If you were wondering when Star Wars Episode IX was going to be released, then look no further!  The Star Wars Episode IX Official release date is May 24, 2019!  The news comes from an official release from StarWars.com.

The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm announced today two major upcoming release dates.

Star Wars: Episode IX is now set for release on May 24, 2019. Directed by Colin Trevorrow, the film will close out the third Star Wars trilogy.

In addition, the fifth chapter of the Indiana Jones series is now confirmed for a July 10, 2020 release. Both Steven Spielberg, director of every Indiana Jones film, and star Harrison Ford will return.

It looks like Lucasfilm is sticking with the May release dates going forward.  This is unfortunate as many people actually enjoyed the December time frame for Star Wars.  It allowed people to get more views in during the holiday break.
