Simon Kinberg recently opened up about what inspiration he’s drawing on to create a new Star Wars film trilogy.
What did Simon Kinberg say about his Star Wars trilogy?
Speaking to ScreenRant in a new interview, Kinberg stressed the importance of striking a balance when it comes to Star Wars. With that in mind, Kinberg teased that projects like Andor and Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back are some of his favorite Star Wars projects.
“My favorite of the Star Wars movies is Empire Strikes Back, and it’s because the balance between the epic and the intimate is so strong in that they’re such personal stories,” Kinberg said. “The stakes are really personal, and yet, obviously, there’s all kinds of great science fiction. I think Andor did an extraordinary job of that, as well. It was such an emotional, intense, personal show that also had, obviously, massive stakes to it, and politics, and all of that.”
As it stands, little to nothing is known about Kinberg’s trilogy of films. The filmmaker is best known for directing films like Sherlock Holmes, The 355, and more.
The next Star Wars movie will be The Mandalorian and Grogu, which arrives on May 22, 2026. A continuation of The Mandalorian Disney+ show, the film is being directed by Jon Favreau and produced by Dave Filoni. Pedro Pascal will reprise his role as Din Djarin, while the cast also includes Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White.
After that, Star Wars: Starfighter will be released on May 28, 2027. Shawn Levy directs the film starring Ryan Gosling, which will be set after the events of The Rise of Skywalker.
