A Star Wars movie, planned as a live-action production, had a scheduled release date of December 18, 2026, but Disney later decided to remove it from their list of upcoming releases. The unveiling of this film occurred on June 13, 2023, following the commencement of the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, a period when Disney was reorganizing its slate of theatrical releases. During the Q3 Earnings Presentation for 2024 on August 7, Disney reaffirmed their intention to release The Mandalorian and Grogu and a separate, second film in 2026, alongside a third movie slated for 2027. However, on November 15, 2024, Disney updated their theatrical film release schedule, taking the untitled Star Wars project off the calendar and instead assigning its former release date to the upcoming animated feature, Ice Age 6.
