Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Spinoff Rumored—Fans Already Arguing Over Which Character It’ll Follow

by

It’s been revealed that Star Wars is working on a fourth standalone film, and this one could be quite controversial. Since the debut of the sequel trilogy in 2015, Star Wars has been experimenting with spin-off movies. This has resulted in films like Rogue One and Solo. Earlier there were ideas for more spin-offs, but their progress has stalled recently as Disney wants to be strategic about releasing Star Wars content.

It appears that a fresh report suggests Lucasfilm and Disney could be working on a fourth standalone Star Wars movie, joining titles such as “Solo” and “Rogue One,” along with the long-anticipated “Lando” project starring Donald Glover (who previously appeared in “Solo” and will reprise his role as Lando Calrissian). These are all spin-offs from different Star Wars films, either already released or scheduled within the Lucasfilm lineup.

As a dedicated Star Wars fan, I’ve learned from trusted insider Daniel Richtman that Lucasfilm is contemplating a spin-off film based on the sequel trilogy (Episodes VII – IX). This news is bound to ignite curiosity and discussion among fellow enthusiasts.

“Lucasfilm is discussing a spinoff film to the sequel trilogy. Unclear for which character.”

It’s unclear at this point who or what the main focus of this specific spin-off film will be, nor do we have a definite release date for the project yet, as Richtman has emphasized.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but express my thoughts about the prospect of a sequel trilogy spin-off. Given that Episodes VII, VIII, and IX didn’t exactly receive universal acclaim upon release and have since sparked even more debate as time has passed, this upcoming project might stir up emotions among fans who felt let down by the last three core Star Wars films.

Star Wars is all set to make a comeback to cinemas in May 2026, featuring Jon Favreau’s “The Mandalorian & Grogu”. This marks the beginning of a new chapter for the distant galaxy, with additional movies lined up for the enduring sci-fi franchise. These include Shawn Levy’s “Star Wars: Starfighter” and James Mangold’s debut film in the series titled “First Jedi movie”.

Every Other Star Wars Spin-Off Movie 

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

A Star Wars Story” marked a shift in the Star Wars franchise towards more standalone stories. It explored a previously speculated tale from George Lucas’s universe and delved into it deeply. The 2016 space-adventure spy film follows a group of characters who retrieved the plans for the Death Star, which ultimately led to the events depicted in “Star Wars: A New Hope”.

Upon its initial release, ‘Rogue One’ was warmly received by critics and subsequently earned a spin-off treatment with the popular two-season TV series ‘Andor.’ This show serves as a prequel to a prequel, focusing on the backstory of Diego Luna’s character, Cassian Andor.

Solo: A Star Wars Story

A Star Wars Story,” marked the end of the series under Lucasfilm’s “A Star Wars Story” label.

In this rephrased version:

The standalone movie, titled Han Solo, traces the transformation of the beloved interstellar outlaw into the formidable bounty hunter fans encounter in Episode IV. Directed by Ron Howard, it boasted Alden Ehrenreich, known for his roles as Oppenheimer and Ironheart, stepping into the iconic character’s shoes as a younger incarnation of Han Solo, replacing Harrison Ford.

Lando

The upcoming Star Wars movie, titled “Lando,” is centered around Donald Glover’s character, a suave space gambler previously portrayed by Billy Dee Williams in the original trilogy. Initially planned as a television series, the project was later revealed to be a film during Disney Investor Day 2020.

In 2023, it became known that the project was no longer a streaming series but instead transformed into a full-length movie. After this announcement, news about the Lando project has been scarce, leading some to speculate that it might have been canceled.
