The release of “The Rise of Skywalker” last December ended the nine-film series about the Skywalker clan. It also led Disney to, Iger said, “take a bit of a hiatus in terms of theatrical releases.” The company believed it had over-saturated the market for “Star Wars” sequels and spinoffs — “The Rise of Skywalker” was the lowest grossing of the three most recent installments and 2018’s “Solo” lost money.
“The priority in the next few years is television,” Iger told investors.
Iger went on to confirm that the Obi-Wan Kenobi series starring Ewan McGregor and Rogue One prequel series with Diego Luna are both still in development. "And then we have a prequel to Rogue One and an Obi-Wan series also in development," Iger said. "So the priority for Star Wars in the short term is going to be television for Disney+ and then we’ll have more to say about the development of theatrical soon after that."
