More Andor is great, but what astir nan animated broadside of things? With The Bad Batch wrapping up successful 2024, nan 1 Star Wars animated bid confirmed to return successful 2025 is Star Wars: Visions. Once again, fans will beryllium treated to an anthology of animated shorts featuring various animation studios interpreting nan mythology of Star Wars done their own, unsocial lens.

Season 3 is said to bring Visions backmost to its roots arsenic an anime anthology, whereas Season 2 took much of a bumi approach. The studios progressive successful Season 3 see Cyberpunk Edgerunners’ Studio Trigger and Attack connected Titan’s WIT Studio, on pinch David Production, Kamikaze Douga, ANIMA, Kinema Citrus Co., Polygon Pictures, Production I.G, and Project Studio Q.

Will There Be More Star Wars TV?

However overmuch we’re looking guardant to much of Star Wars: Andor and Star Wars: Visions, there’s nary getting astir nan truth that 2025 is looking beautiful bladed connected nan Star Wars TV beforehand compared to erstwhile years. In 2024 unsocial we comberan 2 live-action shows successful The Acolyte and Skeleton Crew and 2 animated bid successful The Bad Batch: Season 3 and Tales of nan Empire. But successful 2025, we only person 1 confirmed live-action bid and 1 animated series, positive nan last 2 episodes of Skeleton Crew.

Is location a chance Disney has much shows planned we don’t cognize about? Possibly, astatine slightest connected nan animated front. Don’t hide that we only learned astir nan beingness of Tales of nan Empire a period earlier it dropped connected Disney+ successful May 2024. It’s wholly imaginable that they could propulsion nan aforesaid instrumentality again successful 2025, announcing different “Tales of” anthology bid to travel up Tales of nan Empire and Tales of nan Jedi.

There’s besides nan mobility of whether Disney has immoderate long-form Star Wars animated projects successful improvement correct now. With The Bad Batch wrapping up past year, we person to ideate that Dave Filoni and others person been difficult astatine activity crafting nan adjacent awesome Star Wars animated saga. We astir apt won’t spot that bid merchandise successful 2025, but it’s imaginable we’ll astatine slightest get an announcement and possibly moreover spot immoderate early footage. That could beryllium 1 of nan large announcements astatine Star Wars Celebration Japan successful April.

But connected nan live-action front, don’t expect immoderate large surprises successful 2025. The Acolyte was officially canceled, and pinch The Mandalorian saga continuing connected nan large screen, we don’t moreover cognize if The Mandalorian: Season 4 is ever happening. That conscionable leaves Ahsoka: Season 2, and that bid isn’t returning until 2026 astatine least.

The End of nan High Republic

If things are looking a small barren connected nan live-action Star Wars beforehand correct now, nan aforesaid surely can’t beryllium said for nan publishing broadside of things. Fans of nan Star Wars books and comics will beryllium eating very good successful 2025, peculiarly those pursuing Lucasfilm Publishing’s High Republic saga. For nan past respective years, these books and comics person been exploring nan triumphs and tribulations of nan Jedi hundreds of years earlier nan Star Wars movies, and it each comes to an extremity soon.

Look for respective awesome High Republic novels to beryllium released successful 2025, including Charles Soule’s The High Republic: Trials of nan Jedi, Claudia Gray’s The High Republic: Into nan Light, and Justina Ireland’s The High Republic: A Valiant Vow. Of these, Trials of nan Jedi is nan 1 astir worthy keeping an oculus on, arsenic it serves arsenic nan climax of nan full High Republic initiative. This caller will chronicle nan last conflict betwixt nan Jedi and nan Nihil and nan Nameless. Look for Trials of nan Jedi to beryllium released connected June 17.

Not to beryllium outdone, Marvel Comics has rather an eager Star Wars lineup planned for 2025. In 2024, astir of Marvel’s ongoing Star Wars comics were exploring nan play betwixt The Empire Strikes Back and Return of nan Jedi. Now that those books person ended, Marvel is casting a wider nett and branching retired to aggregate Star Wars eras successful 2025.

Kicking things off, look for Marvel to wrap up the constricted bid Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku successful January. This bid has been engaged fleshing retired nan last awesome conflict betwixt nan dying Empire and nan New Republic 2 years aft Return of nan Jedi, and we’ll spot nan climax unfold successful writer Alex Segura and creator Jethro Morales and Leonard Kirk’s The Battle of Jakku: Last Stand.

From there, Marvel is veering successful 2 wildly different directions pinch its newest ongoing Star Wars comics. First, writer Marc Guggenheim and creator Madibek Musabekov are heading to nan Prequel era successful Star Wars: Jedi Knights. Set earlier nan events of The Phantom Menace, nan bid will travel galore members of nan Jedi Order, including Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Mace Windu, and Shaak Ti. The bid moreover focuses connected Count Dooku earlier his defection from nan Jedi Order.

Elsewhere, Marvel is venturing heavy into nan era of nan Sequel Trilogy for Charles Soule and Luke Ross’ Star Wars: Legacy of Vader. Set successful betwixt The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker, nan bid explores Kylo Ren’s struggle arsenic nan recently crowned Supreme Leader of nan First Order and his quest to recommit himself to nan Dark Side pursuing his battles pinch Rey and Luke Skywalker. Soule antecedently fleshed retired Ben Solo’s Dark Side origins successful 2020’s Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren, truthful see this a sequel of sorts.

We person to presume these aren’t nan only caller Star Wars comics Marvel will beryllium launching successful 2025, arsenic nan patient has tended to people 4 aliases 5 ongoing titles astatine immoderate fixed time. Will Doctor Aphra get different solo series? Will we spot different books fleshing retired nan blank canvas that is nan post-Return of nan Jedi era? Only clip will show connected that front.

The Future of Star Wars Games

If 2025 is shaping up to beryllium a comparatively quiet twelvemonth connected nan movie and TV front, it’s not looking immoderate amended successful position of video crippled releases. In fact, location are nary Star Wars games confirmed for merchandise successful 2024.

About each fans person to look guardant to astatine nan infinitesimal is caller DLC for Star Wars Outlaws. According to Ubisoft’s DLC roadmap, fans tin expect a caller communicative run called “A Pirate’s Fortune” to merchandise successful Spring 2025. This run focuses connected fan-favorite pirate villain (or possibly he’s much of an anti-hero) Hondo Ohnaka arsenic he bumps into Kay Vess.

Ubisoft has yet to uncover what, if any, caller Outlaws contented is planned beyond “A Pirate’s Fortune.” Are location moreover much adventures planned for Kay and her motley crew, aliases do nan lukewarm income numbers spell punishment for Outlaws’ ongoing future? We’ll person to hold for early announcements to study more.

Beyond that, each we tin do is dream that 2025 brings pinch it news astir different upcoming Star Wars games. We cognize EA is processing a 3rd crippled successful nan Star Wars Jedi series. But pinch location being 4 years betwixt nan merchandise of 2019’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and 2023’s Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, it’s astir apt excessively overmuch to dream nan caller crippled will really merchandise successful 2025. At best, we mightiness spot early footage of nan crippled and get a amended thought of erstwhile successful nan Star Wars timeline it takes place.

We’re besides crossing our fingers for news connected nan oft-delayed remake of Star Wars: Knights of nan Old Republic. Saber Interactive CEO Matthew Karch confirmed successful 2024 that the crippled is still successful progressive development, contempt rumors to nan contrary. But what authorities is nan crippled successful correct now, and erstwhile will we spot footage of nan remake successful action? Hopefully, 2025 brings pinch it immoderate bully news connected nan KOTOR front.

And let’s not hide Quantic Dream’s Star Wars: Eclipse, different title that was announced and past seemingly vanished disconnected nan look of nan Earth. Will 2025 beryllium nan twelvemonth Eclipse yet rears its caput again, aliases will it spell nan measurement of truthful galore different canceled Star Wars projects?

What About nan Star Wars Movies?

2025 won’t present immoderate caller Star Wars theatrical releases, which astatine this constituent is thing new. On nan theatrical side, nan franchise has been dormant since nan merchandise of The Rise of Skywalker backmost successful 2019. But that’s not to opportunity Lucasfilm hasn’t announced plentifulness of caller Star Wars movies successful caller years. It’s worthy looking astatine what’s presently successful nan pipeline and really apt we are to get an pembaruan successful 2025.

The Mandalorian & Grogu

First, there’s nan lone Star Wars movie that’s really successful accumulation correct now, The Mandalorian & Grogu. This big-screen spinoff of The Mandalorian continues nan shared communicative of nan 2 heroes aft nan events of The Mandalorian: Season 3. Co-creator Jon Favreau is directing nan film, which is presently slated for merchandise connected May 22, 2026. With immoderate luck, we should spot a teaser trailer for nan movie astatine immoderate constituent successful 2025, perchance arsenic early arsenic Star Wars Celebration Japan.

Dave Filoni’s Mando-Verse Movie

Not to beryllium outdone, Favreau’s partner Dave Filoni is directing his ain live-action movie, 1 expected to necktie together characters and threads from The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, The Book of Boba Fett, and different projects from that era. Don’t expect overmuch news connected this movie successful nan foreseeable future, however, arsenic Filoni has to attraction connected Ahsoka: Season 2 first.

James Mangold’s Star Wars Movie

Logan head James Mangold is helming a movie group successful nan distant past of nan Star Wars universe, revealing nan origins of nan Jedi Order and reportedly featuring a “Biblical” scope. Lucasfilm whitethorn denote a writer for nan movie successful 2025, but don’t expect much updates than that.

Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's New Jedi Order Movie

Daisy Ridley is reprising nan domiciled of Rey Skywalker successful a caller movie group 15 years aft nan events of The Rise of Skywalker. Ms. Marvel’s Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is directing. Hopefully, we’ll spot immoderate updates astir nan movie successful 2025, but it’s unclear wherever successful nan pipeline it presently falls.

Simon Kinberg’s Star Wars Trilogy

X-Men shaper Simon Kinberg has been tapped to oversee a caller trilogy of Star Wars movies. Despite early rumors nan trilogy will straight proceed nan Skywalker Saga, IGN was capable to corroborate it’s alternatively meant to attraction connected a caller storyline. It’s still early days connected this project, truthful we’re not expecting to perceive overmuch astir Kinberg’s trilogy successful 2025.

Taika Waititi’s Star Wars Movie

Thor: Ragnarok’s Taika Waititi is apparently still group to task into nan Star Wars universe, though it’s been years since we’ve gotten immoderate substantive updates connected this mysterious project. Will that yet alteration successful 2025?

And that’s what you tin expect from nan Star Wars franchise successful 2025. It’s a comparatively quiet year, but location are still immoderate very cool projects for fans to look guardant to successful nan caller year. What Star Wars communicative are you astir excited to acquisition successful 2025? Let america cognize by voting successful our canvass and posting down successful nan comments.
