New Star Wars Trilogy Being Developed by X-Men’s Simon Kinberg

Exciting news has emerged from the Star Wars franchise, as a new trilogy is reportedly in the works under the direction of Simon Kinberg, known for his contributions to the X-Men franchise and Star Wars Rebels. However, clarity is lacking regarding whether this trilogy will continue the iconic Skywalker Saga or explore new narratives. Initial reports suggested it could act as Episodes 10-12, but later sources have indicated that it will introduce entirely new characters and stories, standing alongside previously announced Star Wars films. The upcoming cinema slate includes projects from notable directors like James Mangold and Taika Waititi, which further complicates the overall narrative approach of the franchise moving forward.

No, the new trilogy will not continue the Skywalker Saga. Instead, it is set to introduce new stories and characters, operating alongside other films like the New Jedi Order, which may feature returning characters from the Skywalker narrative.

The Star Wars franchise has evolved significantly in recent years, shifting focus toward television projects such as The Mandalorian and Andor, while film development appears to be ramping up. The combination of upcoming projects indicates an expansive universe that aims to diversify its storytelling beyond the Skywalker legacy, signaling a new era for Star Wars films.
