Additionally, there is potential for further expansion of the timeline, with room for new stories leading up to the events of 'The Force Awakens.' The success of upcoming releases will likely influence the pace and direction of future projects within the MandoVerse. Fans can also look forward to the 'Star Wars: Starfighter' movie, set to release in 2027, which will explore new narratives beyond the MandoVerse.
