Episodes 10, 11, & 12...and beyond!

The main saga is the meat and potatoes of SW. Disney would be stupid NOT to continue it. Spinoffs will be fun ways of filling in the main storyline, but won't have the same importance IMO. Stopping the current saga after 9 is to forfeit billions of dollars.

 

Well the next generation of heroes do deserve their own trilogy.

 

To quoth the green froggy guy... "a long term contract I have signed, I will be makin' these movies till the end of time"

I have confirmed there is a rumor, which is rumored to have confirmation... but I have no confirmation on the confirmation yet...

 

Yeah, that NJO line is what I was referring too.

 

Earlier this year Bob Iger teased a possibility of more trilogies after Episode IX when he said "Episode VIII will be out in 2017 and we'll finish "this trilogy" in 2019". I suspect another trilogy will start in 2021. Will that trilogy be Episodes X-XII? Let's hope so! I would love to see the continuation of the adventures of Poe Dameron and Rey and Finn a few years after Luke,Han and Leia are long gone and perhaps Luke is a force ghost. Poe could and he is rumored to by SpoilerBro to inherit the Millennium Falcon from Han and perhaps get together with Rey and get married and have kids who become a new generation of Jedi Knights or will Rey get together with Finn and marry and have new Jedi bouncing on their knees. The new Jedi kids of the fourth trilogy could face a new threat to the rebuilt New Republic like an alien invasion from outside the known galaxy a la NJO or planetary insuurection a la Legacy of the Force or simply the remnants of the First Order.

If the next trilogy after Episode IX is episodes X-XII. Than we could see Episode X in 2021,Episode XI in 2023 and Episode XII in 2025. Perhaps the next trilogy after that could be a Obi-Wan/Darth Vader trilogy with Ewan Macgregor set between ROTS and ANH with Obi-Wan travelling around the galaxy rescuing any remaining Jedis from Vader or an Old Republic trilogy set thousands of years before ANH with the first film coming summer 2027(the 50th anniversary of SW).

 

I hope we don't go straight into the next trilogy. Keep the numbered episode trilogies generational. Maybe do a kotor trilogy between 7/8/9 and 10/11/12. A trilogy is hard on an actor. We don't want the new main 3 locked into SW films for 12+ years in a row. Actors are creative people and want to try out new things.

 

I think it could work for actors to do two SW trilogies now that Disney owns the franchise. Also depending on what happens in Episode IX. Perhaps Darth Plagieus will rise as the new Sith Lord in Episodes VIII or IX and might not be defeated and he could be an antagonist for Episodes X-XII where perhaps the kids of the main 3 will have to defeat him. Perhaps Episodes X-XII could deal with the kids of the new main 3 and the main 3 could be in mentor roles like the original cast will be to the new main 3 in TFA and Episodes VIII and IX.

 

I was with you up to the word Plagueis...

 

Perhaps TFA and Episodes VIII and IX will be about the war between The First Order and the resistance. And at the end of Episode IX the resistance becomes the New Republic and perhaps Episodes X-XII will be about the New Republic and the struggles to keep it together while battling the remnants of the First Order.

 

I want the trilogies to be somewhat self contained. If EP 9 ends on a cliff hanger, leading into EP 10, I'd be pissed. Doing a franchise continously for 12 years would prolly be bad for the star as well. They could get burned out or worried about typecasting. Jackman has done wolvie a bunch of times, but the x-men are spaced out enough that he is in tons of other films as well. If Ridley, for example, blows up in a big way, she'd be wise to capitalize on it.

 

Episode IX would definitely not end on a cliff hanger but leave some threads open to do Episodes X-XII like the New Republic forming, Rey and Poe getting married and having kids ,Finn becoming a Jedi at the end of Episode IX or remnants of the First Order surviving the acpolyptic space battle of Episode IX and coming back for the fourth trilogy much like the remnants of the Empire surviving ROTJ and coming back in TFA.

I still don't see any reason why Episode X would still come out in 2021 and have it set a few years or a decade after Episode IX with the the new cast playing a bit older versions of themselves passing on the torch to their kids and the next generation after them.

 

That's very fair. I kinda want to have the trilogies align a little bit with real life generations, but I get that isn't too realistic anymore.

I also want to see a KOTR trilogy. This could give me what I want, and have a little breathing room between main trilogies.

 

I think that the ST is the first trilogy of a new six movie arc. If the previous 6 were about the rise,fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker. Then there will be another six movie series about the rise and/or fall of either Rey or Finn as they become a Jedi and one turns to the dark side or Rey and/or Finn don't officially become Jedi Knights until Episode IX and Episodes X-XII deal with their adventures as Jedi Knights and fight likely the remnants of the First Order if they are defeated in Episode IX. Perhaps Rey will get together with Poe Dameron and have kids by Episode IX and Episodes X-XII will be about them and their kids becoming Jedi Knights and the next best star pilots in the galaxy.

I hope the schedule is as follows:
The Force Awakens 2015
Rogue One 2016
Episode VIII 2017
Second anthology film with Boba Fett 2018
Episode IX 2019
Third Anthology film with Han Solo 2020
Episode X 2021
Anthology film 2022
Episode XI 2023
Anthology film 2024
Episode XII 2025

 

Sean Connery did six James Bond movies over nearly ten years and Roger Moore did seven Bond films over 12 years. I see no reason why Daisy Ridley, Oscar Issac and John Boyega can't do six Star Wars films (VII-IX and X-XII) over nearly ten years. Also I hear Pinewood is booked to do SW films over ten years. Maybe Episodes X-XII will film there too and be released from 2021-2025.

 

you know they're not stopping at 9, and doing more then 3 anthologies. I think 10 11 12 will not have han leia and luke tho.

 

I know Luke Han and Leia will not be in Episodes X-XII. They are going to focus likely on an older Finn, Rey and Poe Dameron years after Episode IX and after Luke,Han and Leia are long dead. And perhaps 30 years down the road in 2045 there will be Episodes XIII-XV where perhaps a 70 year old Rey,Finn and Poe pass the torch to the next generation.

By the way who would make a good antagonist for Episodes X-XII? The remnants of the First Order? Planetary systems seperating from the New Reformed Republic and going up against it like Legacy of the Force? A new Sith Order perhaps a Lost tribe of the Sith with their own armada of ships like in Fate of the Jedi or how about an invasion from the Unknown Regions like NJO, The Dark Nest trilogy or The Truce at Bakura or even an alien warlord and his own fleet of ships like Nuso Esva from Choices of One? I'd go either way. Either way I hope to see some new enemies in Episodes X-XII and beyond and of course I hope they come out from 2021-2025.

 

I think there will be another six-movie arc consisiting of Episodes VII-XII telling the adventures of Rey,Finn and Poe Dameron and perhaps their kids and perhaps another one after that.

Here's the list of the SW six-movie arcsast,present and future.

Episodes I-VI deals with the rise,fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker 1977-2005

Episodes VII-XII deals with the adventures of Rey,Finn and Poe Dameron 2015-2025??

Episodes XIII-XVIII deals with the children or descendants of Rey,Finn and Poe Dameron and/or the next generation of heroes after them. 2039-2049???
