The Ultimate Journey: Star Wars' Next Movie Sets a New Course Beyond George Lucas
Star Wars' Next Movie Expands the Saga, Leaving George Lucas Behind & Introducing the Exciting New Jedi Order A Bold Step Towards an Epic New Chapter!
The next Star Wars movie, as indicated by Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, will be a departure from George Lucas. Rey's New Jedi Order film will embark on a fresh chapter, signaling a shift from Lucas' nine-episode saga recently concluded with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Set 15 years ahead, Rey's upcoming adventure explores uncharted territory, as Disney looks to chart new paths for the Star Wars franchise after the successful completion of its initial phase.
During an interview with GamesRadar, Kennedy expressed that Rey's upcoming New Jedi Order film will depart from the narrative established by Lucas' saga.
She stated, "This presents an incredible chance to introduce fresh characters and embark on a new journey, as we concluded George's original vision and are now ready to venture into the next installment."
Star Wars Is Finally Moving Beyond Lucas
With a 15-year advantage in the timeline, Lucasfilm now has the opportunity to create a compelling storyline featuring fresh characters, both heroes and villains. The upcoming Star Wars film will revolve around Rey's commitment to Luke Skywalker, acting as a central driving force for both the protagonist and the narrative.
The extent to which the Star Wars sequel trilogy adhered to Lucas's original vision remains a topic of debate. However, it is evident that Kennedy considers this endeavor to be a complete entity. The Rise of Skywalker generated both positive and negative reactions, leaving the destiny of the future in Rey's capable hands. Although it happened sooner than anticipated, a continuation of her story was inevitable, making the rebuilding of the Jedi Order a natural progression for both the character and the franchise.
The essential aspect is for Lucasfilm to remain focused on the fundamental principles and themes of Star Wars. Lucas remains the core of the franchise and will always hold that position. Ironically, the sequels were somewhat unoriginal compared to his initial films, which led to criticism from the creator for the lack of innovation. Lucasfilm now possesses a fresh opportunity to embrace novelty and pay tribute to Lucas by progressing beyond his central narrative in the forthcoming Star Wars film.
