Production
[edit]Development
[edit]Simon Kinberg closed a deal in November 2024 to write a new trilogy of Star Wars films and produce them with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy.[1] Kinberg previously co-created the animated series Star Wars Rebels (2014–2018) with Lucasfilm creative executive Carrie Beck and chief creative officer Dave Filoni, and his relationship with the pair was a factor in his hiring. He also consulted on the film Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015).[2] Mike Fleming Jr of Deadline Hollywood reported that the trilogy would comprise Episode X, XI, and XII of the main "Skywalker Saga" film series, which concluded with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker—also known as Episode IX—in 2019. Lucasfilm insiders disputed this claim and said Kinberg's trilogy would begin "a new saga" following new characters.[1][3] Despite this, journalist Jeff Sneider also believed the new trilogy would be positioned as Episode X, XI, and XII.[4] Daisy Ridley was reported to potentially be reprising her role as Rey from the Star Wars sequel trilogy, taking on the mentorship role held by Alec Guinness's Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mark Hamill's Luke Skywalker in previous films, and commentators questioned what this meant for a planned spin-off film from director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy that was set to feature Ridley in a similar role.[4][5] At the time Kinberg's deal was revealed, the films were in early development and it was unclear when production would begin.[3] Lucasfilm was surprised when the news broke due to the trilogy being "in deep development and not nearly ready to be made public".[2]
Future
[edit]When Kinberg's deal was revealed, he was expected to write and produce all three films in the trilogy.[1]
