<p>With <em>Rogue One</em> <a href="http://ift.tt/2noPe9Y">available to watch at home</a> and the <a href="http://ift.tt/2mZ6M8I">Han Solo movie currently in production</a>, there is much speculation about what the third standalone Star Wars spinoff might be. Now Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy has stated that it could be announced very soon.</p>

<p>Speaking to <a href="http://ift.tt/2oEKfjP" rel="nofollow">MTV</a> at this weekend&#8217;s Star Wars Celebration, Kennedy wouldn&#8217;t commit to a timeline, but did state that they were &#8221; to an announcement. &#8220;My hope would be sometime around the summer,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I never want to predict the creative process because it is its own thing, so we&#8217;re in the midst of those discussions right now.&#8221;</p>
<p>While it is unknown what the next spinoff might focus on, last year it was reported that <a href="http://ift.tt/2puvva5">the studio was close to announcing a Boba Fett movie in 2015</a>. <em>Fantastic Four</em> director Josh Trank was initially hired to helm the film, and a teaser was even intended to be screened at 2015&#8217;s Celebration. However, <a href="http://ift.tt/1GnQ0bN" rel="nofollow">Trank ultimately left the project</a> and no further announcements have been made since.</p>
<p>In the same MTV interview, Kennedy explained that the current storyline of the Star Wars Saga movies will wrap up after Episode IX, which is due in 2019. &#8220;There&#8217;s no question that this is set up as a trilogy and that three-act structure of the set-up, the conflict, and the resolution very much is what we have planned,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>The first teaser for the next Saga movie, <em>The Last Jedi</em>, was released at Celebration. <a href="http://ift.tt/2ouEqpd">You can watch it here</a>, or check out <a href="http://ift.tt/2pfvvuu">this trailer breakdown</a>. The movie hits theaters on December 15, 2017.</p>
