Lucasfilm is developing a new 'Star Wars' trilogy with Simon Kinberg, known for his work on 'X-Men' and 'Star Wars Rebels', as writer and producer. This trilogy will explore new storylines and characters, distinct from the Skywalker saga, marking a creative shift in the franchise. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy will co-produce, promising a fresh narrative in the 'Star Wars' universe. The trilogy is in early development with no set release date, though it's part of a broader expansion of 'Star Wars' projects, including films by James Mangold and Taika Waititi. Fans have mixed reactions to Kinberg's involvement, reflecting his varied track record, but his experience in the 'Star Wars' realm brings hope for a revitalized saga. The new trilogy represents a significant development for the franchise, aiming to continue its cinematic legacy beyond recent TV series focuses.
