LucasFilm boss Kathleen Kennedy talks about the future of Star Wars
"We just need the time to step back and really absorb what George [Lucas] has creไated"

There's been a disturbance in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars release schedule. What was once planned as a series releasing one movie every year – one main saga instalment, followed by a spin-off the next year, followed by a main saga one, repeat forever – has transformed into one movie every two years, starting back up in 2023. That's four years between 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and the next Star War movie!
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:LucasFilm, who produce the Star Wars movies, is using this time to reevaluate what works and what does not, with Kathleen Kennedy carefully planning the series' next steps. Speaking with , she said: "[Theꦡ] stories have been told within this universe over the last 40-odd years, and there’s now the realization that this is a mythology that actually spans about 25,000 years, when you really start to look at all the different stories that have been told, whether it’s in books and games."
She continued: "We just need the time to step back and really absorb what George [Lucas] has created, and then start to think about where things might go. That’s what we’ve been doing, and we’ve been having a great deal of fun doing it, a🍌nd meeting with lots of different filmmakers and talent.
"There’s so many fans out there a🧜nd so many filmmakers that hav🌊e been influenced by Star Wars for so long that it’s a fantastic opportunity to get a sense of who wants to be a part of this. So that’s what we’ve been doing."
Before the next instalment in the main series – which is expected 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:to be directed by Taika Waititi – there will be a whole host of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new Disney Plus series set in the Star Wars universe. We have already seen the beginning of what's possible with The Mandalorian, which will continue with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Mandalorian season 2 later this year.
"I’ve already seen evidence of it," Kennedy said of the importance of the Disney Plus shows. "The abili𝐆ty to be very character-driven, with extended storytelling and connected storytelling, I think this space offers us a great opportunity to do that."
Following Mando, there will be new series on Obi-Wan Kenobi, Cassian Andor, and a "female-led" series which speculators believe could revolve around 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rosario Daws𝐆on's take on Ahsoka Tano . Whatever the cಌase, the future of Star Wars is in good hands – we just wish the wait to see our fꦜavourite galaxy far, far away wasn't quite so long.
