It may be far, far in the future that fans get to see more of the galaxy far, far away on the big screen.

Since then, Lucasfilm, led by President Kathleen Kennedy, has released multiple movies–including the polarizing sequel trilogy–and a plethora of live-action and animated television shows on the Mouse House’s premium streaming service, Disney+. Now, 14 years on, Kennedy will step down from her post as one of The Walt Disney Company’s presidents, with Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan taking over the role as a joint partnership. Filoni will lead the creative side, while Brennan will head up the business division. It’s the most startling shift in Lucasfilm’s history under Disney, and Kennedy has outlined the current status of the beloved Star Wars franchise during her exit interview with Deadline.

In May 2027, Shawn Levy’s Star Wars: Starfighter, starring Ryan Gosling and Flynn Gray, will be released. Starfighter has been pitched as a true standalone, a movie unconstrained by the history and legacy of the saga. Levy’s movie is still canon, though, set just years after the conclusion of Star Wars: Episode IX–The Rise of Skywalker (2019). It will be the first foray into the post-First Order universe–a part of the timeline expected to be filled by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s untitled Rey Skywalker movie starring Daisy Ridley. Credit: Lucasfilm As announced by Kennedy herself almost three years ago at Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023, Obaid-Chinoy’s movie was set to occupy the New Jedi Order timeline, with Rey rebuilding the Order following Luke Skywalker’s (Mark Hamill) attempt. After many production delays, including a scrapped release date that was expected for the film, there is no word on when (or if) the “New Jedi Order” movie will see the light of day. Despite the lack of information from Disney or Lucasfilm, Daisy Ridley recently expressed to Parade that the film is moving forward and “will be worth the wait.” However, the future of that doesn’t look good. In Kennedy’s exit interview, neither the executive nor the interviewer, Deadline’s Editor-at-Large, Mike Fleming Jr., offered any comment on the long-gestating motion picture. But the pair did discuss the status of almost every other project announced or confirmed over the last decade. Credit: Lucasfilm No Star Wars Movies Confirmed After 2027 When asked about upcoming Star Wars movies, Kennedy provided an answer that revealed nothing is confirmed beyond Starfighter‘s release in 2027. “I’ve got to tread a bit carefully here,” Kennedy said, responding to Deadline’s question about the future of projects from Rian Johnson, James Mangold, Simon Kimberg, and Taika Waititi. “Jim Mangold and Beau Willimon wrote an incredible script, but it is definitely breaking the mold, and it’s on hold.” “Taika has turned in a script that I think is hilarious and great. It’s not just my decision, especially when I’ve got a foot out the door,” the Lucasfilm executive added. “Donald Glover has turned in a script. And as you have read, Steve Soderbergh and Adam Driver turned in a script written by Scott Burns. It was just great. Anything’s a possibility if somebody’s willing to take a risk.” Credit: Lucasfilm Dave Filoni’s Mando-Verse In a twist, recent shifts at Lucasfilm suggest the much-touted Mando-Verse crossover movie, that sprawling post-Return of the Jedi tapestry spun out of The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, The Book of Boba Fett, and more–is now quietly being shelved rather than expanded. With Kennedy’s exit and Dave Filoni stepping into the creative driver’s…

It’s been a few weeks since the Stranger Things Season 5 finale, but the conversation isn’t done yet. While an online petition demanding an extended cut of the fifth and final season from Netflix has achieved a huge number of signatures from disappointed fans, the viral “fake ending” theory (AKA “Conformity Gate”) seems to have died a death — and rightly so. The theory claimed the finale was fake and that a “secret episode” would premiere on Netflix on January 7 — but that didn’t happen. Fans then became convinced that the documentary One Last Adventure was a bait-and-switch – but when it landed on the streamer on January 12, it was as promised; a behind-the-scenes deep-dive of Season 5 and the series as a whole. Credit: Netflix “Conformity Gate” was also backed by mysterious “countdowns” shared by fans. Of course, these turned out to be completely made-up, leaving many to suspect that the whole thing was more of a hoax than a theory. However, there is an official Stranger Things clock that’s currently ticking down – it’s just been buried by all the theory content. But what’s it for? We all knew that Season 5 wasn’t going to be the end of the wider franchise. Stranger Things is a long established multimedia IP, so more content beyond the end of the flagship Netflix series was always inevitable. For starters, later this year, the 3D animated spinoff series Tales From ’85 will hit Netflix. But first, and much sooner, another new “chapter” will arrive. Credit: Netflix Related: ‘Stranger Things’ Confirms That Major Character Survived Season 5 Finale — Here’s How On January 27, Dead by Daylight x Stranger Things Chapter 2 will launch across all major video game platforms. It’s the second Stranger Things DLC following the initial one released in 2019, and sees the return of Eleven, Dustin, Steve, Robin, Eddie, and even Vecna himself. Perhaps one of the most exciting things about the game is the timer on the website. There might be no ominous chimes and ticks like the ones we get throughout Season 4 whenever Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) is about to make a kill, but watching the numbers crawl toward zeroes is still enough to make your hairs stand on end. Watch the trailer below: Dead by Daylight is an online one-versus-four game (or “asymmetrical multiplayer”), in which one player takes on the role of a Killer (in this instance, it’s the dark wizard Vecna, AKA Henry Creel/One) and the other four play as Survivors (Hawkins teens in this case). Credit: Netflix “Following the previous Stranger Things Chapter released in 2019, which featured The Demogorgon, Steve Harrington, and Nancy Wheeler, the world of the acclaimed Netflix series continued to expand,” the official synopsis for the game reads. It continues: “Character arcs developed and new threats were introduced, with the fourth season introducing the most formidable threat to date. Henry Creel. 001. Vecna. The First. He goes by many names, but his goal remains the same: to spread the corruption of the Upside Down and reshape humanity as he sees fit. Though the threat he poses is of a world-ending scale, the people of Hawkins will not stand idly by. Dustin and Eleven have been instrumental in preventing Vecna’s villainous scheme from coming to fruition, proving that heart, wit, and a fair bit of psychic power can turn the tides in the darkest hour.” “As the story of Stranger Things winds to a close, a dark new Chapter opens in The Fog. Standing at the center is Henry Creel, known in-game as The First…” For more information about the game and the new DLC, visit the official website.

Stranger Things Season 5 stars Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair), Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler), Noah Schnapp (Will Byers), Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), Winona Ryder (Joyce Byers), David Harbour (Jim Hopper), Joe Keery (Steve Harrington), Natalia Dyer (Nancy Wheeler), Maya Hawke (Robin Buckley),…
