Two well-respected news sources, The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline, have shared similar reports about a breaking Star Wars story, with minor differences: both sources confirm that Disney has brought on Simon Kinberg, renowned for his work on Fox’s X-Men films and the creation of Star Wars Rebels, to pen a new trilogy of Star Wars movies. However, the details provided by each source differ. Deadline suggests that this upcoming trilogy will serve as the next installment in the “Skywalker Saga” and will continue the story directly from Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, which concluded with lead character Rey assuming the title “Rey Skywalker.” On the other hand, The Hollywood Reporter states that this trilogy is intentionally not a continuation of the Skywalker Saga but instead will introduce fresh characters and a new narrative, aiming to guide the franchise into unexplored territory.
