That Kevin Feige Star Wars Movie Isn’t Happening

Even though Feige is one of the most successful producers in Hollywood history, and one of the most important executives under Disney’s vast corporate umbrella, that wasn’t enough to get his “Star Wars” film off the ground. This all dates back to 2019 when he actually pitched the folks at Lucasfilm (although, in true Feige fashion, he was tight-lipped about it). “I love that world and I love the notion of exploring new people and new places in that universe. But that’s sort of all that can be said for now,” he teased at the time.

This now joins an ever-growing list of “Star Wars” movies that entered development during the Disney era of Lucasfilm only to be abandoned somewhere along the way. David Benioff and D.B. Weiss (“Game of Thrones”) were developing a trilogy that went by the wayside, “The Last Jedi” director Rian Johnson’s trilogy appears to be going nowhere six years after it was announced, and we recently learned that Guillermo del Toro developed a Jabba the Hutt movie that didn’t go anywhere. Those are but a few examples, of which there are many.

While we haven’t had a “Star Wars” movie in theaters since “The Rise of Skywalker” in 2019, Lucasfilm currently has several in development, including a Jedi origin movie from James Mangold (“Logan”), a new Jedi Order movie that will focus on Rey, and a movie from Dave Filoni that will take place during the “Mandalorian” era. Disney has three release dates locked down for the franchise, with two films due to arrive in 2026 and another in 2027. As for which movies will actually go the distance? It’s anyone’s guess at this point.

The next “Star Wars” movie is currently dated for May 22, 2026.
