Star Wars has been absent from the big screen for almost four years now, with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) being the franchise’s last movie. Despite thriving on television with some Disney+ original series, such as The Mandalorian, most fans still want to experience the cinematic range of the intergalactic franchise. A recent poll posted by the Giant Freakin Robot Twitter account reveals that fans are more excited about the future of the Marvel Universe, the DC Universe, and even Star Trek as compared to Star Wars. But as the Star Wars Celebration is kicking off in a month, fans have been given a glimmer of hope about the possible film announcement that will be made at the gathering.
The upcoming event has released information about the panels that fans can attend during the festivities. Similarly to the previous Celebrations, the experience will not only provide an opportunity to reflect on the Star Wars highlights, but it will also feature what lies ahead for the franchise. Various reports have suggested that official announcements about upcoming Star Wars films will be made during the event, with Lucasfilm's Studio Showcase being the most likely event to confirm the future of the galaxy far, far away. The full details regarding the panels can be found on the official Star Wars Celebration website, but the highlights of some upcoming Star Wars projects are as follows:
