Star Wars is reportedly getting a new film trilogy

But it remains largely a mystery at the moment.

Deadline and Variety both report that Lucasfilm has tapped Simon Kinberg, best-known for his work on the X-Men films, to write and develop a new Star Wars trilogy. But it could also be a brand-new saga that is tied in part to the other three Star Wars movies that Lucasfilm announced last year, which will be directed by James Mangold, Dave Filoni, and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. While the franchise has expanded quite a bit through streaming series on Disney Plus — including The Mandalorian, The Acolyte, and Ahsoka — there hasn’t been a new movie in theaters since The Rise of Skywalker in 2019.
