Star Wars: Episodic & Anthology Movies
Timeline (ABY/BBY) & Release Dates
Every announced and previously released Star Wars movie is listed here.
Along with the “Episodic” movies such as the Original Trilogy (IV, V, and VI), the Prequel Trilogy (I, II, and III), and the Sequel Trilogy (VII, VIII, and IX), Disney has labeled the stand-alone movies as the “Anthology Series”.
In addition to release date, you can sort by ABY/BBY year, title, writer, director, and series. Related notes have been made and you can use the search box to narrow results in real time.
The “Buy Now” and “Pre-Order” buttons link to the movie’s Amazon page for which we get a small percentage. It’s a great way to help support the site without paying anything extra.
