New Star Wars Trilogy in the Works with Rebels Producer Simon Kinberg
Lucasfilm has announced a surprising new Star Wars trilogy, with Star Wars Rebels and X-Men producer Simon Kinberg on board as writer and producer. According to reports from Deadline, this fresh set of films could even become Episodes X, XI, and XII, potentially extending the Skywalker Saga, which supposedly ended with The Rise of Skywalker in 2019. However, insiders suggest the new trilogy may actually launch an entirely new saga, leaving fans guessing.
The project raises questions about Lucasfilm's direction, especially with the Daisy Ridley-led film, previously announced with director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and writer Steven Knight. Some speculate this earlier project might now serve as the start of Kinberg's trilogy.
Fan reactions are mixed, as Kinberg’s career includes divisive projects like X-Men: Dark Phoenix and the infamous Fantastic Four reboot. Yet, his successes like X-Men: First Class, Days of Future Past, and Star Wars Rebels—a fan-favorite series co-created with Dave Filoni—give some hope. The new trilogy adds to Lucasfilm’s already packed Star Wars slate, with upcoming projects from James Mangold, Taika Waititi, and Donald Glover. For now, Lucasfilm remains tight-lipped, leaving fans to wonder what this new direction might bring.
