The question as to why there has n’t been any real Star Wars news as of belated can be answered with four simple words : “ Star Wars Celebration Chicago . ”
The conventionality runs from April 11 - 15 , and it ’s where fan will utterly be learning more about what ’s coming from the futurity of Star Wars . However , sincethe full schedule has been let out , we can originate guessing at what wo n’t be harbinger . Here ’s the equipment failure .
What We Won’t See
At past Celebrations , there has been a “ Future Filmmakers ” panel late in the event that revealed info on the movies coming , well , in the futurity . But see as how those board a)almost announced a Boba Fett moviedirected by Josh Trank , and b ) featuredPhil Lord and Chris Miller , this class no such panel exists . Plus , with word certainly occur on Episode IX , Disney would n’t want the focal point to be taken aside from that . Meaning , whatever Disney has project for Star Wars movies after Episode IX — be it theDavid Benioff and D.B. WeissorRian Johnsonmovies — will in all probability stay a secret for now .
In the description of the Star Wars Rebels control panel at Celebration , it very clearly tell “ Full disclosure — we are not declare a new serial in this control panel . ” That seems to be the prevailing attitude toward any coming or rumored television show . There will be no update on anything involving the whereabouts of Rebels characters , and despitepersistent rumorsofmultiple live - actionTV shows in exploitation , there ’s simply no panel where that could chance . The focus , as it should be , is on the one we ’re see first : The Mandalorian .
The one place we may get a splinter of news on future TV shows is a panel called “ In Conversation with Alan Tudyk , ” where it ’s possible he reveals whether or not K-2SO will come out in the Cassian Andor show .
Rumors aboutStar Wars video gamesare almost as rearing as the movie and telly projects , so fans always presume a pattern would be a proficient time to reveal something sword new . Celebration will have that , just in the form of Star Wars Jedi : Fallen order of magnitude . Like TV and movies before it , Celebration is choosing to focus on one big waiver in each category , and that ’s it .
