A new Star Wars trilogy is in the early development stages with Simon Kinberg writing and producing. The films will introduce new characters and a new storyline, separate from the Skywalker saga. This marks Lucasfilm's first movie since 2019's The Rise of Skywalker, which received mixed reviews. Alongside Kinberg, projects involving familiar characters are also evolving, including Daisy Ridley's Rey starting a new Jedi Order. Despite past projects being abandoned or delayed, excitement builds as the franchise continues on streaming and plans return to theaters.
