Rumor: Lucasfilm Planning Post-ROTJ Animated Series

Posted by Eric on

Slashfilm's Germain Lussier has a Star Wars TV scoop: Lucasfilm is planning to launch an animated series set during the sequel trilogy time period in 2017 or 2018.



Lucasfilm's plan, according to Lussier, is to end Star Wars Rebels after its third or fourth season, around the time of Episode VIII's release. This would mean "at least one, possibly two movies of world building in which to set up a new story and set of characters" for the new series.
