Disney will continue releasing “Star Wars” movies in full Force.
The media giant on Tuesday announced three new “Star Wars” films that will premiere in the years following this December’s “The Rise of Skywalker.”
The movies will come out the weekend before Christmas every two years beginning in 2022.
Disney did not reveal what the movies will center on, but did note in its announcement that “The Rise of Skywalker” will bring “the original Skywalker Saga to its conclusion.”
Each of the movies is currently untitled.
Disney has released four “Star Wars” films since acquiring the Lucasfilm studio in 2012. That includes 2015’s “The Force Awakens” and 2017’s “The Last Jedi,” which served as the first two installments to the latest “Star Wars” trilogy, as well as standalone movies “Rogue One” (2016) and “Solo” (2018).
“The Rise of Skywalker,” which hits theaters on Dec. 20, will be the third and final chapter in the current trilogy…
