star wars is working on a new trilogy, and here are the most realistic possibilities of what it could deal with. Simon Kinberg (Star Wars Rebels, deadpool, The Martian) is working on a new trilogy for the star wars franchise. Little is known about it at this time; Frankly, sources seem to disagree on whether this is from episodes 10 to 12 or something entirely new. There have often been complaints that Lucasfilm announces things before they’re ready, but to be fair, this time the studio doesn’t seem to have planned for the news to be released yet.

These new reports come at a time when the future of star wars It’s getting pretty exciting again. Daisy Ridley has announced that her film “The New Jedi Order” is “evolving,“an ambiguous comment that has left many wondering if there will be news soon; there have been reports that James Mangold dawn of the jedi will begin production next year. More concrete information is likely to come at next year’s Star Wars Celebration. Until then, however, we can only speculate on the various star wars trilogies that could realistically be in the works… and here are the most likely possibilities.
5 Star Wars Episodes 10-12
A completely new story… but it should really star Rey.

Early reports suggested these upcoming star wars The movies would officially be episodes 10-12. This attracted a lot of attention as it also revealed star characters who had not been on the big screen before, and who would operate alongside Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s film King. It’s hard to imagine the Skywalker saga continuing without Rey in a starring role, especially since the star wars The sequel trilogy ended with her claiming the name “Skywalker” in honor of her mentors.
The mere mention of a new star wars The trilogy, of course, immediately makes viewers think of episodes 10 through 12. George Lucas’s original plans for episodes 10 through 12 are left behind; he planned them when he intended for Luke Skywalker to become the Emperor and for Luke’s sister to be a completely different character (which explains Luke and Leia’s now wince-worthy kiss). The empire strikes back). But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible for an original story to create a completely new story.

4 Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
There is only one idea that could leave fans delighted.
Near
bioware Knights of the Old Republic Games are the stuff of legend (literally, given star wars officially classifies them as Legends rather than canon). In 2023, Lucasfilm officially announced a new incarnation of the star wars timeline that clearly divided it into the following sections:
|
Was |
|---|
|
dawn of the jedi |
|
The old republic |
|
The High Republic |
|
Fall of the Jedi |
|
empire reign |
|
Rebellion era |
|
The New Republic |

Rise of the First Order |

What is telling, however, is that Lucasfilm did not announce a single project that will take place in the Knights of the Old Republic was. James Mangold is making a film that explores the dawn of the jedi, Star Wars: The High Republic is a transmedia initiative that explores that part of the timeline, and the future is already being explored in Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s film. However, in canon, The old republic It is empty. Naturally, that has led to intense speculation that Lucasfilm intends to explore the KOTOR was.

KOTOR

Here’s a simple truth: a faithful Darth Revan, star of KOTORIt’s an instant way to score massive points with a divided and divisive fanbase. Characters of KOTOR It’s already been alluded to in canon (Palpatine’s Sith Legions were named after Sith Lords of the past, including Darth Revan), so the potential is clearly there. Of all the ideas on this list, this one really seems the wisest.
3 The Future of the Jedi
Could Star Wars Get a Legends Tip?
Near
However, there’s another interesting possibility: one that Disney could also take advantage of in Legends. In 2006, Dark Horse Comics introduced readers Star Wars: Legacy – an exciting vision of the future of star wars galaxy, one rooted in George Lucas lore but beautifully reinvented. This was a time when the Sith emerged from the shadows and extinguished the light of the Jedi, with the last Skywalker, Cade, facing them. It was an exciting opportunity to reinvent familiar tropes and concepts.

Interestingly, this wasn’t the first time Lucasfilm toyed with revealing the future of the star wars galaxy. An original idea for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed focused on a distant future in which the Jedi and Sith had formed an uneasy truce and were governed by a single Council; There, the last Skywalker would be framed for a crime he did not commit, and all evidence would point to a member of the Council… with the last name Solo. as with LegacyThis was an idea that revisited the familiar and at the same time did something new.
It’s possible Lucasfilm could take the exact same approach with the new star wars trilogy. Instead of setting it in an established part of the timeline, it could introduce viewers to an entirely new era, one where the rules operated slightly differently. what he did Star Wars: Legacy A big success was the fact that it opened up so many opportunities for the story. Many star wars Tales from the Expanded Universe began to chart the course from the “present” to the Legacy It was, and it turned out to be a compelling story.

However, here’s the catch; Lucasfilm could not adapt Star Wars: Legacy. That was a logical extrapolation of the star wars Expanded Universe, but the canon has gone in a completely different direction. In Legends, for example, there was indeed a Skywalker dynasty, simply because Luke’s New Jedi Order didn’t follow the same rules as the prequels. On the contrary, Daisy Ridley herself has hinted that she expected Rey to follow those rules about relationships, so she will be the last Skywalker. The absence of Skywalkers means the future has to look very different.
2 Star Wars could return to the dark times
The return of Darth Vader

Recent years have delighted viewers with the return of Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen to the iconic roles of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader. He Obi Wan Kenobi The Disney+ TV show was originally conceived as a trilogy, one that explored Obi-Wan’s reconnection with the Force, but it evolved into something very different. However, Lucasfilm could still explore that part of the timeline, focusing on Darth Vader himself, perhaps in his quest to hunt down the survivors of Order 66. This would need to be handled carefully, but it would surely be a hit.
There was a time when the star wars The prequel trilogy was ridiculed. However, those days are gone; Today, the return of Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen was met with almost universal delight by the fan base. Both McGregor and Christensen have made it clear that they are eager to get back to star warsso the possibility of a Dark Times adventure starring Darth Vader himself cannot be ruled out. Although the character’s final point is known, star wars He’s always known that it doesn’t matter in terms of dramatic impact; The end point of the entire prequel trilogy was a foregone conclusion.

Darth Vader doesn’t really have room for a massive emotional arc.
The difficulty here, however, is ensuring that the stories have emotional stakes. the scrapped Obi Wan Kenobi The trilogy would have told the story of how Obi-Wan evolved as a character. Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith until A new hope. Darth Vader doesn’t really have room for a massive emotional arc, so this would require some very careful writing.
1 Something new… and unexpected
The possibilities are endless

We know a lot about the star wars timeline, but the franchise may go where it’s never gone before. The first possibility lies in the Unknown Regions, a vast sector of unexplored space. Like Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn: Ascendancy – Rising Chaos explains:
“Chaos had not always been like this, or so the legends said. Once, in the dawn of space travel, it had been no more difficult to move between any of the stars than it was now to travel in the Ascendancy. But then, millennia ago, a series of chained supernova explosions across the region had sent enormous masses falling at high speed between the stars, some of them demolishing asteroids or entire worlds, others triggering more supernovae with their impacts near the speed of light. These masses, together with regions of strong electromagnetic flux, resulted in constantly changing hyperlanes that made any trip longer than a couple of star systems difficult and dangerous.”

This part of star wars The galaxy is commonly associated with the blue-skinned Chiss (think Grand Admiral Thrawn), but in reality there are countless inhabitants. Simon Kinberg could tell any story he wanted in the Unknown Regions and could create any new Force cult he wanted. The opportunities are literally limitless.
But there are even more possibilities after the end of Ahsoka season 1. This took the franchise further than even George Lucas had imagined, with Ahsoka traveling to the planet Peridea in a distant galaxy. The recently published Star Wars Bestiary Vol. 1 hinted that Peridea became public knowledge after Ahsoka’s trip there, so it’s possible that future stories will take place in this new galaxy. Then, star wars It could really take unexpected new directions.
