![]() ![]() The move was made to offer maximum freedom to the filmmakers involved in the Sequel Trilogy ( Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and Rise of Skywalker), but it didn’t take long for “Legends” characters and ideas to seep back into programs like Star Wars Rebels and The Mandalorian. When Disney first bought Lucasfilm, they declared all previous Star Wars comics, novels, games, and cartoons (except for the long-running Star Wars: The Clone Wars) as non-canon “legends” of the Star Wars galaxy. They also hope the expansion of Star Wars content means there will be room for Jedi Knight protagonist Kyle Katarn (or occasional antagonist Mara Jade) to re-enter the canon.Īnd canonicity is a big deal for Star Wars. Of course, fans of Star Wars media already knew the fictional galaxy could fuel hundreds of films and shows. And though the schedule elongated and slowed as economic realities curbed Disney’s ambitions in 2022, there is still a fleet of new Star Wars movies and series flying our way. In addition to its Disney+ roster, the company also stated an intention to make at least three features by 2027. Lucasfilm stunned fans and investors in December 2020 with an ambitious plan to produce as many as 10 television series for Disney+ in the next decade. Now numbering the ongoing live-action series The Mandalorian and Andor, animated series Star Wars: The Bad Batch, the limited Obi-Wan Kenobi and the presumably limited The Book of Boba Fett - to say nothing of the extant feature films and animated series - these programs still represent the first footfalls into a larger world of Star Wars content on Disney+. The continued success of The Mandalorian is proof that while Disney is looking to slow down its Star Wars output, the galaxy far, far away is still in good shape. Updated: Star Wars Celebration 2023 news added While John Boyega has been public about being "done" with Star Wars, perhaps other cast members could show up, like Kelly Marie Tran as Rose or Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca.(Photo by ©Walt Disney Co./courtesy Everett Collection) The show could bring in Ackie as well as other actors from Rise of Skywalker. If the Lando show goes the Williams route, it would be the first post-sequel trilogy entry into the franchise (aside from the LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special). ![]() There could be appearances by Han, though Alden Ehrenreich has doused cold water on sequel talk in recent interviews. Or, if the show is a sequel to Solo, then it could follow Lando until he eventually builds Cloud City. ![]() ![]() That's especially exciting since it could include Lando's droid companion and navigator 元-37 (voiced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge). If a Lando series goes the Glover route, it could be a prequel - covering the time before Lando met Han Solo. Still, it's a terrific and tantalizing idea - even more so if Glover partnered with Simien as a producer. It seems rather unlikely that Glover would commit himself to a Lando show, no matter how iconic that character is and how well-received his performance in Solo was. Fans have been waiting for Atlanta season 3, the FX comedy he created, for over two years. Why? Glover is an actor, producer and musician (under the name Childish Gambino) who is highly, highly in demand. We're more inclined toward the possibility of Williams as the star. The Kessel Run Transmissions podcast claimed Donald Glover's involvement, but also revealed that another Lando idea is "floating around Lucasfilm," centering on older Lando (Williams) and his long-lost daughter Jannah (Naomi Ackie). Star Wars: Lando potential actorsĭisney did not reveal anything about the Lando series star during the Investor Day event. Then again, Disney Plus has several other Star Wars projects in the works that might go first, so we may not see Lando until 2023. That would put it on track to premiere after Andor and Star Wars: Ahsoka in late 2022. If Simien writes them fairly quickly, and casting is sorted out, the show could start filming in late 2021. Since this is being billed as a limited series, Lando may be fewer than six episodes, unlike the eight for a full season of The Mandalorian. While film and TV productions have gotten back to business, after being shut down for the coronavirus pandemic, things are still not "full speed ahead." The Lando series does not yet have a release date. Unlike other Disney Plus shows mentioned during Investor's Day, like Star Wars: Andor, we don't even have a target year for the show's debut.Īnd since Disney's talked about all things up to 2023, we're expecting the Lando movie to not appear in theaters or even Disney Plus Premier Access until 2024. Star Wars: Lando series release date speculation Here's everything we know so far about the Lando Star Wars series. As more news comes out, we'll update this page. ![]()
