Earlier today, a conference call with Disney CEO Bob Iger took place during the 6th Annual Moffett-Nathanson Media and Communications Summit and he dropped a big Star Wars reveal.

While it's no secret that Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have been working on something (possibly an entire trilogy) in a Galaxy Far, Far Away, Iger confirmed that the December 16th, 2022 release date recently set aside for a Star Wars movie will indeed be the one they're writing and directing.

What's not clear at this stage is whether that kicks off a new trilogy (with the subsequent instalments coming in those previously announced 2024 and 2026 slots), or something standalone. 

It was also revealed that Disney and Lucasfilm are developing a third Star Wars series for Disney+ to join The Mandalorian and Cassian Andor's untitled spinoff. Whether that will be the long rumoured Obi-Wan Kenobi project obviously remains to be seen. There's no word on what's happening with Rian Johnson's Star Wars plans.

Are you excited to see how this one shapes up following the conclusion of the Skywalker Saga?

D&D are getting A LOT of scrutiny online about the last few episodes of GOT.

That being said, I'm interested to see what they can do in the SW universe.

@L0RDbuckethead - if they're using the old republic layout ... i think they'll have a lot to work with .... only thing is how they can mode on there own without source material ..... but we'll see

@knocturnalzen10 @LordCipher - I'm tempering my expectations for this one until we see some stuff from it.

@L0RDbuckethead - Just goes to show you should wait for an author to finish his series before you start adapting it.

@soberchimera - I think HBO paid GRRM a large sum of money to wait until the show finishes to release his next book.

i always say i'm not a huge SW fan but i love the vision of the U they have .... no GOT hasn't been the best story driven season 8 . but if these guys buckle down and really lock in with a old republic story theme this could be epic .... like Rogue one level story telling


unleash the real dangerous Sith's on the big screen

Glad it’s been confirmed then. Let’s see how they do when they are not adapting someone's work and instead come up with one of their own, that is what they should judged upon in a couple of years once the movie is out.
