It’s no secret that Star Wars has been stuck in an awkward phase. There was no clear path forward for the franchise after the polarizing 2019 release of The Rise of Skywalker, so Lucasfilm threw everything at the wall to see what would stick. TV shows were launched, books were written, and whole movie trilogies were given the green light before being quietly canceled.
In December 2020, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy announced 10 new streaming series, including shows that have come and gone, like Ahsoka and The Acolyte. Also announced were a slew of projects that never made it off the ground, like Rangers of the New Republic and A Droid Story. Now, a new quote from Kennedy reveals that while Lucasfilm is trying to be more discerning with new projects, the Star Wars universe is still more open than we thought.
