What is the next Star Wars movie?

Earlier this week, a report from Variety revealed that two potential, long-in-development Star Wars movies are no longer in the works at Lucasfilm — Patty Jenkins’ Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, and an untitled movie produced by Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige. According to the report, neither project is currently in active development at the studio. Other Star Wars movies are still in the works, including one directed and co-written by Thor: Love and Thunder‘s Taika Waititi, and one directed by Ms. Marvel‘s Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and written by Watchmen‘s Damon Lindelof and Counterpart‘s Justin Britt-Gibson. Reports from last month indicated that the studio’s film plans could be unveiled at April’s Star Wars Celebration Europe convention.
