All the Details We Have on the Upcoming Star Wars Films

Although we're still recuperating from the epic, meme-worthy masterpiece that is The Last Jedi, there's about to be even more Star Wars. Walt Disney Studios recently announced that Game of Thrones creators D.B. Weiss and David Benioff will write and produce a new series of Star Wars movies.

Benioff and Weiss's installments won't be the only Star Wars films to hit the big screen. Fans will likely be set for the next decade (or decades) with original Star Wars content. If you recall, there will be an upcoming film about young Han Solo this Summer that stars Alden Ehrenreich, Emilia Clarke, and Donald Glover. We'll also be seeing another standalone Star Wars film (possibly about Boba Fett or Obi-Wan Kenobi), Episode IX, and Rian Johnson's separate trilogy in the near future.
