new star wars trilogy

Reuters quoted a source familiar with the matter as saying that the new trilogy is in the early stages of development at the Walt Disney Company, and is being written by X-Men creator Simon Kinberg.

Kinberg has previously worked in the Star Wars universe. He famously co-created the critically acclaimed and fan-favorite animated series Star Wars Rebels. According to the report, he will also produce the films with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy.

Disney has not released a Star Wars film in theaters since 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker, the ninth installment in the main series.

The new trilogy will begin with a fresh story and is unrelated to the Skywalker saga, the source said. No other details were provided on the plot or timeline. It’s unclear whether the first film will be titled Episode 10 or something else entirely.

about star wars

Star Wars, created by George Lucas, is one of the most successful film franchises of all time. The original trilogy was released 1977–83. A new prequel trilogy was launched in the late 90s. It focuses on Vader’s early years and how he transformed from righteous Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker to villain. A kind of space western, a tale of good versus evil, the films have grossed more than $5 billion in global ticket sales since the release of the first installment in 1977.

Disney has several other Star Wars projects in the works. The Mandalorian and Grogu, based on the Disney series about a helmeted warrior and his companion, is scheduled to arrive in theaters in May 2026.
