George Lucas’ gift to sci-fi fans, the ‘Star Wars‘ universe, is expanding every passing year. Last year, 2023, was a decent year for ‘Star Wars‘ fans as they got the second season of ‘Bad Batch’ animated series, ‘Mandalorian‘ season 3, and at the end of the year, ‘Ahsoka’.
These shows received mixed reviews from the community, however, they are kept in high regard. At the Star Wars Celebration 2023 in Europe, creators revealed some spicy upcoming projects that fans eagerly await in 2024.

‘The Acolyte’ (4 June, 2024)
The Acolyte is the new live-action TV series that will explore the time 100 years before the events of The Phantom Menace. Disney has been exploring this section of the Star Wars universe in the novels and comics recently. But now fans will get to see the live-action adaptation soon.
This was the time when the New Republic was at the height of its power. It will showcase the dawn of the Dark side of the Force and somewhat Jedi’s first interaction. ‘Star Wars: The Acolyte‘ creator Leslye Headland claimed that the action in the series will be very different from what fans have seen in previous Star Wars media.
She also revealed that the bad guys in the show will actually make sense and there will be logical reasoning for them being on the dark side. It will be interesting to see a Star Wars Jedi show outside the Skywalker Saga.
The show will feature Squid Game actor Lee Jung-Jae as the Jedi Master, Logan’s Dafne Keen, Amandla Stenberg, and many more.
‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’ (TBC 2024)
‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’ is another live-action Star Wars TV show that will hit Disney+ in 2024. The show was supposed to air in November 2023, however, due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, it was delayed and pushed to 2024. The show will tell the tale of 4 stranded kids in the Galaxy after a discovery made on their home planet.
MCU’s ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ and ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ director Jon Watts is the creative head of this show along with Christopher D Ford. It is rumored to be similar to Steven Spielberg’s ‘The Goonies‘.
In addition to that, Skeleton Crew will take place in the same timeline as ‘Ahsoka’, ‘The Mandalorian’, and ‘The Book Of Boba Fett’. With fine actors like Judas Law, Jaleel White, and Kerry Condon, it will deliver good non-Jedi action to Star Wars fans.
‘Tales Of The Jedi’ Season 2 (4 May, 2024)
‘The Tales Of The Jedi‘ is an animated series with quite short episodes around 15-16 mins and revolves around the life of Jedis. Season 1 explored the life of one of the favorite Jedis, Ahsoka Tano, and Count Dooku’s corruption to the dark side.
However, Season 2, dubbed ‘Tales of The Empire‘, will focus on the Jedi Knight who turned to the dark side, Barriss Offee, and one of the Nightsisters Morgan Elsbeth. The show will have only 6 episodes and all will drop on Star Wars Day, i.e., May Fourth.
