Star Wars: Simon Kingberg's Trilogy Confirmed
to Follow the Skywalker Saga
---------------------------------------------
Kathleen Kennedy, the head of Lucasfilm, revealed in a new interview
that Simon Kinberg's Star Wars trilogy would continue the narrative
after the Skywalker Saga. In November last year, reports stated that
the studio had brought in the Dark Phoenix filmmaker Kinberg to
write and direct a trilogy of movies set in the Star Wars Universe.

The Lucasfilm President shed light on the timeline of Simon
Kinberg's trilogy within the overall Star Wars franchise.

In an interview with Deadline, Kathleen Kennedy also confirmed that
Lucasfilm was "absolutely rolling fast and furiously" with these
projects. The executive continued, "That has gone exceptionally well,
and he's literally going to script as we speak. We'll see something
probably around June. "

Kennedy noted the work Kinberg previously did for Lucasfilm as
creator/executive producer/writer on Star Wars Rebels, which aired
on Disney XD between 2014 and 2018. She said that it was "a really
wonderful collaborative experience" and added, "And he then got very,
very busy with X-Men and then recently became available again, and
he segued into this space beautifully. We're really excited about
where that's headed."

When asked if these movies would be spin-offs or the core Star Wars
narrative split into trilogies, Kathleen Kennedy clarified, "This is
the next iteration, the new saga that moves us into the future."
Notably, Simon Kinberg also served as a creative consultant on Star
Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), the first feature in the sequel
trilogy.

The same outlet reported on Kinberg's Star Wars movies back in
November 2024. The article claimed at the time that these movies
would be Episodes 10 to 12 of the Skywalker Saga. However, it also
mentioned that the insiders had refuted this information and
speculated that it would be a whole different saga in the same vein
as James Mangold, Taika Waititi, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, and Donald
Glover's Star Wars projects.
