Lucasfilm has been busy, and these Star Wars Disney Plus show release dates prove it. On December 10, 2020, the franchise’s production company shared a long slate of upcoming series and features currently in development for the next couple of years. Let’s get into what we know about these releases so far.
The series announcements came by way of Lucasfilm president, Kathleen Kennedy, during Disney’s annual Investor Day event. 2020’s iteration didn’t only see the likes of Lucasfilm, though. Other Walt Disney heavyweights like Marvel made special announcements, and fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe would be happy to hear that an entire roster of Marvel shows was also revealed to be in development for 2021 (and 2022). It’s shaping up to be a good time to be a fan of galaxies (and multiverses!) far, far away.
