- ^ A feature film of the same name was released in theaters on August 15, 2008, serving as the official pilot episode and the introduction of the series before the television premiere on Cartoon Network on October 3.
The Ewoks and Droids Adventure Hour (1985–1987)
Nelvana, the animation studio that produced the animated segment of the Holiday Special, was hired to create two animated series which aired together on ABC: Droids (1985–1986) follows the adventures of C-3PO and R2-D2, and its sister series Ewoks (1985–1987) features Wicket and other members of the titular species, both set before the events of the original trilogy.[6][7]
The Clone Wars (2008–present)
George Lucas created his own animation company, Lucasfilm Animation, and used it to produce his first in-house Star Wars CGI-animated series. The Clone Wars (2008–2014) was introduced through a 2008 animated film of the same name.[9] The series is set between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith of the prequel trilogy.[10] It focuses mainly on the Jedi characters of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, as well as Anakin's Padawan apprentice Ahsoka Tano (an original character created by Lucas for the series), with other characters from the prequel trilogy in supporting roles. The series marked the beginning of Dave Filoni's involvement in Star Wars animation projects.
After Disney's acquisition of the Star Wars franchise, The Clone Wars was cancelled in 2014 before its intended final episodes were completed. The remaining unaired episodes were released on Netflix as "The Lost Missions". The chronological storyline order was released after the series had initially finished airing.[11] The film and series were included in the canon established in 2014.[12][13] An additional final season will be released in February 2020 on the Disney+ streaming service.[14]
Star Wars Rebels (2014–2018)
In 2014, Disney XD began airing Star Wars Rebels, the first CGI-animated series produced following the Disney acquisition. It follows a band of rebels as they fight the Galactic Empire in the years leading up to A New Hope.[10] It closed some of the arcs introduced in The Clone Wars.[15][16][17] Due to the film Rogue One being produced at the same time, the film and the series acknowledged each other.[18][19] The series also included a canonical version of Grand Admiral Thrawn from the Legends Thrawn trilogy.[20]
Star Wars Resistance (2018–present)
The animated series Star Wars Resistance debuted in late 2018, shifting the animation style towards anime-inspired cel-shading visuals, and focuses on a young Resistance pilot Kazuda Xiono before and during The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, leading up to The Rise of Skywalker.[21][22] Sequel trilogy characters such as Captain Phasma, General Hux, and Kylo Ren appear. The second and final season premiered on October 6, 2019.[5]

By November 2017, Disney and Lucasfilm were developing a Star Wars live-action series specifically for release on its new streaming service Disney+, which it planned to launch before the end of 2019.[45] In February 2018, Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that there were several Star Wars live-action series in development for the service.[46]
The Mandalorian (2019–present)
The series takes place "after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order" and follows "a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic."[47]
In March 2018, Jon Favreau was hired to write and produce a live-action Star Wars series for Disney's upcoming streaming service.[48] The series is set a few years after the events of Return of the Jedi and will feature new characters using similar motion capture as Favreau's live-action film The Jungle Book.[40][49] In August 2018, it was reported that the series would cost about "$100 million for 10 episodes."[50] With the start of production in October 2018, Favreau announced that the series would be titled The Mandalorian.[51] In November, it was announced that Pedro Pascal would star as the titular character,[52] with Gina Carano and Nick Nolte joining as co-stars.[53][54] The following month, Giancarlo Esposito, Emily Swallow, Carl Weathers, Omid Abtahi, and Werner Herzog were announced as having joined the cast.[55] The series is expected to premiere on November 12, 2019, with the launch of Disney+.[37] In July 2019, Favreau revealed that the series had been renewed for a second season, ahead of the series premiere, with Favreau already having written scripts for the second season and pre-production being underway.[40]
Untitled Cassian Andor series
The series follows Rebel spy Cassian Andor during the formative years of the Rebellion.[56]
In November 2018, a prequel series to the 2016 film Rogue One centered on Cassian Andor was confirmed to be in development, and described as a "rousing spy thriller". Diego Luna will reprise his role for the series.[56] Stephen Schiff was hired to serve as showrunner and executive producer of the series, which was developed by Jared Bush, who wrote a series bible and a draft of the pilot episode.[41] Tony Gilroy, who worked on the reshoots of Rogue One, will write the pilot and direct multiple episodes.[57] In April 2019, Alan Tudyk was confirmed to be reprising his role of K-2SO.[58] Filming is expected to start in October 2019.[59] The series is expected to debut within the second year of the streaming service.[37]

Lucasfilm produced two animated series in the 1980s. The first, Ewoks, focused on the furry creatures, while the other series, Droids, depicts the adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO before the original film. Further animated series began to be released in the 2000s, the first two of which focused on the Clone Wars. Two additional half-hour animated series were ordered, one of which, Star Wars Rebels, ties into the original trilogy, the other, Star Wars Resistance, to the sequel trilogy. All three live-action Star Wars series will be released on Disney+, with its first series, The Mandalorian will premiere on November 12, 2019.
Additionally, following the conclusion of the first two trilogies in 2005, Lucas continued developing spin-offs in the form of various television series. The only project to be developed and released under his leadership was an animated TV series in late 2008. A theatrical feature, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which was a compilation of episodes, was released "almost [as] an afterthought"[67][68] and was poorly received both critically and financially.[67][68] The plot introduces the idea that Anakin trained an apprentice between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith and additionally explains Padawan Ahsoka Tano's absence from the latter film. While the character was initially criticized, she had become a fan favorite by the end of the series.[69][70]
Animation
Nelvana, the animation studio that had animated the animated segment of the Holiday Special was hired to create two animated series. Droids (1985–1986), which aired for one season on ABC, follows the adventures of C-3PO and R2-D2 before the events of A New Hope.[71][72][73] Its sister series Ewoks (1985–1987) features the Ewoks before Return of the Jedi and the Ewok movies.[71][73]
After the release of Attack of the Clones, Cartoon Network produced and aired the micro-series Clone Wars from 2003 to weeks before the 2005 release of Revenge of the Sith, as the series featured events set between those films.[28][29] It won the Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Animated Program in 2004 and 2005.[75][76]
Lucas decided to invest in creating his own animation company, Lucasfilm Animation, and used it to create his first in-house Star Wars CGI-animated series. The Clone Wars (2008–2014) was introduced through a 2008 animated film of the same name.[9] Though originally dubbed "T ("Television")-Canon", both were accepted to the highest level of canonicity in 2014; all series released afterwards would also be canon.[77][13] In 2014, Disney XD began airing Star Wars Rebels, the first CGI-animated series produced in the new era. Set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, it follows a band of rebels as they fight the Galactic Empire and helped close some of the arcs in The Clone Wars.[78][79][80][81]
The animated micro-series Star Wars Forces of Destiny debuted in 2017, focusing on the female characters of the franchise.[82] The animated series Star Wars Resistance debuted in late 2018, is anime-inspired, and focuses on a young Resistance pilot shortly before The Force Awakens.[83]
An animated comedy series titled Star Wars Detours was in production with 39 episodes completed as of late 2013,[84] but its release was postponed following Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm.[85]
Live-action
When Lucasfilm was sold to Disney, this reportedly included 50 written scripts for a proposed live-action television series with the working title Star Wars: Underworld.[86] The series was to be set between the prequel and original trilogies and focus on the criminal and political power struggles as the Empire took over the galaxy.[87][86] As of late 2018, no news has come of that project, but Disney has announced multiple live-action Star Wars series for their upcoming direct-to-consumer streaming service, Disney+.[88]
Visual effects studio Industrial Light & Magic, a subsidiary of Lucasfilm, opened a new division in November 2018 targeted for streaming and episodic television called ILM TV.[89] Based in London with support from the company's locations in San Francisco, Vancouver, and Singapore, it is expected that the new division will work extensively on any current and future live-action Star Wars television series, starting with The Mandalorian.[89]
- The Mandalorian: It was announced in March 2018 that Jon Favreau, who previously voiced characters in The Clone Wars and Solo, will serve as creator, writer, showrunner, and chief executive producer on one of multiple television shows in development for Disney+.[90] The Mandalorian, starring Pedro Pascal as a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy and takes place five years after Return of the Jedi.[91][92][93] Production on the first season, which includes 10 episodes, began in October 2018 with a budget of $100 million.[94]
- Untitled Cassian Andor series: In November 2018, Lucasfilm announced that development on a live-action Cassian Andor "spy thriller" series for Disney+ had also begun. Diego Luna will reprise his role from Rogue One, and production is planned to begin in 2019 with Stephen Schiff as the showrunner.[95][96]
- Untitled Obi-Wan Kenobi series: It was reported in August 2019 that Ewan McGregor will reprise his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in an upcoming television series on Disney+.[97] On August 23, 2019, at the D23 Expo, Lucasfilm officially announced the as-yet untitled Obi-Wan Kenobi series for Disney+, with McGregor confirmed to return as Kenobi. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy stated that the show's scripts had been completed and that shooting would begin in 2020.[98][99][100] It is set eight years after the events of Revenge of the Sith, and 11 years before the Battle of Yavin in A New Hope.[101] Initially announced in August 2017 as a feature film, written and directed by Stephen Daldry, the project was delayed following the lower-than-expected box office returns from Solo: A Star Wars Story.[102][103] Deborah Chow and Hossein Amini were announced in September 2019 as director and writer of the series, respectively, and will also serve as executive producers with McGregor.[104]
TV films and specials
The franchise has three television spin-off films, including a 1978 holiday TV special, and two live-action TV films created in the mid-1980s featuring the Ewoks from Return of the Jedi. Though all three were originally considered semi-canonical to the franchise, they were discarded from the film canon after Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm.[77]
Film | Release date | Director(s) | Screenwriter(s) | Story by | Network |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
The Star Wars Holiday Special | November 17, 1978 | Steve Binder | Pat Proft, Leonard Ripps, Bruce Vilanch, Rod Warren and Mitzie Welch | CBS | |
The Ewok Adventure | November 25, 1984 | John Korty | Bob Carrau | George Lucas | ABC |
Ewoks: The Battle for Endor | November 24, 1985 | Ken and Jim Wheats |
A two-hour Holiday Special focusing on Chewbacca's family was produced for CBS in 1978. Along with the stars of the original film, celebrity guest stars appear in plot-related skits and musical numbers. The special has been widely met with extremely negative reception; Lucas himself loathed it, forbidding it to be reaired or released on home video.[105] An 11-minute animated sequence features the first appearance of bounty hunter Boba Fett.
The Ewoks were featured in two spin-off television films, The Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. They were based on stories by Lucas, aired on ABC on the Thanksgiving weekends of 1984 and 1985, respectively, and had international theatrical releases. Warwick Davis reprised his debut role as the main Ewok, Wicket, in a story by Lucas and a screenplay by Bob Carrau. Wicket helps two children rescue their parents from a giant creature.[106][107] In the sequel, the Ewoks protect their village from invaders, while one of the children from the first film tries to escape.[71][106][108]

Abandoned projects
Underworld
In 2005, plans for a live-action television series set between the prequel and original trilogies were announced at Star Wars Celebration.[144] In 2007, Lucas described the project as "one show that will split into four shows, focusing on different characters."[145] It entered development in early 2009.[146] The series was described as "gritty and dark" and was expected to feature characters such as Han Solo, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian,[147] Boba Fett,[148] C-3PO, and Emperor Palpatine. Lucas described the series as "more talky. It's more of what I would call a soap opera with a bunch of personal dramas in it. It's not really based on action-adventure films from the '30s—it's actually more based on film noir movies from the '40s!"[149] Producer Rick McCallum revealed the working title, Star Wars: Underworld, in 2012,[150] and that it would focus on criminal and political power struggles in the "period when the Empire is trying to take things over."[151]
Over 100 42-minute episodes were planned,[145] with 50 scripts written.[86] These were mostly second drafts, but due to their complex content, were too expensive to produce.[146] Ronald D. Moore was one of the writers, and extensive artwork including character, costume, and set designs were developed at Skywalker Ranch under the close supervision of Lucas and McCallum.[152] The project was still being considered after Lucasfilm was sold to Disney, including by ABC,[152] with stories being reviewed as of December 2015.[153] According to Kathleen Kennedy,
That's an area we've spent a lot of time, reading through the material that he developed is something we very much would like to explore. ... So our attitude is, we don't want to throw any of that stuff away. It's gold. And it's something we're spending a lot of time looking at, pouring through, discussing, and we may very well develop those things further. We definitely want to.[144]
The plot of the anthology film Rogue One was originally pitched as an episode of the series.[154] The story of Han winning the Millennium Falcon from Lando was planned to be featured[147] and later developed as Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Star Wars Detours
Star Wars Detours is an unaired animated parody series from the creators of Robot Chicken, which was postponed in 2013 and ultimately unaired.[155] Production began in 2012 prior to the Disney acquisition,[156] with 39 episodes completed and 62 additional scripts finished.[157]
