What We Predict Will Happen

Ewan McGregor has often voiced his desire to return to the Star Wars franchise and 2022 might be the year he finally achieves that, getting his own anthology film set between Revenge Of The Sith and A New Hope. Based around a secret mission it will be viewed as his greatest performance in the series, making up for the dud material he was given in the prequel trilogy.

With the animated adventures of Han, Luke and Leia going strong, expect a wave of nostalgia as a Yoda film is announced for 2023. But the big news is the announcement of a new 'prequel' trilogy set years before the first nine episodes. Focusing on the Knights Of The Old Republic, its theme would be the original rise of the Sith a thousand years before, with part one coming in 2024.
