The next Star Wars Celebration is almost here, and fans are wondering what announcements we can expect about the future of the franchise. The event will be held in Los Angeles from April 1st to 4th, continuing its tradition of happening every two years. However, this Celebration is anticipated to be special, as Lucasfilm is preparing to share details about upcoming Star Wars films.
A new Star Wars movie is arriving sooner than expected, with the story of The Mandalorian & Grogu leading the way back to cinemas. While this is great news, it’s still unclear which films will follow. Besides the already announced Star Wars: Starfighter for 2027, the future of the Star Wars franchise – whether for theaters or streaming – remains uncertain.
Get ready for Star Wars Celebration 2027! It’s the ultimate event for fans of the franchise George Lucas started nearly 50 years ago. Lucasfilm now uses the convention as a major opportunity to reveal what’s new in Star Wars movies, TV shows, comics, and video games.
Star Wars Celebration 2027 will likely follow the same format as previous events. However, it feels especially important right now, as the future of Star Wars is currently unfolding. Here are eight predictions for announcements Lucasfilm might make at the convention, covering everything across the entire Star Wars universe.
8. Home Release Of The 1977 Original Star Wars Movie
The biggest announcement Lucasfilm could make at the 2027 Star Wars Celebration would likely be the release of the original 1977 Star Wars film. Lucasfilm has already confirmed that the unedited theatrical cut of the movie will return to cinemas in February 2027 to celebrate its 50th anniversary. This version, without any of the changes George Lucas added in later Special Editions, will offer audiences a chance to see the very first Star Wars film as it was originally released, something it hasn’t been for many years.
If the re-release does well, as anticipated, Lucasfilm will likely explore releasing George Lucas’ original cut of Star Wars, something fans have wanted for years. Strong ticket sales could then pave the way for a home media release of that original cut.
Whether it’s on Blu-ray, 4K, or through Disney+, Lucasfilm’s home release of Star Wars – coinciding with the film’s 50th anniversary – would be a fantastic way to begin the 2027 Star Wars Celebration.
7. The Future Of The Mandalorian & The New Republic Timeline
With the upcoming release of The Mandalorian & Grogu in May 2026, the only other confirmed Star Wars project set in the New Republic timeline is season 2 of Ahsoka. While the New Republic era has been a major focus since The Mandalorian first premiered, the future of this storyline is now a bit unclear. Many fans anticipated season 4 of The Mandalorian would come out before the New Republic movie announced by Dave Filoni at Celebration 2023, which was intended to wrap up this particular series of stories.
We haven’t heard anything about Dave Filoni’s planned movie recently, and it seems like The Mandalorian & Grogu is now the main focus. This makes Star Wars Celebration 2027 a great chance to learn about the future of that story. Whether it’s a continuation of The Mandalorian & Grogu in theaters, a fourth season of The Mandalorian, a third season of Ahsoka, or something else entirely, Dave Filoni—now Lucasfilm’s Chief Creative Officer—should announce what’s next.
If The Mandalorian & Grogu is successful, we’ll probably see a sequel. This could also help move forward Dave Filoni’s planned movie, potentially continuing the story from the second season of Ahsoka. However, ultimately, Lucasfilm will officially announce the future direction of the New Republic storyline.
At the 2023 Star Wars Celebration, it was announced that a new movie focusing on Rey Skywalker is in development. Directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, the film will take place nearly 20 years after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and will feature Daisy Ridley reprising her role as Rey as she attempts to rebuild the Jedi Order in a new galactic era.
The movie has mainly been in the news due to changes in who’s writing the script. Originally, Steven Knight was set to write it, but George Nolfi took over in January 2025. There haven’t been many updates since then. With Star Wars Celebration 2027 happening over two years after Nolfi was brought on board, it seems Lucasfilm may finally have settled on a writer for the film.
If that happens, Lucasfilm might finally announce a release date and share a production schedule for the new movie about Rey and the Jedi Order.
5. A Final Trailer For Star Wars: Starfighter
Besides The Mandalorian & Grogu, Star Wars: Starfighter is the only other Star Wars movie currently planned. Filming finished in December 2025, and the movie is scheduled to come out in May 2027, just after Star Wars Celebration. Because of this schedule, we can expect to see a trailer for Star Wars: Starfighter before or during the Star Wars Celebration event next April.
Lucasfilm still has a month of promotion ahead of them, and I think Star Wars Celebration 2027 is the ideal place to really get fans excited. Imagine Ryan Gosling and director Shawn Levy taking the stage to unveil a final trailer for Star Wars: Starfighter – that could instantly make it one of the most talked-about movies of 2027. A big presence at the Celebration would be a fantastic move, and I’m already anticipating a huge reaction.
4. Updates On Various Star Wars Video Games
Star Wars Celebration 2027 isn’t just for the movies! Lucasfilm has been focusing on expanding Star Wars into video games, announcing several major titles recently. We’ve already seen releases like Star Wars: Outlaws in 2024, and Star Wars: Galactic Racer is scheduled to come out in 2026.
Star Wars Celebration 2027 could also offer a deep dive into several major projects. The most anticipated is likely the third game in the Star Wars: Jedi series. The first two games featured Cal Kestis, a popular character who survived Order 66, and fans have been speculating about whether he might appear in future Star Wars films or TV shows.
| Star Wars Video Game | Developer | Genre |
|---|---|---|
| Star Wars: Jedi 3 | Respawn Entertainment | Action-adventure |
| Star Wars: Eclipse | Quantic Dream | Decision-based action-adventure |
| Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic | Arcanaut Studios | Action RPG |
| Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake | Saber Interactive | RPG |
Although Star Wars: Jedi 3 and Star Wars: Eclipse have both been confirmed, details like release dates and storylines are still unknown. Lucasfilm has a great opportunity to share more information about these two projects at the Star Wars Celebration in 2027.
Recently, two new Star Wars games set during the Old Republic era have been revealed. The first is a remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, originally announced in 2021. While the game’s development has faced some challenges and changes, work on it is still continuing.
In December 2025, a new Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic project was announced. Both this and another unnamed project are at different stages of development, but both could be showcased at Star Wars Celebration 2027, highlighting Star Wars stories in a format fans have been requesting.
3. A New Star Wars Animated Series Announcement
After a surge of Star Wars content on TV between 2019 and 2025, the franchise’s presence has slowed down. This included several animated series, like the return of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and its spin-offs (Star Wars: The Bad Batch, Star Wars Tales, and Maul – Shadow Lord), as well as original series such as Star Wars: Visions and Young Jedi Adventures.
After 2026, the future of animated Star Wars projects looks uncertain. While Maul – Shadow Lord and Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi are scheduled for release that year, only a second season of Maul – Shadow Lord has been confirmed beyond that. This is surprising, considering the steady stream of animated Star Wars shows we’ve seen since Star Wars Rebels premiered in 2014.
Luckily, Star Wars Celebration 2027 is happening at just the right moment. It’s scheduled only a few months after the latest Star Wars animated series is expected to finish airing, and it’s the first major convention since Dave Filoni – a big supporter of animation – became the head of creative at Lucasfilm. Because of this timing, the celebration is an ideal opportunity to announce one or more new animated Star Wars shows.
2. A Slate For Upcoming Star Wars TV Shows
It’s frustrating for fans that the future of live-action Star Wars TV shows is currently uncertain, mirroring the situation with the animated series. While Ahsoka will return for a second season in 2026, Lucasfilm hasn’t announced any other live-action shows in development. Considering the number of series like Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Book of Boba Fett, and Skeleton Crew that have premiered recently, this lack of confirmed projects is quite unusual.
It’s still unclear what Lucasfilm has in store for future live-action Star Wars TV series, making Star Wars Celebration 2027 an ideal event to share those plans. They could highlight the previously announced New Republic shows like Boba Fett and Skeleton Crew, or announce entirely new series set at different points in the Star Wars universe.
1. Updates On Simon Kinberg’s Star Wars Trilogy
Okay, so if I had to make one final, and honestly most exciting, prediction for Star Wars Celebration 2027, it would be news about the new Star Wars trilogy Simon Kinberg is working on. We’ve been hearing whispers about it for ages, and Kathleen Kennedy even confirmed in her recent interview with Deadline – as she was leaving Lucasfilm – that it’s still happening! I’m really hoping we get some solid updates then.
During an interview in January 2026, Kennedy revealed that Simon Kinberg had submitted multiple script drafts that Lucasfilm was pleased with, though he was also working on another version that would be reviewed in March. Kennedy then added that Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan were both supportive of Kinberg’s work, which was intended to be the basis for a new trilogy.
Following Kathleen Kennedy’s exit, Brennan is now managing the business operations at Lucasfilm, collaborating closely with Chief Creative Officer Dave Filoni. Given their apparent support for what Dave Kinberg is developing, it’s highly likely that Star Wars Celebration 2027 will reveal more about the new trilogy. This announcement should come over a year after Kinberg submitted another draft of the story, suggesting we’ll finally get some concrete details.
Look, given Dave Filoni’s history with Simon Kinberg – they collaborated so well on Star Wars Rebels – I’m really starting to believe the rumors about Kinberg taking the reins on the next Star Wars trilogy. There’s been talk that this will be the continuation of the Skywalker saga, potentially Episodes X, XI, and XII, or something entirely new within the Star Wars universe. Either way, I’m putting my money on Celebration 2027 being the place where we finally get some official confirmation. It feels like the perfect stage for such a big announcement.
Lucasfilm is determined to revive the Star Wars franchise in theaters, and a previously unannounced trilogy appears to be the ideal way to do it. At Star Wars Celebration 2027, Kinberg’s trilogy could be revealed as the next major chapter in the beloved saga.
