The critics and the loud "minority" of fans might not have loved the post-OG trilogy Star Wars but the global box office tells a different story. All three films still made far more than the first six combined, which is probably why Disney is circling back to do a new trilogy.
As part of its latest Star Wars Celebration in London, Disney, specifically, Lucasfilm president, Kathleen Kennedy, confirmed that the tenth mainline Star Wars installment is in the works.
According to Kennedy, the post-Episode IX Star Wars film will see Daisy Ridley return as Rey Skywalker (or is it Palpatine?) in a film set many years after the events of Rise of Skywalker. The film is set in a brand new era, the New Jedi Order, where Rey will try to rebuild the titular faction.
Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, who most recently worked on Ms. Marvel, is directing the upcoming feature film.
Star Wars: New Jedi Order is one of the three new upcoming Star Wars projects that Kennedy confirmed at the Star Wars Celebration 2023 in London.
