Rangers of the New Republic
Another one set within The Mandalorian timeline, Disney says this live-action series from Jon Favreau and Filoni “will intersect with future stories and culminate into a climactic story event.”
The Acolyte
Russian Doll creator Leslye Headland helms a new series that Disney describes as, “a mystery-thriller that will take the audience into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark side powers in the final days of the High Republic era.” This is an era 200 years before the events of the main Star Wars saga where the Jedi were at the height of their powers.

The Bad Batch
Fans of The Clone Wars animated series will remember the group of elite experimental clones known as The Bad Batch. As Disney describes this new animated series will follow The Bad Batch “as they find their way in a rapidly changing galaxy in the immediate aftermath of the Clone War. Members of Bad Batch — a unique squad of clones who vary genetically from their brothers in the Clone Army — each possess a singular exceptional skill which makes them extraordinarily effective soldiers and a formidable crew. In the post-Clone War era, they will take on daring mercenary missions as they struggle to stay afloat and find new purpose.”

This one sounds really fun. Debuting in 2021, Star Wars: Visions is a series of animated short films from Japanese anime studios.
A Droid Story
Oh it wouldn’t be Disney if there weren’t a cute new droid that could be merchandized. This series, which Lucasfilm describes as an “intersection of animation and visual effects” follows a new hero guided by R2-D2 and C-3PO.
