On the animation front, Clone Wars spinoff The Bad Batch will premiere on Disney+ in 2021, building off of Clone Wars' immense popularity. Filling in gaps isn't necessarily a bad thing; The Clone Wars improved the prequels' reputation, helping audiences gain a newfound appreciation for the movies.

The Rogue One prequel is billed as an espionage thriller that will put Cassian's dark past in the spotlight, but it will be another Star Wars project about the Rebels/Empire conflict, which was integral in four films and the Rebels TV show.
