Med dette års Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker bliver der lukket og slukket for Star Wars-universet som vi kender det, og dermed skal Disney finde ud af hvordan de vil fortsætte med at fortælle historier. Vi ved allerede at Game of Thrones-skaberne arbejder på en ny trilogi, og det samme gør The Last Jedi-instruktøren Rian Johnson. Nu ved vi at Johnsons trilogi vil tage udgangspunkt i nye karakterer og nye historier.
I et interview med Observer bekræfter Johnson, at til trods for skuffelse omkring The Last Jedi, så er hans trilogi fortsat undervejs, og at denne vil tage afstand fra den eksisterende kanon.
"I think that the fun and challenging part of it is to dive in, figure out what's exciting and then figure out what it's going to be. We're doing something that steps beyond the legacy characters. What does that look like? To me, the blue-sky element of it is what was most striking about it. I know the way that I'm coming at it and what's fun about it for everyone in George Lucas' films is figuring out, 'what's the next step?' It really makes you think and figure out what the essence of Star Wars is for me and what that will look like moving forward."
Det synes dog ikke at være helt fast hvad trilogien skal handle om, så alt tyder på at Game of Thrones-skabernes nye trilogi er længere fremme i udviklingen.
