Disneyland will be closing some eateries and attractions to make room for its new "Star Wars" expansion._ by [James Hibberd / Entertainment Weekly](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## James Hibberd / Entertainment Weekly Dec 31, 2015 2:12 AM UTC  Daisy Ridley in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" Daisy Ridley in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens"David James—Lucasfilm by [James Hibberd / Entertainment Weekly](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## James Hibberd / Entertainment Weekly Dec 31, 2015 2:12 AM UTC You just saw _The Force Awakens_ and want more next-gen _Star Wars_. Well, you’re going to get more. A lot more. Regularly and steadily, for many years to come. But when, specifically, will each new title be released? Below is Disney’s not-quite-top-secret plan. Obviously, these dates are subject to change. Thankfully, no Bothans died to bring us this information … **1\.** **_Rogue One: A Star Wars Story_** Director: Gareth Edwards Written by: Gary Whitta and Chris Weitz Starring: Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Riz Ahmed, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Jiang Wen, Forest Whitaker, Mads Mikkelsen, and Alan Tudyk Logline: Following the foundation of the Galactic Empire, a wayward band of Rebel fighters comes together to carry out a desperate mission: to steal the plans for the Death Star before it can be used to enforce the Emperor’s rule. Release: Dec. 16, 2016 (So, yes, a long full year. But given we had to wait a decade for _The Force Awakens_ — or, depending on your feelings about the prequels, 32 years since _Return of the Jedi_ — sitting back for just one year doesn’t seem all that bad … Plus, it’s then only about five months until …) **2\.** **_Star Wars: Episode VIII_** Written and directed by Rian Johnson Starring: Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac (reportedly) Release: May 26, 2017 Logline: Unknown **3\.** **_Star Wars Anthology: Han Solo_** **(working title)** Directors: Phil Lord and Christopher Miller Written by: Lawrence and Jon Kasdan Starring: Not yet announced Logline: How young Han Solo became the smuggler, thief, and scoundrel whom Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi first encountered in the cantina at Mos Eisley. Release: May 25th, 2018 **4\.** **_Star Wars: Episode IX_** Director: Colin Trevorrow Writer: Rian Johnson Starring: Not yet announced Logline: Unknown Release: 2019 **5\.** **_Star Wars Anthology: Boba Fett_** Director: Not yet announced Writer: Not yet announced Starring: Not yet announced Logline: Unknown Release: 2020 ([reportedly](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/13/star-wars-anthology-young-han-solo/3)) So if all this goes according to plan, we’ll get five _Star Wars_ films in four years … after getting “only” seven _Star Wars_ films over 38 years. Not bad!
