Star Wars Celebration is in full swing at the movie (it runs from April 7th - 9th) and of the more exciting news it has been announced that three new movies for the Star Wars series are in production.

The movies are directed by James Mangold, Dave Filoni, and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, the last being of some interest as it will bring back the character of Rey from the sequel trilogy series played once again by Daisy Ridley.

The movie will cover the entire (fictional) history of the series with one showing how the Jedi came to be and learn to use the Force, one being set in the time-line of the TV show The Mandalorian which is after the events of Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi and finally Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy will direct a movie set 15 years after the end of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker showing how Rey rebuilt the Jedi Order.

There has been no mention so far of the Taika Waititi Star Wars Film, which is simply called Untitled Taika Waititi Star Wars Film on IMDB.com, so who knows if that is still going ahead.

This plan does seem to be a more positive one for a film series that has totally lost its way since Disney took it over, and Rogue One a Star Wars Story aside has not produced movie which compliment the rich history of the much loved movies.

The TV shows on the other hand have been popular with the previously mentioned The Mandalorian being the best so far.

Time will tell if these movies get made, but the movie path and directors of recent years for the Kathleen Kennedy helmed Lucasfilms has been sketchy to say the least!
