Kathleen Kennedy says Lucasfilm is planning the next ten years of Star Wars post-Episode IX

November 3, 2017 by Gary Collinson

It’s certainly a busy time for Lucasfilm, what with Star Wars: The Last Jedi incoming, Ron Howard in post-production on Solo: A Star Wars Story following intense reshoots, and J.J. Abrams working furiously on the script for Star Wars: Episode IX after the studio decided to part ways with Colin Trevorrow and start over ahead of production next year.

However, despite the heavy workload, it seems that Kathleen Kennedy and the Lucasfilm Story Group are now sitting down to map out the next ten years of Star Wars movies following Episode IX.

“We’re sitting down now, we’re talking about the next ten years of Star Wars stories and we’re looking at narratively where that might go; future stories beyond Episode IX, with these new characters, Rey, Poe, Finn, BB-8, but we’re also looking at working with people that are interested in coming into the Star Wars world and taking us to places that we haven’t been yet, and that’s exciting too because it’s a vast galaxy far, far away,” said Kennedy on the latest episode of The Star Wars Show. “The possibilities are endless.”

Given that upcoming Anthology movies are reportedly set to focus on Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and even Jabba the Hutt, the prospect of being taken to places we haven’t been yet will surely sound appealing to those fans who want to see the franchise venturing out beyond the already-established canon.
