Rey Skywalker: The Future of Star Wars and the Battle for the Next Trilogy
Forget the Death Star; the real focus in Star Wars now is Rey Skywalker. Since Lucasfilm announced that Simon Kinberg would develop a new Star Wars trilogy, debate has centered on whether this could continue the iconic Skywalker Saga, exploring themes tied to Luke, Darth Vader, and the legacy established by George Lucas in 1977.
The planned trilogy may intersect with an upcoming Rey-focused standalone film, directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, marking a significant push for the character. Despite mixed reception for The Rise of Skywalker, Rey remains a central asset for Lucasfilm, potentially appearing in multiple new films. According to insiders, Rey’s story is critical, given her post-Lucas creation and enduring screen presence, making her one of the franchise’s few remaining cinematic assets.
Lucasfilm’s movie development process is unique in Hollywood, with multiple projects overlapping in characters and timelines, creating a domino effect where one film’s release could influence others. Projects include Taika Waititi’s upcoming film, Shawn Levy’s project, and Donald Glover’s Lando feature. The franchise’s television branch, however, has greater creative flexibility, giving rise to series like Andor and The Mandalorian.
Ultimately, Lucasfilm faces a fundamental decision: continue the Skywalker Saga, or pivot into new stories. As one source put it, they’re essentially being asked to craft “the new New Testament” for Star Wars, as they navigate preserving nostalgia while finding fresh stories.
