On The Hot Mic podcast (via Star Wars News Net), Jeff Sneider said that Lindelof’s untitled Star Wars film is currently eyeing a December 19, 2025 release date. Interestingly, the said release date is supposedly intended to be the release window for Taika Waititi’s mystery project which has long been announced.Sneider claims: “I do think it’s gonna happen. In fact, I think it actually has a release date! I’m like, ‘Wait, I have to keep track of what I’m allowed to say!’ [laughs] I think it’s gonna come out December [19] 2025… I’ve been saying that since I reported it. So I broke that story in March… About [Damon Lindelof], you know, followed it up this Summer saying that he’d been seen on the lot, doing that kind of stuff. I didn’t realize, what I had originally reported, it was unclear whether this guy was going to be writing the script or leading a writer’s room. I knew he was working on something up there, right? So it turns out he was leading a writer’s room… In the end, [Justin Britt-Gibson] is going to be co-writing with Damon, and yeah, they have the director from Ms. Marvel [Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy]. I think that’s an interesting package, I think that we’ll see it Christmas 2025.“He would later cast doubt on Taika’s project retaining its original playdate. “This is the date that [Taika Waititi] has right now. Taika’s Star Wars is December 19, 2025, but as I think fans may be able to read between the lines of what’s been reported… Yeah, I don’t know if he’s really there yet. So I think that Damon’s movie will inherit that date.“Also Read: Daisy Ridley Reportedly Inks New Star Wars Deal Amid News of Post-Sequel Trilogy FilmSay what you will about the sequel trilogy but it makes logical sense for the next film to be Lindelof’s project, especially considering it’s set post-The Rise of Skywalker. I mean, no disrespect to Taika but you can’t just have a random film serve as Star Wars’ big-screen comeback.All films from the Star Wars franchise are available to stream on Disney+.
