Get ready for more stories from a galaxy far, far away. Kathleen Kennedy, the president of Lucasfilm, is currently mapping the next decade of the "Star Wars" franchise.
The studio is currently in "Star Wars" revival mode and is reaping the success of their efforts. The first film in the sequel trilogy, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" made the franchise even bigger than anyone could have anticipated and the anthology film that followed, "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," proved that there are a lot of other good stories to tell aside from the main Skywalker saga.
Kennedy recently sat down with Andi Gutierrez on The Star Wars Show to give the lowdown on what Lucasfilm is up to. She was also asked about the map that they are making along with the Lucasfilm story group.
"We're sitting down now, we're talking about the next ten years of 'Star Wars' stories, and we're looking at narratively where that might go," she said.
She added that they working on future stories beyond "Episode IX" with a new set of characters in Rey (Daisy Ridley), Poe (Oscar Isaac), Finn (John Boyega) and BB-8. Aside from that, the Lucasfilm group is also interested in working with people who want to take "Star Wars" to places that they haven't explored yet.
Kennedy ended her statement by saying, "It's a vast galaxy far, far away, so the possibilities are endless."
From the looks of it, "Star Wars" is clearly just in the early phases of its comeback and it will continue to be a franchise giant in the years to come. It is a comforting note to know that Kennedy has plans beyond the current trilogy and even has plans to expand the "Star Wars" universe through its original stories.
Fans can look forward to "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" and "Solo: A Star Wars Story" will be dropping into theaters in the next couple of months.
