    My answer is yes. I firmly believe the SW Franchise should continue to be about the decedents of Schmi Skywalker. Mainly decendants of the Chosen One Anakin but it honestly started with Schmi.

    We have currently 1 known Skywalker that can continue the Skywalker bloodline. Should the story group include kids for Ben Solo?

    Either that or Luke needs to have had kids or needs to have kids to continue the bloodline.

    Most of the other Jedi did not seem to have children, Chewbacca had kids. Did Rex the ST have children?

    Did Boba have offspring?

    If Kylo Ren gets redeemed and survives EPIX, then yes, there should be another generation of the Skywalkers in further movies. But if he's dying, then a new family (probably Rey's family) should become the new centre of the Stat Wars saga.

    Not necessarily, in my opinion. They still have the chance to make Rey Luke's daughter, but even if she wasn't, there's already a Skywalker in the saga: Kylo Ren. Don't forget that one of the most diffuse threads in classic epic/tragic litterature, since ancient greek, is the broken dinasty. Kylo Ren is the black sheep in the Skywalker family, and I believe its legacy will rely on his shoulders, more than on Rey's.

    There is no SW without the Skywalkers.
    And for all of our sakes...except Fux's, Kylo needs to be redeemed. So does Rey.
    Then they can get busy...with the new generation of Skywalkers. Im thinking...twins again.
    :D

    I don't see how they can make more films in the near future as a continuation of the Sequel Trilogy. They have to wait until the heroes from this trilogy are older, assuming they are going to do the same thing they did with this trilogy in terms of the old heroes. And to be honest, I feel like at some point, they could mess it up big time.

    I really don't see a need for another Skywalker trilogy after this one, at least for a long time. Just focus on the Anthology films and other projects for a while. We'll still be satisfied and there will still be tons of new Star Wars material. They can't continue the Skywalker saga for forever.

    Yeah, I would like to see this continued as the main saga films to see where the bloodline goes.

    I like the structure they've come up with: Saga films for Skywalkers and Anthology films for everybody else.

    I imagine Kylo will be redeemed at some point and have children. Then the next trilogy will feature some of those children and so on ad infinitum.

    George Lucas has described the Skywalker family as the core of the franchise, and i think it should stay that way. They don't necessary have to be on the front lines in every scene, but every Episode should have them as a pivotal character.

    If Rey's just Rey that leaves us only with Kylo. Did Disney think that Mark & Carrie will both live to 90 or something?

    I only say that cuz I don't c Ben/Ren living past 9 good or bad.

    The Episodes should and will always be about the Skywalker family. Actually, Kathleen Kennedy confirmed this a while ago, although I can't remember which interview.

    It is very likely, however, that they're going to create many other divisions of Star Wars films. Just like with the Anthology series, it's possible that we're going to get Chapters, Parts, etc.

    Absolutely! Though spin offs such as RO work perfectly to explore other characters.

    I personally wouldn't mind seeing a KOTOR movie.

    I absolutely believe the saga films (and therefore the Skywalker films) should end at 9. While I'd be perfectly happy with spin-offs and new trilogies set in different eras (old republic, etc) continuing forever -- since that's Disney's plan, anyway -- I'd feel like the main saga would become repetitive, predictable and mere fan-fiction.

    Here's why:

    1. It deviates from George Lucas' vision for the saga. It's generally accepted that he planned 9 films. 3 sets of trilogies. 3 generations of Skywalkers. Yes, there have been hints and rumbles over the years about a 12 movie cycle, but Lucas even amended that statement by saying the 3 additional films beyond the 9 would likely be spin-off movies, just like we're seeing today with R1, Solo and (maybe) Kenobi. Also, he has always made it abundantly clear that the saga was always about Skywalkers, so they MUST be a part of the numbered episodes.

    2. Whether Disney utilized much of it, George DID influence the outline of 7-9, if only by suggesting it would be about the original cast in their 70s and about Luke's further adventures. As far as I'm concerned, 7-9 are still legitimate "canon" simply because they adhere to this original concept. However, a 4th trilogy would exist without the original cast (with Luke maybe playing a force ghost, at most) and Luke's adventures would be over. It would reflect none of his original vision. Love him or hate him, George IS Star Wars and to have him completely erased from the franchise just isn't right.

    3. Sadly, the talent behind the OT will essentially all have passed or retired by the time a 4th trilogy is made. Imagine a new trilogy without John Williams (85) Ben Burtt (71), and Anthony Daniels (who is 71 and who plays a character George said would appear in every SW film along with R2-D2). Plus, there's no way there'll be any usable Ralph McQuarrie art left un-mined by that point. So essentially, everyone who made music, sound and art for the SW we know and love will be gone.

    4. How many times can a young character discover they have great power, be tempted by the dark side, discover dark familial connections and battle an Army of The Republic/Empire/First order? There's a general framework to every trilogy and it'll be completely exhausted after 9 films.

    5. There will never be a sense of a finality and of a complete story being told if they just drag it out ad nauseum. How can there be any impact to defeating a galactic enemy if you know it's all just going to start over the same way, again and again and again?

    For those of us that grew up with Star Wars, it's always been the dream to see all 9 films. Just let us see the circle be completed without constantly moving the finish line. Please continue making SW movies, but along a different story line.



    P.S. Read the Star Wars "ring theory". It's awesome and 12 movies would kinda muck that all up.

    I think an interesting route to go would be to have a standalone story set way later (there should barely be anyone still alive from the current movies). Following a character named Skywalker who is trying to discover his past, along the way he would begin to uncover secrets about the Jedi (assuming Luke does in fact end it in TLJ). This Skywalker would have been trained by his father who would be dead. Eventually we'd find out that at some point Luke inadvertently used the force to create a child (like what Palps and Plagueis did to Shmi). I'd have it be Luke's death that way he doesn't seem as scumbaggy for not knowing what he did. This would lead to this new Skywalker to reach out in the force and we'd see force ghost Luke. Luke would give him the download on the Skywalkers and Jedi stuff. The main plot of the film can be something revolving around the discovery of ancient Sith/Jedi relics which would start the whole conflict, maybe make it like Indiana Jones in the Star Wars world. Maybe end it with this new Skywalker setting out to find other force sensitive children in the hopes of honoring his namesake and rebuilding the Jedi anew. My point in this is to say they don't necessarily have to keep Kylo alive just so he can procreate, there are other ways for the Skywalkers to continue without Luke or Ben's direct seed.

    Continuing the story with a Skywalker as a major player isn't necessarily a bad thing, if they do something different and break from the arcs they've had in the prequels, originals, and this sequel trilogy.

    I for one would love to see an adaptation of Dark Horse's Star Wars: Legacy, which takes place more than a century after the destruction of the Death Star II. Whereas all the Skywalkers have been either good or bad (and bouncing in between), Star Wars: Legacy introduces the current Skywalker, who is a junkie that only uses the force when he needs to, fairly different from his ancestors. Overall I think the story could be adapted quite well, but if there is fear of not being different enough from the classic films, I would have no problem with any changes to the films, as long as they are for the better.

    It is also important to expand the universe, so I also support any non-main-saga stories. We can't waste the expansive universe that has been created, with all the planets and creatures that have stories to them!

    Overall, if Episode 9 was the last "Skywalker" film, I would be a little sad, but then realize that there is more universe to be explored in other media, like TV and video games. I'm just happy to see anything Star Wars related!
