The ongoing Star Wars Celebration in London is sending fans into a galactic frenzy of excitement. Lucasfilm has confirmed that three new Star Wars films are currently in development.

Filoni has already made significant contributions to the live-action Star Wars universe as well, through his collaborations with John Favreau. Filoni is the executive producer, director, and writer on The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and the upcoming Disney+ series, Ahsoka. You can also catch his footprint on the animated series Star Wars: The Bad Batch, Tales of the Jedi and the upcoming Star Wars series, Skeleton Crew.
As if he doesn’t have enough on his plate, the Dave Filoni Star Wars movie will focus on the “escalating war between the Imperial remnant and the New Republic.” The film will reportedly serve as a bridge between storylines explored in the aforementioned Disney+ series, including The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka.
What’s more exciting is that the film is said to explore the rich lore of the Mandalorian universe and will be a cinematic event that wraps up those beloved stories.

I take pride in calling myself a self-proclaimed horror expert! It's a passion that took root when I was much younger. My journey into the genre began with Nickelodeon's 'Aaahh!!! Real Monsters,' mysteries like 'Are You Afraid of the Dark?' and the 'Goosebumps' novels, and TV show. Horror has undoubtedly become an inseparable essence of my life. Spanning from the 1930s Universal Monster films to the iconic slashers of the 80s, and the psychologically intense stories crafted by the likes of Ari Aster, with 'Hereditary' standing as my absolute favorite—and most terrifying for me to watch. Beyond my love for horror, I am just your average movie'nerd and bookworm who loves writing about subjects I find meaningful to me and to countless others. When I'm not penning articles, or have my nose in a book, or mystified by a film, you'll likely find me cuddled up with my two feline companions, sipping on a hot cup of coffee.
