2022 is set to be the biggest year in Star Wars History for content since pretty much
2015 when the Force Awakens released or even all the way back to 2005 when Revenge of the
Sith Released.
We have new content coming in almost every single media category including Live action
tv shows, animated tv shows, games, comics and books.
Within that is 48 episodes of Disney+ tv content, meaning we’ll have only about 4 weeks of
this year without a Star Wars TV show airing, unless things get pushed into 2023.
So, lets break down everything confirmed to be coming out in 2022, including some of the
big rumors…
So remember to subscribe and lets get into it.
So the first show off the chopping block is of course the Book of Boba Fett which is currently
ongoing and will have 6 episodes in 2022.
The series is actually 7 episodes total, but they did their best to sneak that first episode
into last year.
I wont go too far into detail on this show since it’s currently airing right now, but
it will basically tell us the tale of how Boba Fett rose as the eminent crime lord from
the ashes of Jabba’s demise at the hands of Leia.
At the moment we’re getting about 80% flashback scenes and 20% of the present timeline, but
I expect that to quickly switch up as we move into episode 3 and beyond, where things will
start to get crazy.
You can expect to see appearances from the likes of Cad Bane for sure, probably Bossk,
Dengar, 4-Lom and Zuckuss, with a wild card of Qi’ra and crimson dawn.
Cad bane is pretty much a must because he’s literally the embodiment of a western cowboy
bounty hunter which is what this show has been so far, as well as his deep history with
Boba Fett.
As for Qi’ra and Crimson Dawn, personally I think we’ve already seen hints towards
that with the Pyke Syndicate showing up in ominous red masks rather than their usual,
and also something mysterious going on with the assassins.
But we’ll just have to wait and see on that!
Next up in the schedule is the Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi show, which is coming right
after the Book of Boba Fett.
Star Wars: Obi-Wan is a 6 episode series which was originally adapted from a movie format
and will be directed by Deborah Chow.
This gives me a lot of confidence going into the show as her episodes of the Mandalorian,
including Season 1 episode 3 were some of my absolute favourites!
We haven’t been given much information at all about this show because of how historic
and major it will be, but we do know for certain that Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor
are returning to play their iconic roles of Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
We don’t know how much of Hayden’s role will be as Anakin skywalker before the suit
in flashbacks, but hey I’m just happy he’s back.
We do know for certain thought that Obi-Wan and Anakin will be having a rematch of their
fight on Mustafar from Revenge of the Sith.
It’s not really clear if that fight will be in realspace or a physical encounter, or
something completely through visions or the force.
Now when this show could air, well it could actually be as early as late February to the
start of March.
Because we know that there are 48 episodes of Disney+ content scheduled for this year,
they really can’t take too many breaks, and they certainly can’t take marvel’s
schedule into account either.
So because of this, I think we’ll get a making of the book of boba fett special the
week after Boba Fett ends, which will be the 16th of February, and then the week after
that, which will be 23rd of February could be the air date of the Obi-Wan show.
NOw if that doesn’t happen, I could see a small few week break, which would put the
finale on May the 4th.
Perfect date for it!
After Kenobi, we don’t know which show is exactly next in the line except that its not
Andor.
So that either leaves us with Mandalorian Season 3 or the Bad Batch.
My money is definitely on the bad batch as the Mandalorian is always a late year show.
The bad batch will likey be 16 episodes again, just as the first season was and will probably
take us through the journey of Omega and Hunter finding a new purpose after the Clone Wars
are over.
Admiral Rampart will probably be back as the main antagonist of the show and we’ll certainly
get more connections with the other TV shows and Clone Wars.
Following that will be the Casian Andor show.
Lucasfilm have confirmed that the show will be releasing in the fourth fiscal quarter
of 2022, which puts it somewhere in the October region of the year.
This is one of the shows im really hyped for because I loved Rogue One and this will give
us some meaning to Casian’s line about doing terrible things for the Rebellion.
I think we’ll also get some nice appearances from Ahsoka Tano As Fulcrum depending and
probably even Imperial Agent Kallus as this is set in the same year as Star Wars Rebels
Season 1.
Either way i’m really excited for this show and I can’t wait to see how they display
the darker side of the Rebellion.
Now the last show of the year, if they don’t push it into 2023 will be the Mandalorian
Season 3.
If you’re watching this channel, I’m sure I don’t have to ask you how hyped you guys
are for this story to play out.
Din Djarin is the current holder of the Darksaber and there looks like there will be a huge
ploy to take back Mandalore… or whatever’s left of it from the clutches of the Imperial
remnant.
I think we’re barrelling straight towards a game of thrones style saga among the Mandalorians
and there will certainly be challengers to Din Djarin’s throne.
I also think Rook Kast from the Clone Wars Season 7 and Son of Dathomir is the armorer,
so check out my full theory video on that in the pinned comment down below!
Now moving onto the Books of 2022, we have quite a few awesome stories coming up covering
a wide span of eras.
The Major novel releases we have start with The High Republic: Midnight Horizon and Mission
to disaster.
We’ve then got Queen’s Hope by E.K Johnston covering more of Padme’s story, Stories
of Jedi and Sith which is a collection of short stories then a young adult novel named
Padawan, focusing on a young Obi-Wan and Qui Gon.
This one in particular should be really cool as we get to go back and explore much more
of the relationship between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in their much younger days.
We do already know quite a bit from this time, but it’s never a bad thing to add to it.
On top of that, we’ve got an awesome story about Obi-Wan and Anakin and their time on
Cato Neimoidia, called Brotherhood.
This one should really dive into their relationship as master and apprentice more than the comics
currently have, and will probably even tie into the Obi-Wan Kenobi show.
We might finally find out what that business on cato nemoidia was in Canon…
Although we do have an explanation for it already in legends.
And the final major book is Shadow of the Sith, which will follow Luke and Lando on
their Quest to hunt down the Assassin Ochi of Bestoon.
Not to mention, we also have the massive phase 2 of the High Republic Media project dropping
which will go back 150 years before the the phase of books.
I’ll cover much more of that on the channel for those of you who are interested.
Now moving onto the comics, we’ve got some very interesting series still on going.
We of course have the main Star Wars 2020 run, the Darth Vader 2020 run, as well as
Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, where Black Krrsantan is playing a large role.
Not to mention we have the bounty hunter focused storyline still on going with Star Wars: Bounty
Hunters following Beilert Valance, Crimson Reign following the story of Qi’ra in her
quest to destroy darth vader and sidious, and finally a mysterious line by Charles Soule
called the Hidden Empire, which is a direct follow up to crimson reign.
Although Crimson reign has been billed a tragedy for crimson dawn, the name Hidden Empire could
imply that Qi’ra keeps the dream of the Dawn alive, but is forced to hide underground.
This would also setup a big appearance for her in the book of boba fett.
Now after that we have a brand new series called the Halcyon Legacy which will be set
on Galaxy’s Edge’s starcruiser and set in the time of the High Republic.
Not much is known about this yet, but Burryaga Agaburry is on the cover so you can expect
him to be a huge part of it.
Moving onto the games we don’t have much confirmed just yet, but we do know the Lego
Skywalker Saga should be coming out in spring of this year…
And that is of course if it ever comes out at all…
Lets just say it hasn’t had the best time with release dates.
Other than that, there are heavy rumors that Jedi: Fallen Order 2 will be releasing in
the later end of this year.
I really hope this is the case as the Star Wars gaming scene has been pretty quiet for
a while now.
Cal Kestis really does deserve to have his story significantly expanded and he’s played
by the amazing Cameron Monaghan, so
WE’ve also got star wars hunters which is a mobile and nintendo game which looks pretty
cool, but nothing to really pull
in the masses.
And before we end off I just want to say that there are rumors of a 2022 movie being kept
under wraps until the last minute, which personally I don’t believe at all, but I’ll just
throw in here incase we are surprised.
Especially with the current Rogue Squadron delays, maybe they’ve pushed forward something
from the backlog…
So that is pretty much every single piece of major star wars media that is releasing
in 2022.
This will certainly be one of the best years for us star wars fans in quite a while, so
I can’t wait to see where it all goes.
Thanks so much for watching, really hope you enjoyed the video.
Cheers guys, hope to see you in the next one!
