The untitled fifth “Indiana Jones” arrives in theaters next summer, June 30, 2023, and Harrison Ford has vowed it’s his very last time playing the character.  So that’s it for the franchise, right? Not so, says Lucasfilm and Disney, who are developing an Indiana Jones series for Disney+.

Shawn Levy To Direct A ‘Star Wars’ Film After His Work On ‘Deadpool 3’ & ‘Stranger Things’

Remember recently, when we talked about how the “Star Wars” film franchise (putting aside the TV world, for now) is in a bit of a confusing flux? There’s a release date scheduled in 2025, but what film would occupy that space? Could it be the upcoming project from Taika Waititi? Maybe the just-announced film from writer Damon Lindelof and director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy.

‘The Acolyte’: Full Cast & Synopsis Revealed As Production Begins On New ‘Star Wars’ Series

While we await the end of “Andor” and the continuation of “The Mandalorian” saga, the folks over at Lucasfilm have another new series on the horizon, which aims to be the “Star Wars” series most disconnected from the Skywalker Saga, titled “The Acolyte.” And with production now underway, Lucasfilm is willing to share some details about the new series.

Earlier today, it was announced that Damon Lindelof and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy are teaming up to work on a new “Star Wars” film. This just adds to the general confusion surrounding the franchise, at least on the film side of things, as we have yet to get a firm announcement about which “Star Wars” feature will arrive in 2025 (if any).

Back in 2019, it was announced by the folks in charge at Disney that the “Star Wars” franchise would take a break on the film side of things after the release of ‘Rise of Skywalker.’ But even then, you have to assume the executives didn’t imagine we’d be waiting at least until 2025 for a new film in the galaxy far, far away.

Luthen Rael, played by Stellan Skarsgård, has a terrific opening line in the third episode of the “Star Wars” spin-off prequel series “Andor.” “Cassian Andor,” he says with a dramatic pause, “the Empire is choking us so slowly, we’re starting not to notice. What I’m asking is this, wouldn’t you rather give it all to something real?” Rael’s talking about two things.

Despite that online halfwit insisting, “politics have no place in ‘Star Wars,’” or some nonsense about wokeness, I’m sorry to break it to you that George Lucas’ films have always been, in fact, political from the jump. It is an era where a totalitarian regime rules the galaxy with an iron fist wiping out all dissidents and agitators, after all.

It’s almost time for Lucasfilm to unveil its next series, “Andor” and today at D23 Expo today during the Lucasfilm Hall D23 presentation, Disney unveiled the thrilling and final trailer to the series, a prequel to “Rogue One.” Created by writer/director/producer Tony Gilroy who worked extensively on the reshoots to “Rogue One,” supervising the post-production edit as well, “Andor” looks at Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor character five years before the events of “Rogue One” when he was a thief and anything but a Rebel Alliance captain.

We are mere days away from the release of Lucasfilm’s latest foray into the galaxy far, far away, “Andor.” And as with every major franchise nowadays, the release of a new project just means there will be plenty of questions about what’s to come next. And boy howdy, Lucasfilm has a lot of “Star Wars” TV content on the horizon, including what might be the most mysterious (and thus, interesting) project, “The Acolyte.” But as we get closer to production, at least we’re getting more information about who might star in the cast of the outlier “Star Wars” series.

Tony Gilroy Says Disney’s Original ‘Andor’ Idea Was Similiar To ‘Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid’ With K-2S0

It only takes watching the first teaser for “Andor” to know that the latest “Star Wars” series is very, very different than the other Disney+ releases from the galaxy far, far away. It appears the series is aimed at a much older, more mature audience than shows like “The Mandalorian” and “The Book of Boba Fett.” And the best way to explain the stark contrast between “Andor” and everything “Star Wars”-related that preceded it is to note that Tony Gilroy is the mastermind behind the scenes.  And in a new interview with Variety, Tony Gilroy explained the initial idea for “Andor” that he was shown by Disney and why that idea wasn’t going to work for him, which led the filmmaker to pitch a much more “radical” idea to the Lucasfilm executives.  READ MORE: Tony Gilroy Says The Final 3 Episodes Of ‘Andor’ Season 2 Take Place 5 Days Before ‘Rogue One’ Starts “It was in the vein of Cassian and K-2 are like Butch and Sundance, and they’re gonna storm the Citadel,” Gilroy said about the original pitch.

Four long years after it was initially announced, “Andor,” the Disney+ series and prequel to “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” is nearly upon us. Created and showrun by Academy Award-nominated writer/director Tony Gilroy (“Michael Clayton,” “The Bourne Legacy”)—the filmmaker credited with rescuing ‘Rogue One’ after he came on board to write and direct major reshoots and then overseeing the post-production process— the series debuts in September, but we’ve been fortunate to get a little taste.

And it’s because Boyega is a fine actor and is one of the best parts of the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy, that fans were shocked and saddened to see his role as Finn keep diminishing with each new film.

Especially, when you consider the two leads, Daisy Ridley and John Boyega, have gotten to the point where they are shying away from continuing the franchise route of their career.

Despite a fandom that has shown to be toxic at the mention of diversity and inclusivity, “Star Wars” has always had a political undercurrent throughout the franchise. I mean, it’s really about Rebels fighting against an evil Empire, huh? Remember those overt political in the prequels? Sure, there are laser sword fights and space battles for those who just want that, but “Star Wars” has a long track record of trying to be a socially-conscious, political franchise.

Well before “Obi-Wan Kenobi” became the series it is today and debuted on Disney+, the original idea at Lucasfilm was to tell the story in a feature film. For years, the “Obi-Wan Kenobi” feature film was in development, but nothing ever came to be, largely because “Solo: A Star Wars Story” derailed the idea of having a bunch of spinoff films.

‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ Review: Perhaps It’s Too Big A Burden For The Jedi Master To Be Our Only Hope

“Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope,” is obviously a quintessential line in the “Star Wars” canon and one that echoes out in so many ways in the new Lucasfilm limited series, “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” For those troubled, disturbed even, by the post-Disney acquisition era force, er, direction of “Star Wars” these last few years— the disjointed Skywalker Saga sequels, the hit and miss efforts on Disney+, including the dreadfully dull “Book Of Boba Fett”— hope springs eternal for ‘Obi-Wan’ and by proxy, the future of “Star Wars.” But as this fascinating, occasionally thrilling, and yet sometimes deeply frustrating series quickly proves—at least in the two episodes available on Disney+ so far—perhaps resting all our hopes on one character is too big a burden for the aging Jedi Master.
