The second installment will explore the war between the Galactic Empire and New Republic forces.Directed by Filoni, the second picture will effectively interconnect stories told in "The Mandalorian," "The Book of Boba Fett," "Ahsoka," and other Disney+ series.Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, who worked on the "Miss Marvel" series, will direct the third film while Steven Knight, the showrunner of "Peaky Blinders," will write the screenplay instead of Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson.This third film, to be set 15 years after "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," will see actress Daisy Ridley take up the role once more of Rey, the protagonist of the sequel trilogy. In this adaptation, Rey will teach young force wielders while rebuilding the Jedi Order, which has been destroyed by the Empire.Lucasfilm has also confirmed a batch of new TV shows, such as the follow-up season for "Andor" and a side story detailing a group of children lost in space and hunted by the Empire. A separate story touching on an investigation carried out by a Jedi Master and his Padawan is also expected.The latest installation will also include the August release of "Ahsoka," which will tell the story of Anakin Skywalker's apprentice, Ahsoka Tano, who will hunt for Grand Admiral Thrawn, with whose help she will have to find the young Jedi Ezra Bridger. The show promises an appearance of Hayden Christensen as Anakin.
