The Walt Disney Company secured the rights to the Star Wars franchise through its acquisition of George Lucas’s Lucasfilm in 2012. The company had said at the time that it expected to release a feature film in the franchise “every two or three years for the forseeable future.” The Disney era began with the sequel trilogy, comprising The Force Awakens (2015), The Last Jedi (2017), and The Rise of Skywalker (2019). Disney has also produced a number of other films and TV series based on the property, including the hugely successful Disney+ series The Mandalorian (2019–23 ).
