The announcement follows Favreau's recent appearance at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, where he shared the first 17 minutes of the film and reflected on how 'Star Wars' inspired his love of cinema.
Favreau directed the movie from a script written with Dave Filoni and Noah Kloor. Filoni, a longtime creative force within the franchise, now oversees Lucasfilm's creative direction following Kathleen Kennedy's departure.
