Even as Lucasfilm is deep in post-production on its next Star Wars movie, Star Wars: Starfighter, the next phase of a potential new Skywalker Saga is coming into focus.

Jon Watts, the director behind a trio of Tom Holland Spider-Man movies, is now attached to direct the first installment of the Simon Kinberg-penned trilogy. It is a return to the franchise for Watts, who previously co-created Star Wars series Skeleton Crew in 2024.

Kinberg has been working on writing a mystery trilogy since late 2024. The project is intended to act as the next chapter in what is referred to as the Skywalker Saga, the stories featuring the multi-generations of the Luke Skywalker family. The previous movies have been Episodes I through IX. The next one would be Episode X. Rey Skywalker, the Jedi played by Daisy Ridley in last trilogy released from 2015 and 2019, would appear in some capacity in the new trilogy.

Watts co-created and co-wrote Skeleton Crew, the well-regarded but unfortunately not greatly seen series that starred Jude Law and brought an Amblin vibe to the Star Wars universe. Watts directed two episodes of the show, which also had a starry assemblage of helmers that included David Lowery, Lee Isaac Chung, Jake Schreier, Bryce Dallas Howard, and the Daniels.

Is this before or after Rian Johnson’s trilogy?

So it won't have any actual Skywalkers in it then. Got it.

Someone had better write in a subplot about that time Luke got drunk on Tatooine and couldn't remember his slump-buster with the cantina maid.

"Hi, I'm looking for my dad. Mom says his name was Luke Sky-something. Can you point me in the right direction?"

Did Vader have a side piece? Because all the known Skywalkers are dead.

I am hopeful that Starfighter is going to retcon a bit and add Mara Jade and Luke’s son to the mix. Daisy Ridley can come in and hand it back to the Skywalkers.

Can't wait until they run out of gas again, drop space bombs in zero gravity and free the oppressed animals in a space zoo.

Be still my heart.

So, identifying as Skywalker is what we’re going with now, huh?


Then the name Skywalker truly is dead.

Do the people not understand that she has verbally declared that she now identifies as a Skywalker? That most certainly trumps actual hereditary genes. And anyone that says otherwise is a bigot and a racist...somehow.

But seriously it's just stupid to call this next series of movies a Skywalker saga. Not only because she is a Palpatine (or some variation of one) and not a Skywalker, but the last trilogy of SW movies that she starred in effectively killed the whole aura of the Skywalkers. I doubt that the majority of people that grew up with the Skwalkers, and Luke & Vader in particular, care what happens after the debacle that was that last trilogy. They'd be far better off declaring the last trilogy a fever dream by Luke that never actually happened and just start over from there.

Dont forget they’re going to win because they fight for love!

I truly hate what happened to the actress that played Rose. It was completely unfair/gross. But my God I hate the character Rose so fricking much. She single handedly made me think “maybe the First Order winning wouldn’t be a terrible thing”

Ooof…how did they keep letting him do them ?

DOFP a clear outlier that probably benefited from Vaughn punching it up before leaving

Have they learned their lesson of having individual storylines and trying to tie it together or have a well thought out overarching storyline?

I’m sure it will be the former again.
