It's been almost five years since a Star Wars movie was released in theaters, but things seem to be speeding up at Lucasfilm. Our colleagues at Deadline report that Simon Kindberg, known for producing several X-Men films, is working on a trilogy project. The latter could follow on from Episode IX and be available in the form of X, XI, XII.

A direct or independent sequel ?

He would be responsible for writing and producing these new feature films alongside Kathleen Kennedy, the boss of Lucasfilm. The idea of ​​seeing a new installment that would start right after The Rise of Skywalker is not unanimous, however. According to a source close to the production consulted by io9,This trilogy is only at the very beginning of its development. It could be a new Star Wars saga that moves away from Episode IX.

Especially since another feature film, The New Jedi Order, supposed to be released in May 2026, has already been teased as is. It will star Rey Skywalker (Daisy Ridley) and will be directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy.

It is in any case very difficult to sort through the multiple announcements of Star Wars feature film projects that have been made in recent years. Let us recall in particular that James Mangold is working on Dawn of the Jedi. Another initiative led by Dave Filoni is supposed to conclude the Mandoverse.

Donald Glover is working on a film dedicated to Lando Calrissian, and Taika Waititi regularly teases his project in the universe of the saga. Let's add to this already long list Rian Johnson, whose trilogy project has not been officially abandoned.

io9 also recalls that other tempting initiatives have been aborted, including the film Rogue Squadron by Patty Jenkins and those signed by Marvel boss Kevin Feige and the legend of the seventh art Guillermo Del Toro.

A new Star Wars series in December

As we will have understood, it is still difficult to see clearly how Star Wars will be released in the cinema soon. It's clearer on the series side, since Skeleton Crew will arrive on Disney+ on December 3. Here is the synopsis of this production proposed by Lucasfilm:

Skeleton Crew follows the journey of four children who, after a mysterious discovery on their seemingly peaceful planet, find themselves lost in an unknown and dangerous galaxy. While looking for a way to get home, they will cross paths with Jod Na Nawood.
