Lucasfilm is adding an entire newfangled trilogy of movies toits more and more filled(for now ) slate ofStar Warsprojects — one that could carry on the legendary Skywalker Saga with the official Episodes 10 , 11 , and 12 .
Deadlinereports that Simon Kinberg — producer ofmany of theX - Menfilms , as well as , in the Galax urceolata far , far aside , Star Wars Rebelsalongside Carrie Beck and Dave Filoni — has been tapped to write the new trilogy , as well as produce alongside Kathleen Kennedy . The swop further reports that it has heard that this trilogy of cinema could be the official tenth , eleventh , and twelfth entries in the Skywalker Saga made up of the prequel , original , and sequel trilogies , but also notes that that approximation has been dispute by several insiders , instead citing that the trilogy will be a new , standalone series of moving picture .

The potential for this trilogy of films to have been a unequivocal sequel of the Skywalker Saga would ’ve been a wild decision — specially as one of those now - manyStar Warsfilms currently in evolution at Lucasfilm is meant to follow on fromThe raise of Skywalkeralready , in the variant of Sharmeen Obaid - Chinoy and Daisy Ridley ’s New Jedi Order film , with the latter reprising her theatrical role asJedi Master Rey Skywalker . Presumably it would bethatfilm ( if it ever befall ) that would pick up on the tarry story threads that remain from the continuation trilogy .
So either this new trilogy , if connected to the chief saga , could pose alongside standalone films within a standardised rate inStar Warscontinuity , or could potentially bring the timeline even further beyond the sequels to give space for other films to pluck up on their case . It couldstillbe Episodes 10 through 12 , and not necessarily deemed to be part of the Skywalker Saga , and justborrow the nomenclatureto be its own thing .
Or it could never get made solely ! Lucasfilm has drop the five years sinceThe ascent of Skywalkerannouncing a good deal of things that it then ends up not in reality make , soStar Warsfans have grow an implicit in mental rejection to any kind of film announcement at this point . projection in the body of work alongside this purport trilogy include thethree films previously announcedatStar WarsCelebration Europe in 2023 — the said Rey moving-picture show , James Mangold ’s “ Dawn of the Jedi ” picture , and Dave Filoni ’s “ Mandoverse ” team - up motion-picture show , wide believed to be a riff on the Hellenic Timothy Zahn novels in theHeir to the Empiretrilogy — as well asa Lando Calrissian movie , formerly announced as a TV serial , penned bySolo‘s Donald Glover alongside his buddy Stephen;Taika Waititi ’s long - in - gestation movie;and the only film we really know there’sbeen footage shooting for so far , Jon Favreau’sThe Mandalorian & Grogu , set to release in 2026 . Hell , the studio’sstillnot technically scrappedRian Johnson ’s trilogy , either !
But those films have also sat along a bowed stringed instrument of high - visibility announcements of projects that haveultimately been scrappedin the last five years too , include aRogue Squadronmoviefrom Patty Jenkins , a film in development from Marvel Studio ’s Kevin Feige , one fromGuillermo Del Toro , and more . Lucasfilm is in the thick ofcharting an uncertain futureforStar Warsboth on the self-aggrandizing cover and pocket-size in the wake of the sudden cancellation ofThe Acolyte — and announce more picture show is not going to convinceStar Warsfans they ’re actually going to happen any time soon … and at this percentage point , they probably wo n’t trust it until they ’re seated in the theater .
