n'>The final film in the new 'Star Wars' trilogy, 'Star Wars: Episode IX,' will be released in May 2019, movie studio Walt Disney Co said on Tuesday. The May 24 release date marked a shift in strategy for Disney, whose two previous new entries in the sci-fi adventure have all been set for release in mid-December, during the winter holidays. Disney gave no details on 'Star Wars: Episode IX,' about which little is known except that it will be directed by Colin Trevorrow. 'Episode IX' completes the trilogy that began after Disney bought George Lucas's Lucasfilm in a $4 billion deal in 2012. 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens,' which reunited the original cast of the first 1977 film, was released in December 2015, and 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' is due to open worldwide on Dec. 15, 2017. Disney on Tuesday also announced that another of its blockbuster franchise revivals, a new Indiana Jones movie starring Harrison Ford, had been pushed back by a year to July 2020. The studio gave no explanation for the change in the release date for the as-yet untitled film that had been originally scheduled for July 2019.
