Rey and the Millenium Falcon in Hyperspace from Rise of Skywalker
Star Wars fans were taken by surprise when reports emerged that Simon Kinberg had been tapped to develop a new trilogy of movies, and new reports point to the reasons why Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy chose to approach him specifically. Perhaps best known for his work on the X-Men franchise, it was reported that Kinberg had been tasked with writing and developing a new Star Wars trilogy.
In addition to his work on Star Wars: Rebels, Kinberg had previously been selected by Kennedy to be one of the earliest voices in planning Disney’s approach to the sequel trilogy, alongside Michael Arndt and Lawrence Kasdan. However, much of this work would be swept aside following the release of 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Similarly, he had also been involved in aiding James Mangold write his standalone Boba Fett movie, another ill-fated project that never materialized.
Placing these new movies directly into the hands of someone who is not only familiar with the Star Wars brand, but also has experience working on other major franchises, seems like a sensible move designed to deliver a far more cohesive product. Our Take On Kinberg's Star Wars Trilogy His Track Record Is Not Entirely Spotless ✕ Remove Ads At face value, it would seem that Kinberg is a largely safe choice to entrust with such an enormous task. Having recently helped deliver Disney another major boon in the form of his role as an executive producer on Deadpool & Wolverine, it is possible his Star Wars trilogy could potentially go on to silence even the franchise’s most vocal detractors.
