It is produced by <a href="/wiki/Lucasfilm" title="Lucasfilm">Lucasfilm Ltd.</a> and distributed by <a href="/wiki/Walt_Disney_Studios_Motion_Pictures" title="Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures">Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures</a>.

Lucas had planned a sequel trilogy as early as 1976, but canceled it by 1981. He produced only the first six episodes, and for a time described these as comprising the complete story. The sequel trilogy concept was revived when <a href="/wiki/The_Walt_Disney_Company" title="The Walt Disney Company">the Walt Disney Company</a> entered negotiations to acquire Lucasfilm in 2011. Lucas produced new story treatments, but these were largely discarded. Both the acquisition and plans to produce the trilogy were announced in late 2012. The first installment, <a href="/wiki/The_Force_Awakens" class="mw-redirect" title="The Force Awakens">The Force Awakens</a>, was released on December 18, 2015, after a 10-year hiatus between the prequel and sequel trilogies.
