The report said that “Disney is expected to unveil film plans at Star Wars Celebration, set for April in London.” As opposed to Marvel perhaps slowing down a bit, an industry insider suggested that Lucasfilm will actually ramp it up a bit – but that the company will still have to follow the same cost-saving discipline that Iger is instituting company-wide. But Star Wars has already been there, with Disney having slowed down their film production, so now the focus is on ramping that back up. The Hollywood Reporter recently ran an article about how Disney is re-thinking and evaluating their approach to Marvel and Star Wars, and as a result they are going to be slowing down their Marvel output (at least as far as the shows are concerned). Bob Iger said recently that Disney would be leaning into their established brands, and that will include an anticipated return to theaters for the Star Wars franchise.
