Here are Kathleen Kennedy’s latest statements on future films:
On when we’ll hear about the next spin-off:
I think we’re getting close. My hope would be sometime around the summer. I never want to predict the creative process because it is its own thing, so we’re in the midst of those discussions right now.
On what their plans are for the main saga films. Whether they’ll continue the adventures of Rey or take a break and start over in another era after IX:
It’s interesting you ask that, because I’m sure everybody would love for me to say, ’Oh yeah we’ve got this figured out for the next 20 years.’ No, we spend a lot of time talking, debating, watching, looking at what connects with ourselves, with the audience, all of that is a part of our decision-making. We’re asking those questions right now. We’ll make a decision soon.
