Spoilers All Things STAR WARS - News, Speculation & Spoilers Thread

I actually beat you to the punch by 1 minute in a dedicated thread, as I thought this news deserved one, although it doesn't really matter where the conversation continues.

News - Deadline-- Simon Kinberg signs deal for new trilogy-

https://deadline.com/2024/11/star-wars-trilogy-simon-kinberg-movies-1236169916/ Episodes 10, 11 and 12 of the Skywalker saga? I'm torn. On one hand I look at his X-Men movies, on the other hand I look at is involvement on Star Wars Rebels, where he worked with Dave Filoni and no doubt be...

That was my initial first thought as well, due to the quality of his X-Men movies where he was essentially head honcho, but then I thought of his involvement in Star Wars Rebels, where he was working under Dave Filoni as he would no doubt be doing here. With all of the setup they're doing for the sequel trilogy in the Mando verse shows, perhaps this new trilogy can do for the sequel trilogy what Clone Wars show did for the prequel trilogy and make them part of a larger story that's better when looked at as a whole. That will be a tough job.

One thing is for sure, I'm sure he and Filoni will have, at the very least, a story structure for the whole trilogy in place before beginning, which is more than can be said for episodes seven, eight and nine.

Pretty much my thoughts too. Looking at everything he's written, or had a significant hand in; the only one that was any good (and not almost entirely carried by the performances) was 'Days of Future Past'. But on the other hand they did keep him onboard 'Rebels' for all four seasons, albeit mostly as a producer (what few things he's gotten solo credit for were just "OK".) So Lucasfilm must see something there, and one assumes an at least amicable working relationship with Filloni.

Indeed that may have been the whole point of this as retreating to familiar known quantities when a deal with an outside creative falls through is something they've done before. See: tapping Ron Howard to get 'Solo' done.

Fairly sure they're going to stick with the idea that the Skywalker Saga is done. Whatever else they do that's set after that point will be under a different banner, whether or not a Skywalker is involved in said story.

Indeed given that line of Anakin died with Ben, Rey pretty much has to be the last Skywalker, unless it becomes a title or something passed down through the new Order.

I suspect some of the confusion comes from certain sources equating continuing the story past the last movies being a continuation of the saga by sheer definition. Understandable, and it is rather a matter of semantics until the story of any new Saga is put into place.

Are you saying Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is out of a job? :p

They're literally planning to make a Rey Skywalker movie.

Wait, Rey is infertile? I must have missed that. :p

I remember some people speculating 'Skywalker' would become the title of the new Jedi or something, when the title of Episode 9 was announced.

That would have been an interesting twist. I recall that too. Though, a coworker of mine and I were discussing how it would have been interesting if Rey had been a Kenobi too.

But, regardless, I don't see Rey as a Skywalker continuing the Saga films necessarily.

Because the name of a family that produced two mass murderers in three generations would be soooo much more respectable than a group who oversaw a thousand generations of peace? :rommie:

I was one of those people. My Nostrildumbass skills were off.

And also oversaw a war that nearly split the Republic in two, failed to keep the peace, and used a slave army, if one wants to go extreme.

Die a hero or live long enough to become a villain. The Jedi, for all their good, ended on a incredibly dour note. A Skywalker overthrew the Empire.

And then the Empire came roaring back a few years later, killing even more planets than before until a Palpatine finally defeated them.

By any objective measure, in terms of failures divided by time, the Jedi were far, far better for the galaxy than the Skywalker family.
 
And even then, the Skywalker family was ultimately a victim of Palpatine, just like everyone else. I mean, I'm not saying that Anakin didn't make decisions, because he certainly did, but he was also being groomed and corrupted by a powerful Sith Lord ever since the age of 10. ("We will watch your career with great interest.")

True.

But the failure would be the freshest in public memory.

Neither is really great.

Yep. It was always a dumb theory, formulated because people didn't want to guess how dumb the actual reason would be. :rommie:

You do realize the OT and Sequel Trilogy occur after the PT, right? ;)

Not sure the math works out on that one...

Yeah, to the best of our knowledge Starkiller Base "only" wiped out one planet, and while the first death Star only atomized one planet, Alderaan, it's been canonically established that the ecological damage to Jedha was catastrophic, so that was essentially destroyed too. I remember that the Star Destroyers in The Rise of Skywalker were all equipped with planet killers (:rolleyes:), but I've only seen that movie once, so I can't recall if there were any actual populated planets destroyed by any of them.
