Lucasfilm has closed a deal with Simon Kinberg, the American filmmaker partially known for writing and producing a number of X-Men films for 20th Century Fox, to develop a third trilogy of Star Wars films, according to a new Deadline report. Kinberg, who made his directorial debut in 2019 with Dark Phoenix, is writing all three films, which will be produced by Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. “I think The Rise of Skywalker is poorly directed, terribly filmed, clumsily edited, lamely scripted (a perennial problem, that one) and badly acted,” reads a review for the sequel-trilogy capper that was published shortly after the film’s theatrical release on December 20, 2019.
I heard this will comprise episodes 10-12 of The Skywalker Saga that began with George Lucas’s 1977 first film that along with Steven Spielberg’s Jaws reshaped the global blockbuster game. Insiders disputed my intel that Kinberg will continue that storyline, saying this will instead begin a new saga, and sit alongside Star Wars percolating projects with James Mangold, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Taika Waititi and Donald Glover.

Meh... I bet money they re make the first (3-6) movies with new actors and actresses and only then do they make more Star wars movies.
Wouldn't that be a fourth or are we retconning the disney trilogy out of existence?
Old Republic FTW!!!! I'm sick of the Rey stuff

If you expect something truly new and unique you'll be disappointed.
Evil cannot create, only corrupts.

same question
Just make more movies in the John Wick universe and fast forward the time line to a Cyberpunk setting. It would fit so well... sigh.

Thankfully, that didn't happen. Johnson KILLED the Skywalker Saga.

A third trilogy? do you mean the Rey Palpatine saga never happened? Thank GOD!!!
Oh lord, no more please. Then again, meh, who cares.
Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor are great. Make movies like that. Stop with the Disney Princess strategy, and get back to the roots. I.E. Bad ass knights and wizards, fell beasts, exotic settings, droids everywhere, and the eternal struggle concerning how power corrupts.

the first 6 movies make tremendous sense once you interpret the force as not a physical effect but a mental effect
basically you can't do any physical things with the force but it just strengthens your mind. (since strengthening of mind can't be shown explicitly physical effects are shown instead.) I think of this more like pagan idol worship where you venerate physical objects because you can't feel/see the divine
