Every Upcoming Disney Movie - Ranked

2. Star Wars Episode IX

Star Wars Episode IX
Lucasfilm

Release Date: December 20, 2019

It’s a strange time when Star Wars Episode IX isn’t the most anticipated movie in the world, let alone on Disney’s slate, but there is a sense of franchise fatigue after the divisiveness of The Last Jedi and the muted response to Solo.

Still, this is Star Wars. J.J. Abrams is back, even Carrie Fisher is returning, and it’s going to end not only the sequel trilogy, but the entire Skywalker saga.

It can’t just be a retread of Episode VI, and it’s going to be fascinating to see where Abrams takes things: regardless of your feelings on The Last Jedi, this one is certainly free to do whatever the f**k it likes now. And just think of the marketing campaign; if Abrams can nail that like he did The Force Awakens, everything should start falling into place.
