In 2012, Disney made history and headlines when they announced their acquisition of Lucasfilm. For the small fee of $4.05 billion, George Lucas handed his company over to the biggest conglomerate in the world and Star Wars changed forever.

Plans were announced which would involve all of Lucasfilm’s respective properties, but with a particular focus on their most lucrative IP by far: Star Wars.

Disney would re-ignite the dormant franchise with a sequel trilogy and intermittent spin-off movies that would take us up to the release of Episode IX.

So what’s next for the Star Wars universe? Well, the main saga may be over, but Star Wars is not going away any time soon. Disney has already unveiled many projects over multiple mediums which are lined up for the foreseeable future.

Let’s take a look at all the ways you’ll be able to return to a galaxy far, far away.
