That’s going to be something of a leap for audiences, given that the last two episodes have spent most of their time revisiting tropes or reversing popular themes from the original trilogy. Keen-eyed Padawan will be aware that Lucasfilm has hired Rian Johnson to oversee an all-new trilogy of Star Wars films that will not focus on the Skywalker clan, or any of the characters introduced in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. That’s because Rogue One and its vision of a galaxy beyond the Skywalkers, lightsaber battles and Jedi, might have been a calling card for the direction this long-running space saga needs to go in if it is to survive and prosper in cinemas.
STAR WARS MOVIES ROGUE ONE SERIES
The new show won’t be the only Star Wars live action show set to debut – Disney just announced that Game of Thrones’ Pedro Pascal will lead its new series The Mandalorian, about a bounty hunter from the same clan as the infamous Boba Fett – but it could be the one with the greatest long-term impact on the Star Wars movies. “The rousing spy thriller will explore tales filled with espionage and daring missions to restore hope to a galaxy in the grip of a ruthless Empire.” “The series, which will go into production next year, follows the adventures of rebel spy Cassian Andor during the formative years of the Rebellion and prior to the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” said the studio. Disney has announced that Diego Luna’s Andor will return in a small-screen live action series for Disney+, the new TV streaming service.
