Every Upcoming Star Wars Movie and Disney+ Series Through 2027
Disney is righting the Millennium Falcon and setting Star Wars back on course.
www.esquire.comHere’s a concise update on the latest Star Wars movies and the order to watch them.
Short answer
- The Star Wars film slate is ongoing with several projects in development and release windows announced in various sources through 2026–2027. For viewing order, you can follow two common approaches: release order or chronological order. Below I outline both and note how to keep up with upcoming titles.
Watching in release order
- The original trilogy: Episode IV: A New Hope (1977), Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (1983)
- The prequel trilogy: Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999), Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002), Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005)
- The sequel trilogy: Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015), Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (2017), Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
- Standalone films and later projects: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
- Streaming era additions (live-action series and related features are not films, but are often watched alongside): The Mandalorian (2019–2023), The Book of Boba Fett (2021–2022), Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022), Andor (2022–2025), Ahsoka (2023–2026), Skeleton Crew (2024–2025)
- Note: There are several announced and in-development feature films (for example Taika Waititi’s project and other new trilogies). Specific release dates have shifted over time, so check current official announcements for the latest dates.
Watching in chronological order
- Episode I: The Phantom Menace
- Episode II: Attack of the Clones
- Star Wars: The Clone Wars (animated film and series) and related spinoffs if you want to include animation
- Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
- Solo: A Star Wars Story (standalone film set between Episodes III and IV)
- Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (set just before Episode IV)
- Episode IV: A New Hope
- Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
- Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
- The sequel trilogy: Episode VII, VIII, IX
- Then spin-offs and newer speculative seasons or films released after the main saga
Latest developments (high-level)
- There are multiple projects publicly discussed, including new trilogies and stand-alone films, with varying release windows, but exact dates have frequently changed. For the most current status, consult official Lucasfilm announcements or major trade outlets.[3][4][7]
Would you like me to pull the most recent official announcements and assemble a precise, up-to-date watch order with confirmed dates and recommended viewing sequence (including the most recent films and Disney+ titles)? I can also tailor the list to your preferences (e.g., only live-action films, or include animated features).[4][6][3]
