‘Star Wars’: Simon Kinberg to Write, Produce New Trilogy for Lucasfilm (www.hollywoodreporter.com)

The new story is not meant to be a continuation of the Skywalker Saga, the name of the overall arc of the popular and pop culture-dominating Star Wars movies known as Episodes 1 through 9. The intent here is to have brand new characters and a new story, and not have it be a continuation, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. (Although that does not mean that some characters could not or would not pop up.)

Kinberg already has strong Star Wars ties. He co-created the animated series Star Wars: Rebels with Dave Filoni as well as Carrie Beck. The Emmy-nominated ran for four seasons, from 2014-2018.

He also helped out on the relaunch of Star Wars after Disney bought Lucasfilm, acting as a consultant on 2015’s The Force Awakens.

Kinberg is an established presence in the genre space. He had a hand in the Fox X-Men movies, being one of the producers of Logan and the first two Deadpool movies, among many other creative duties. And he is about to go into production on Edgar Wright’s take on Stephen King tale The Running Man for Paramount.

How long before this project is cancelled, or we never hear of it again! 😆

The article finishes with a reminder:

Lucasfilm has tried to chart paths forward before. Kennedy previously signed filmmaker Rian Johnson (Knives Out) to develop a trilogy as well as Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. None of those came close to fruition, with the company facing occasional scrutiny over the years.

The first movie will 100% start on Tatooine.

No, it's a desert planet that's legally distinct from tatooine, but still very obviously inspired by it.

Just like starkiller base was definitely not a death star and this weird mining site in 8 was definitely not inspired by hoth, it's salt and not snow afterall!!

Coming out of 8 was the only time I left the cinema genuinely angry.
