Rogue One writer Tony Gilroy will be overseeing production on Andor but, as revealed by Alan Tudyk, the much-loved and highly cynical K-2SO will not be appearing alongside Diego Luna in Andor season 1, though the droid could pop up in subsequent runs. Additionally, Genevieve O’Reilly will be reprising her role as Mon Mothma, having portrayed the Rebel leader previously in Revenge of the Sith, Rogue One and Star Wars Rebels. Like Obi-Wan Kenobi's solo venture, the Cassian Andor show went quiet for a time, but production has now officially commenced under the title of Andor (spot the recurring theme). Disney has slapped a 2022 release date on the Andor series, and unveiled an impressive supporting cast featuring Stellan Skarsgard, Adria Arjona, Fiona Shaw, Denise Gough, and Kyle Soller.

Obi-Wan Kenobiĭiego Luna made his Star Wars debut in 2016's Rogue One portraying Cassian Andor, the charismatic Rebel spy, and a spin-off TV series centered around his espionage exploits was first announced in 2018 - one of the earliest Star Wars projects confirmed for Disney+. Whatever adventures the pair get up to next will be revealed in The Book of Boba Fett, which is set in the same timeline as The Mandalorian and scheduled to be released on Disney+ in December 2021. The famed bounty hunter joined Din Djarin in his rescue of Grogu from the nefarious Moff Gideon, before he and Ming-Na Wen's Fennec Shand went their own way, wiping out the remainder of Jabba's henchmen on Tatooine. Fett's reintorduction into Star Wars canon, thanks to The Mandalorian season 2, confirmed that he had somehow survived his trip into the Sarlacc Pit from Return of the Jedi. In the post-credits scene from The Mandalorian season 2's finale, the logo and title for a brand new Boba Fett spinoff, aptly titled The Book of Boba Fett, were revealed.

While the originally planned Boba Fett movie from Simon Kinberg and Josh Trank (before James Mangold took over) that was announced back in 2013 ultimately failed to materialize, The Mandalorian reintroduced the galaxy's most famous bounty hunter and set up his long-gestating stand-alone debut. Here's what Disney+ has in store for the galaxy far, far away. Some of the forthcoming projects have been in the pipeline for years, while others came as unexpected surprises, but as 2021 reaches its midpoint, the future of Star Wars is rapidly coming into view. Unsurprisingly, Disney has sought to capitalize on The Mandalorian's success with even more TV content set within the Star Wars universe, but few could've predicted the sheer scale of the studio's plans for Lucasfilm. Related: Rise Of Skywalker Has The Perfect Setup For 6 Star Wars Spinoff Movies The adventures of Din Djarin and Baby Yoda (Grogu to his friends) have earned widespread acclaim and gifted Disney+ a bona fide original hit right off the bat. More recently, Star Wars broke new ground with its debut live-action TV series, The Mandalorian, which effectively propped up Disney+ during those early months post-launch. After purchasing Lucasfilm in 2012, the Mouse House has overseen the divisive Star Wars sequel trilogy, and explored other areas of the timeline via spin-off movies Rogue One and Solo.
Many of the projects following in The Mandalorian's wake were announced at Disney's 2020 investor's event, and despite big news from the MCU and Pixar camps, that day undoubtedly belonged to Star Wars. They've proved proof positive that streaming content can complement (rather than contradict) big screen output, and that's very fortunate indeed, because Mickey Mouse and his deep pockets are a long way from finished. Shows like The Mandalorian, WandaVision, and Lokihave all scored big the platform, becoming flagship content.
Perhaps inevitably, those fears have been allayed in emphatic fashion. In the wake of the release of Star Wars: Visions, here are all of the upcoming Star Wars TV shows announced by Disney so far. When Disney+ launched in late 2019 and promised the biggest franchises with the biggest stars, there was an air of skepticism as to how well the likes of Star Wars and the MCU could translate to the small screen.
