The 7 Star Wars films to come after the ascent of Skywalker

Since Episode IX, life has not been a long, quiet river in the very distant galaxy. Many projects have been launched, as much have been abandoned, and the owner Kathleen Kennedy leaves. So when is Episode X?

It was 6 years ago already. It seems that it has been in light years that the‘Episode IX of Star Wars – Rebroadcast this evening on TMC – was released in the cinemas.

From The ascent of SkywalkerLucasfilm has launched several tracks to relaunch the saga, to breathe new life, without concretizing anything so far. To the point where the galaxy Star Wars will lose your boss. Kathleen Kennedy will leave the studio management before the end of 2025.

“”I want to say it loud and clear, I don’t take my retirement“She says in an interview given to Deadline, to clarify the situation. “I will never take my retirement from cinema. I will die by making films (…) what is happening at Lucasfilmit is that I have spoken for some time with Bob Iger (the Disney boss) what a possible succession could be. We intended to make an announcement in a few months or in a year. “

Disney wants to restart the machine Star Wars. SO Kathleen Kennedy must be a successor, even if it does not want to advance a name “Because there is an internal process that takes place within a large company and a listed company“. Just, she promises that it is not”Chaos“within Lucasfilmas you might think about the number of films and series Star Wars Launched, abandoned, reshaped … “There has never been chaos because we know exactly what the plan is (…) George asked me 13 years ago to take over (when he sold Lucasfilm to Disney after the prelogy, editor’s note)and now I’m looking at who will replace me. “

So what is the plan? What future for Star Wars In the coming years? Concretely, there are seven films which are officially under development, more or less advanced. Beyond the end of Mandalorianderived from the TV series, there will be a new trilogy (the fourth), which will be the Episodes X, XI and XIIbut also an independent spin-off, a prequel, and a madness still uncertain. We take stock.

The film Star Wars by Shawn Levy is very good

Kathleen Kennedy explains that the film The Mandalorian & Grogu will be well released in May 2026. This will be the next project stamped Star Warsto be projected on a large screen.

Kennedy will be a producer, just as she will be producing another film Star Wars already validated, that of Shawn Levywhich will come out in stride.

We do not yet know what he will talk about, but the director of Stranger Things will not direct a prequel or a spin-off parallel to the previous trilogies. “”Everything happens after the 9 films. Shawn’s film is a story Star Wars independent, a separate film, which will take place after the ninth episode, a priori five or six years after. “

The film is called Star Wars: Starfighter and a cinemas release date has already been set at May 28, 2027.

Ryan Gosling will be the star, a new star of the galaxy very distant. The actor of Barbie will play a pilot. The young actress freshly oscaked for Anora,, Mikey Madisonwas offered the first female role. She has declined.

But then again, it will not be the‘Episode X official.

The new trilogy, written by Simon Kinberg, is still planned

For this, we will have to wait a few more years. Because a new trilogy, i.e. Episodes X, XI and XII – is planned, but not immediately. She is the former screenwriter of the latest films X-Men who took control of writing.

“We are absolutely fast and strong” promises Kennedy. “That Exceptionally well, and Simon is literally writing the script right now. We will probably read something around June. Simon, if you remember, has already worked for us years ago on the animated series, which was a really wonderful collaboration experience. Then, he was very busy with X-Men, then he recently became available and he made the transition into this universe in a superb manner. We are really excited to see where it goes. “

The boss of Lucasfilm Confirm that this trilogy will be the continuation of the Skywalker saga: “This is the next iteration, the new saga that brings us to the future. ” Daisy Ridley should come back to play Rey well, as announced from a lease.

The prequel of James Mangold is also still in progress

Beyond the new trilogy, the spin-off of the Mandalorian and Ryan Gosling specialanother film Star Wars advance well and will go in the past. About 25,000 years before the events of Star War.

A prequel to tell the origins of the force, not yet validated but in full development: “Yes. He is currently working on the script. James Mangold was delayed a little because of the film Dylan and the price season. But you have to accommodate high -level talents. And the quality is so important for what we are trying to do. I like to wait for the people I think passionate and really good to get involved in Star Wars. “

THE Star Wars by Taika Waititi is not abandoned

Finally, the boss of Lucasfilm said “Continue to wait until Taika (Waititi) because he now works with another screenwriter. He is so busy. I love it. I think if we ever get a taika script, it will be fantastic. I have already seen a first act that I loved, but getting it engaged, it’s delicate“She explains, suggesting that the project will probably not succeed in the short term.

In all cases, we understand that the plans initiated by Kathleen Kennedy will remain current, despite his departure, and that the successor will aim to continue the mission, not to revolutionize the house Lucasfilm.
