New STAR WARS Movie Trilogy Reportedly on the Way, Could Be Skywalker Saga Continuation

As a seasoned gamer and Star Wars enthusiast with over three decades of immersion in this iconic franchise, I must admit that I find myself torn by this latest news. On one hand, I am excited about the prospect of more Star Wars content on the big screen, especially from a talented writer like Simon Kinberg who has demonstrated his ability to weave compelling narratives within the universe. However, as someone who was left somewhat unsatisfied by the conclusion of the Skywalker Saga, the idea of a new trilogy picking up where The Rise of Skywalker left off fills me with mixed emotions.


Although Star Wars is currently dominating on Disney+, it all started on the big screen and that’s where the galaxy far, far away is set to make a grand comeback. Lucasfilm has several new feature films lined up for release in cinemas over the next few years, and they’re even planning more. According to recent reports, Lucasfilm has secured a deal with Star Wars: Rebels co-creator Simon Kinberg to pen and produce a brand new movie trilogy. However, this upcoming trilogy might not be entirely fresh as it could potentially serve as the next three episodes of the Skywalker Saga.

According to Mike Fleming Jr. at Deadline, Lucasfilm has tapped Simon Kinberg for creating, scripting, and producing a new set of three Star Wars films. Given his past work on X-Men movies and his co-creation/writing for the critically acclaimed animated series Star Wars: Rebels, this isn’t unexpected news. What is intriguing, though, is that Fleming Jr. hints these upcoming Star Wars movies could be episodes 10-12 in the Skywalker Family Saga.

It appears as though the main storyline of Star Wars seemed to conclude with The Rise of Skywalker, but this ending didn’t sit well with many fans. This could be why Lucasfilm is considering a redo to make sure the ending is more satisfactory. The ongoing difficulties with Daisy Ridley’s standalone Rey movie, set after the death of Palpatine, might also stem from this need for a revised ending, or it might simply be that Disney values profits.

As a fellow gamer (and Star Wars enthusiast), let me share some news that’s been floating around: Hold off on forming solid opinions about another Skywalker movie trilogy for now. According to Fleming Jr., there’s some debate about the intel he received. The word is, instead of Kinberg writing a sequel to the existing saga, he’ll be crafting an entirely new, unrelated Star Wars trilogy. This fresh story will supposedly exist alongside the other upcoming Star Wars movies and shows that Lucasfilm has already announced. So, let’s keep our fingers crossed and wait for more updates!

Could it be possible that both parties are correct, even though it seems implausible? After all, contradictions don’t necessarily equate to errors. It appears Lucasfilm is pondering over another Star Wars: Skywalker Saga movie trilogy. However, this could only materialize if Kinberg manages to propose an idea that appeals to them. If not, Kinberg might be tasked with initiating a fresh project instead.

In other words, with no clear resolution yet, we can only stay patient as we watch unfold a tale that, regardless of its specifics, will transpire in ancient times.
