There will be a Star Wars film each year. Starting with 2015's The Force Awakens, Disney's plan is to release a Star Wars film each year through 2020. Following Rogue One, the next film will be the continuation of the Skywalker saga in the as-yet-untitled Star Wars: Episode VIII. Star Wars: Episode VIII is currently slated for a December 15, 2017 release date. This will be the third straight Star Wars film to be released the weekend before the Christmas holiday.
