‘Star Wars’: Damon Lindelof’s film will take place after ‘the Rise of Skywalker’, but will not be a direct sequel

Just a few days ago, we echoed the information that placed Damon Lindelof, the “Lost” showrunner, behind the development of a new “Star Wars” movie.. In turn, Academy Award winner Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy would be in charge of directing the film. However, practically nothing else was known about the film. Also, The Hollywood Reporter has now revealed a few more details about the next film in the hit galactic saga..

‘Star Wars’: Damon Lindelof’s film will take place after ‘the Rise of Skywalker’, but will not be a direct sequel

According to the reputable US portal, Justin Britt-Gibson would be the person who will write the title alongside Lindelof.. He is a rising young screenwriter, who has already worked as executive editor of ‘The Strain’ with Guillermo del Toro, and who wrote a few episodes of ‘Contrapartida’, the series starring JK Simmons.

Apparently, the film would be thought of as an independent project, although like everything else, if successful it could lead to more deliveries. This approach directly collides with the previous development process carried out by Lucasfilm, where the company sought to create new trilogies. After “Han Solo: A Star Wars Story” became the franchise’s first title to lose money, the film company suspended the release of films to focus on series like “The Mandalorian” or “Andor” to power Disney +. Since then, only “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” has been released in theaters and, according to sources, This new film will be set after the events that occurred during the film. However, the film will not be a sequel as such, although some of the characters from this recent trilogy may appear..

How was this new film designed?

The project came after this year’s Star Wars Day celebration. A secret room of writers, including Britt-Gibson and Lindelof, began to develop this idea.. Among the rest of the people present were other names such as Patrick Somerville, creator of ‘Estación Once’; Rayna McClendo, producer of “Obi-Wan Kenobi” and author of the upcoming “Willow” series; Andy Greenwald, creator of “Briarpatch”; and even Dave Filoni, a protege of George Lucas himself who has already participated in multiple franchise titles.
