Medyo chill lang ang 2025 para sa Star Wars kumpara sa mga nakaraang taon—walang bagong movies na ipapalabas sa sinehan ngayong taon. Pero kahit wala sa big screen, may mga exciting projects pa rin sa Disney+ at iba pang platforms.
Isa sa mga pinaka-highlight ay ang Andor Season 2, na nakatakdang i-premiere sa April 22, 2025. Siyempre, balik si Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) kasama sina Luthen (Stellan Skarsgard), Bix (Adria Arjona), at Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly). Tuloy ang kwento nila papunta sa mga events ng "Rogue One", so kung fan ka nun, abangan mo 'to.
Isa pa sa mga inaabangan ay ang Star Wars: Visions Volume 3. Balik anime vibes ulit ‘to with nine short films na gawa ng iba't ibang Japanese animation studios. Wala pa yung exact date ng release, pero malamang ila-launch siya malapit sa Star Wars Celebration sa Japan sa April—bagay na bagay kasi Japan yung host.
