When it comes to a big franchise likeStar Wars, there is a certain amount of planning and collaboration needed in order to make sure everything fits into its place in the overarching story. That is something thatJon Favreaualready knows about from his time working onIron Manand other MCU projects, and something he has clearly carried into hisStar Warsrole. While discussing this atStar WarsCelebration, Favreau toldScreen Rantabout how much planning has gone into making sure that the current wave ofStar Warsprojects are released at the right time to enchanted the viewing experience for those who are following the saga. He said:
“We’re having a great time. And now, I think you’re getting a taste here of how much planning has gone into Star Wars. I could really speak to the time period that we’re working on, but if you look at what Kathy Kennedy has been doing, Dave Filoni has been very involved with all of it.
You see The Acolyte and you see Andor, and you see other films that are going to be coming. All of these things have to be coordinated, because you want to make sure that there’s a consistency across all of them. As far as within our time period, we have to time out how they go down. Not that you would need to watch each one, but you will have a better experience if you do. We’re making sure that for the people who are watching all of them, it’s additive, and it helps add greater insight to what’s happening in the Star Wars galaxy.”

For those wondering whereThe Mandalorianand spin-off shows are heading,Star WasCelebration saw the announcement of the ultimate destination for all of these projects. Dave Filoni will direct a big screen movie that will be the culmination of the story set in motion byThe Mandalorian, but also includes the upcoming series ofAhsoka. WithThe Mandalorian’s fourth season already written, it seems that the endgame of Din Djarin’s story is coming into view, but there is still plenty to tell before it arrives.
As for the future of theStar Warsfranchise, that is expanding once again in many directions, with new projects likeThe Acolytealready in production, and new eras set before and after theSkywalker Sagain development now. While there are some who believe theStar Warsfranchise, like other big franchises like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has run its course, as long as fans keep turning up and investing their time and money into it, there will always be new projects being put into development.
The biggest issue for theStar Warsfranchise is trying to please all of its fans, many of which have very specific ideas of what does and what doesn’t constitute aStar Warsproject. Many have attempted to add their own style intoStar Warsprojects in the past with varying results, only time will tell how this new batch of movies and TV shows will be received.
