Disney appoints Simon Kinberg for a new Star Wars trilogy, shifting focus beyond the Skywalker saga.

Disney has tapped Simon Kinberg to helm the next Star Wars trilogy, viewing the franchise as a genre with endless potential rather than a single saga. This shift aims to explore new time periods and realms beyond the Skywalker saga, as seen in Kinberg's work on Star Wars: Rebels. However, this move raises questions about the future of Rian Johnson's planned trilogy, which has seen no progress since its 2017 announcement. Some fans are concerned that the franchise may be overwhelmed with ongoing storylines.
