Star Wars Episodes X-XII

[ZariusTwo]

Lucasfilm has closed a deal with Simon Kinberg to develop a trilogy of Star Wars films. Kinberg will write the trio, and produce them with Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy.



I heard this will comprise episodes 10-12 of The Skywalker Saga that began with George Lucas’s 1977 first film that along with Steven Spielberg’s Jaws reshaped the global blockbuster game. Insiders disputed my intel that Kinberg will continue that storyline, saying this will instead begin a new saga, and sit alongside Star Wars percolating projects with James Mangold, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Taika Waititi and Donald Glover. As usual, Lucasfilm and Disney are not commenting.


Kinberg previously worked with Lucasfilm in co-creating with Dave Filoni and Carrie Beck the Emmy-nominated animated series Star Wars Rebels that ran for four seasons from 2014-2018. He was also a consultant on Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, the J.J. Abrams-directed film that revived the franchise in 2015.


He has also been heavily involved in other franchises as writer and/or producer. That includes a decade spent on the X-Men films and the Logan spinoff film that starred Hugh Jackman and was directed by Mangold. He was also producer of the first two Deadpool films, and exec producer of the 2024 blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine; he produced the Ridley Scott-directed The Martian‘ and has scripted such films as Mr & Mrs Smith and co-wrote the film that launched the Sherlock Holmes franchise with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. He also produced the Kenneth Branagh Agatha Christie film trilogy that started with Murder on the Orient Express. In short, he’s comfortable in the franchise sphere.

Noooooo, not Snitchberg.

[neatoman]

Do I have any at all reason to think this will be good?

[Roseangelo]

Wouldn't this just be the new Rey trilogy?

Probably. It might be "the Rey movie" quietly just morphs into the first one of this, minus that horrible, horrible director.

I haven‘t watched anything Star Wars related since Rogue One and I plan to keep it that way. I might watch the original trilogy with my kids later this year for the first time. But anything post 80s? No, thanks.

I’m sure you know this, but you’ve saved your self from a world of hurt. At least as far as theatrical releases go. I’ve heard mixed stuff about the D+ shows.

I don't know why they are rushing these so soon. They should wait till Daisy Ridley is like 35-40 until they do something with her again.

Like the last movie came out as recently as 2019...

Technically theres 10 movies in development, this ain't counting the trilogies as separate movies or else it's like 16. It's worse than the old DCEU announced movies at this point
I think the fate of all of them depend on the Mandalorian and Groggu movie.
I think the Mandalorian finale movie will still happen regardless as will one Rey movie at least. The rest it really depends on how everything else goes. So let's make sure not to watch any of them. I haven't watched any Star Wars content since Episode IX. And I only saw IX because kid me would've wanted to finish the trilogy.
The Rey movie is independent from Episode X.

Yeah I'd say they slightly re-purpose whatever assets they had going towards the original intent for that Rey trilogy (even if it's only a script plot outline or something - whatever they had). They will evolve from that.

Whatever form these films will take, it won't be with Kathleen Kennedy it seems. Fans get their long-desired wish at the close of '25.

Too late the damage has already been done. Hopefully it's true since the Hollywood Reporter is covering this.

[Andrew NDB]

If it's true, the hope will of course be that it'll happen in time to kill the Rey movie and trilogy. I'm not at all against them doing a proper Episode X-XII with Rey in some manner, but you just can't do it with a Pakistani activist director who's only ever directed activism documentaries. And you can't do it with Snitchberg either.

Episode X officially greenlit

Jon Watts (MCU's Spider-Man "Home" Trilogy, Skeleton Crew) will direct from the script by Kinberg. It will launch the new Skywalker trilogy. Daisy Ridley will appear in some capacity as Rey

How can you have a new "Skywalker Trilogy" when all the Skywalkers are dead?

Haven’t they done enough damage to the skywalker legacy.

If we get an episode X I would likely see it just because of how much I loved Episodes 1-6 as a kid. But I can't see how these movies won't just do worse with each entry Ep X would likely not even break a billion, and each one would just do worse. Disney really did kill the brand.

For a wishlist would be to somehow have a logical retcon that Rey is somehow indeed a real skywalker and not a palpatine, and for it to adapt some of the ideas Lucas had for episodes 7-9. I've mentioned before that I think the actual episodes 7-9 could likely be edited by fans to be one movie that works more of an epilogue of episode 6. since everything that happens in those movies is just a rehash of 4-6, if episode X starts how episode 7 should've been with a new cast of characters which is the new jedi academy or whatever and go on adventures from there. Sucks we lost the legacy characters but a movie with a fresh cast where Rey and Finn are Jedi of a new more interesting cast doing something new could be interesting.

Watts was a very good director, but some off Simon Kinberg's scripts have been very bad over the years.
