The first new "Star Wars" in 10 years, "Star The Force Awakens," launched a franchise reboot in 2015, which will consist of six films through 2020.
Featuring a group of characters from the original trilogy alongside a new team of young Rebels, "The Force Awakens" is the first in a trilogy, taking place 30 years after the events of 1983's "Return of the Jedi."
The First Order has risen from the fallen Empire and the Resistance is fighting back.
In addition to that series, three standalone spin-off films make up a "Star Wars" anthology series. "Rogue One," the first, will hit theaters December 16, 2016. Two more films will round out the series, for now.
In honor of "Star Wars" day, here's what you can expect in the next four years:
"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," will be the first film in a "Star Wars" anthology series.
The standalone film takes place before the events of the 1977 original film and follows Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) and a group of Rebel fighters on a mission to steal plans for the Death Star.
The idea for the film stems from a line in the opening crawl of "A New Hope," which reads: "During the battle, rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star."
