The wait is not over. In fact, it will be a little longer than originally anticipated.

Lucasfilm today confirmed the release of both “Star Wars: Episode IX” and the fifth “Indiana Jones” movie.

“Episode IX” will be released May 24, 2019, while the next “Indiana Jones” vehicle, which will reunite director Steven Spielberg and star Harrison Ford, will be released July 10, 2020.

According to reports, the date moves were necessary to accommodate the 2019 release dates for John Favreau’s live-action “The Lion King” (July 19) and the animate feature “Frozen 2” (Nov. 27).

The stand-alone Han Solo “Star Wars” anthology entry will be released as previously announced on May 25, 2018.
