The news released earlier this year has quickly ignited the fan community. The idea of having a star like Ryan Gosling in the far, far away galaxy could really give a boost to the saga.
According to Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, this film would be "a standalone Star Wars, taking place five or six years after The Rise of Skywalker," as she indicated to Deadline. In short, there will be no legendary Jedi or familiar galactic battles, but an original story. Kennedy hinted that this film could open a new era for the saga in cinema.
If this film comes to fruition, it could mark a turning point. The audience seems tired of episodic trilogies and is looking for something new. A standalone Star Wars, led by a star and a competent director, could be Lucasfilm's best idea in a long time.
