New ‘Star Wars’ Trilogy to Explore Untold Stories in the Galaxy, Directed by Franchise Veteran Simon Kinberg

The epic universe of ‘Star Wars’ is expanding once more, as Lucasfilm has officially confirmed a new film trilogy with Simon Kinberg, co-creator of ‘Star Wars Rebels,’ taking on the roles of writer and co-producer. This fresh trilogy will chart new territory, marking a departure from the ‘Skywalker Saga’ that concluded with 2019’s ‘The Rise of Skywalker.’

Kinberg, known for his creative prowess and deep understanding of the ‘Star Wars’ lore, will collaborate with Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy to bring this ambitious project to life. Disney has announced that this new trilogy will open up unexplored aspects of the galaxy’s history, offering fans a fresh storyline with new characters and compelling adventures.

While details are currently limited, sources have disclosed that this trilogy won’t intersect with the Skywalker family’s legacy, giving Kinberg and Kennedy the freedom to create a wholly original narrative. This bold direction marks an exciting era for the franchise, which is set to bring a diverse array of storylines to the silver screen.

Aside from this trilogy, the ‘Star Wars’ franchise is bustling with other projects as well. Upcoming releases include ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ film, scheduled for May 2026, along with a ‘Jedi Order’ film directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. With multiple ventures underway, the ‘Star Wars’ cinematic universe promises to deliver a range of exciting experiences to both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
