Star Wars: a new trilogy in preparation
Since 2019 and The Rise of SkywalkerStar Wars adventures have primarily focused on the small screen via Disney+. Series like The Mandalorian, Andor AND Ahsoka it allowed us to explore new eras and characters. But the saga never left people’s mindsand Lucasfilm has regularly mentioned film projects. Three new films were announced at Star Wars Celebration 2023, each anchoring never-before-seen periods of the Star Wars universe, with emerging directors like Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and James Mangold at the helm.
However, second ExpirationLucasfilm would have other, even more ambitious plans: a complete trilogy, potentially consisting of episodes 10, 11 and 12. Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, would even call into question Simon Kinberg, creator of Star Wars Rebelsto supervise the project. While details remain unclear, some believe this new trilogy could integrate directly into the story of the Skywalker saga, while others believe it will take place in an entirely new corner of the galaxy.
A constantly evolving strategy
Lucasfilm and Disney’s strategy hasn’t always been without pitfalls. If the series The Mandalorian has largely rallied fans, other productions, particularly the new adventures of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi, have divided audiences. With many pending projectseven canceled (Kevin Feige’s film, the Benioff and Weiss trilogy), the cinematic future of Star Wars has appeared, in recent years, complex and sometimes uncertain.
However, the financial success of the franchise remains undeniable: the final trilogy, while controversial, grossed more than $4.3 billion. Faced with Disney’s recent difficulties at the box officerelaunching Star Wars in theaters is a priority. The brand is strong and Lucasfilm seems ready to work harder to offer fans new epic adventures, no doubt with the official announcement expected for the next Star Wars Celebration in 2025.
The stakes are high for Lucasfilm, which is trying to find the right balance between the expectations of longtime fans and the innovation needed to broaden its audience. After the mixed successes of some series, this new trilogy could mark a rebirth for the franchise and return it to its status as an essential blockbuster.
