A new trilogy of Star Wars movies is currently in development, as reported by Deadline. The news states that Lucasfilm has already secured a producer for the project, which was initially believed to be part of The Skywalker Saga. However, other sources have refuted this claim, suggesting that the trilogy will actually kick off a new saga separate from Episodes 1 through 9.
The co-editor-in-chief of Deadline mentioned that this new trilogy could potentially be episodes 10-12 of The Skywalker Saga that originated with George Lucas’s groundbreaking 1977 film. Despite this, insiders have contradicted this information, stating that the upcoming trilogy will pave the way for a fresh storyline rather than continuing the existing saga. This new narrative is expected to coexist with other Star Wars projects currently in the works, involving filmmakers like James Mangold, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Taika Waititi, and Donald Glover.
Although Lucasfilm’s plans for the trilogy are still in the early stages of development, it is said to mark the beginning of a new Star Wars saga that will complement the studio’s extensive lineup of projects. Simon Kinberg, known for his work on X-Men movies and Star Wars Rebels, will be taking the reins as the producer for these new Star Wars films in collaboration with Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy. While specific details about the timeline for the trilogy have not been disclosed, it is evident that the franchise is entering a fresh chapter after the recent sequels and TV series.
In addition to the new trilogy, there are various other Star Wars projects in the pipeline, including a spin-off focusing on Daisy Ridley’s character Rey as she rebuilds the Jedi Order post-Episode 9. The absence of a central saga to tie everything together has created a sense of uncertainty within the franchise, making this upcoming trilogy a pivotal point in shaping the future of Star Wars storytelling. As fans eagerly await further updates on this exciting development, it is clear that Lucasfilm is gearing up to expand the galaxy far, far away with a new saga that will captivate audiences for years to come.
