Disney Confirms Third ‘STAR WARS’ Anthology Film

Disney CEO Bob Iger has confirmed another entry into the ‘Star Wars’ series of stand-alone “anthology” movies is set for release in 2020.

During the Goldman Sachs Communacopia Conference, and as reported by Deadline, Bob Iger said that a writer had been hired to work on the film. That would be the third in the series that begins with the release of ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ in December 2016, and followed by the untitled Han Solo film, due for release in May 2018. There are no details yet on the film.

More interesting to me was his other remarks regarding the franchise during the conference, Iger said that he had recently met with Luscasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy and “started talking about what we’re going to do in 2021 and beyond”. With episodes eight and nine of the main series due for release in 2017 and 2019 i’m excited to see it get the same attention as the MCU. Disney has figured out a formula and they are churning out great products.

The popular demand is for a Ewan McGregor lead Obi Wan Kenobi film that would take place during his time living on Tatooine. This year Marvel published various ‘Star Wars’ comics and the main comic showcased a story line where Obi Wan  was keeping an eye on Luke Skywalker and trying to keep him out of trouble from afar all while trying to adjust on Tattooine and dealing with Jaba the Hut’s gang.

What are your dream projects for the third ‘Star Wars’ anthology film?
