Star Wars fans are on top of the world right now — it isn’t every year that the franchise delivers two new projects before Summer arrives. The first big Star Wars project to break the internet so far this year has been Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, the Darth Maul-focused animated spin-off that’s set to conclude with two more episodes next Monday. Fans need not fret, though; Disney has already renewed Shadow Lord for a second season, and while no potential release date has been announced, it’s not out of the question for the show to return as soon as next year. Star Wars fans will also venture to the theater to see their favorite franchise on the big screen for the first time since 2019 when The Mandalorian and Grogu arrives on May 22.
One of the more exciting Star Wars projects that’s been in development for years now is Star Wars: Galactic Racer, the upcoming arcade racing game set in the Galaxy’s Outer Rim after the fall of the Empire. The game will feature multiple pilots and classes of spacecraft, along with podracers, landspeeders, speeder bikes, and more. Not only will fans have the opportunity to line up in the blocks opposite their friends online to see who crosses the finish line first, but Star Wars: Galactic Racer will also feature an immersive single-player campaign with story-driven cutscenes. This afternoon, Fuse Games released a new trailer for Star Wars: Galactic Racer, confirming that the game will launch worldwide later this year on October 6. It will be available on several platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and even PC.
What Other Star Wars Projects Are in the Works Right Now?
Beyond the first season of Maul – Shadow Lord and The Mandalorian and Grogu lies Star Wars: Starfighter, the original new Star Wars film written by Jonathan Tropper and directed by Shawn Levy. Ryan Gosling will headline the new space epic along with Amy Adams, Aaron Pierre, Matt Smith, and Mia Goth, and it’s currently set for release in theaters on May 28, 2027. Lucasfilm is even developing a new Star Wars movie around Daisy Ridley’s Rey, which has been tentatively titled New Jedi Order, but updates about the project have been sparse for a while now.
