Star Wars: The Return of the Covenant is a 2027 American epic space opera adventure film directed by Matt Reeves and written by Reeves, Jon Favreau, and Dave Filoni. Produced by Lucasfilm and 6th & Idaho and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is the 15th film in the Star Wars franchise, the 27th installment overall, and the 11th mainline installment. The film stars Naomi Scott, Henry Cavill, Sadie Sink, Andrew Lincoln, Kurt Russell, Frank Oz, Samuel L. Jackson, and Paul Bettany as Kao Cen Darach. In the film, Satele Shan awakens from a centuries long slumber, alive, to find herself in the planet Tython, and discovers that most of the Jedi are gone, and the Sith have risen again as an army. Discovering that her archenemy Darth Malgus is also alive, Satele decides to recruit Jedi refugees to combat this threat. Star Wars: The Return of the Covenant premiered in London on November 19th, 2027, and opened in theaters on December 10th; the film grossed over $1.47 billion worldwide against a budget of $756 million, making it a major success at the box-office and the second-highest-grossing Star Wars film to date but also overtaking The Force Awakens as the most expensive film ever made by far. The film was praised by critics, fans and audiences who particularly lauded the emotional story, direction, visual effects, Hans Zimmer's musical score, screenplay, fan service, and the performances of Scott, Cavill, Oz, Jackson, and Bettany. Many found it to be a return to form for the main franchise. A sequel is in development, with Scott and many other cast members set to return.
