Disney and Lucasfilm had penciled in the a new Star Wars film for release in theaters on December 18, 2026, a little over two years from now. But now, according to multiple media reports, that is not happening. Instead, Disney will be releasing a new Ice Age animated feature on that date. (Disney acquired Ice Age in their purchase of 20th Century Fox.)
Although Lucasfilm has released a steady stream of TV projects to Disney+ since 2019, it is now five years and counting since the last Star Wars feature film came to theaters. In that time a whole slew of projects have been announced or rumored and come to nothing, including a Rogue Squadron movie directed by Patty Jenkins, a mystery project from Marvel's Kevin Feige, and entire trilogies of movies from Rian Johnson and Game of Thrones' Benioff and Weiss.
