Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed in May that there were six new installments in development, which doesn’t completely account for all of these projects but suggests that Knights of the Old Republicis the basis of one of two announced trilogies. Add the Rian Johnson trilogy, which we’ve heard little about since it was first announced in 2017, to the mix and that’s three separate Star Wars trilogies in the works.
There was also some speculation that the poor box office performance of Solo: A Star Wars Story, the last standalone film released, had convinced Disney to pump the brakes on yearly Star Wars installments and shift back to an “event” approach, meaning bigger gaps between installments (or, in this case, trilogies).īuzzfeed’s report throws all that into question, though. Weiss will take place in the Old Republic era, which is set thousands of years before the events of A New Hope, a time when massive Republic armies led by Jedi Knights fought back the villainous Sith Empire as well as a Mandalorian invasion force. Right now I have no idea where things might fall, but we have to be careful that there is a cadence to Star Wars that doesn’t start to feel like too much.”īuzzfeed’s report follows another rumor that the trilogy of movies to be helmed by Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B.
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy previously confirmed that the studio was working on something related to Knights of the Old Republic: “Yes, we are developing something to look at. Screenwriter Laeta Kalogridis ( Shutter Island, Alita: Battle Angel) is currently in the process of finishing the script for the first installment, per the outlet. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is being adapted for the big screen, according to Buzzfeed, which reports that the popular game and comic book series will be the basis of a trilogy of movies.
