Star Wars is from the adventures of Luke Skywalker, with the character dead and retired its run its course.

Except for spinoffs and jumping around in the timeline there is nowhere to go, no story.

And Return of the Jedi is not the issue, the EU went on for 25 years expanding beyond the Star Wars trilogy.

The issue is Disney SW, they have nowhere to go. Except to move beyond the Skywalkers and the sequel trilogy and into the future.

In between VI and VII, or into the future or the past.

It’s a super old almost 50 year old children’s film from 1977, Star Wars. You can only do so much with it, heroes with laser swords and ray guns, space ships. princesses and Wookiees.

Then again with Dune all you have is Arrakis and the Spice. Its a great novel but its also very old.

What we need is fresh IP and new science fiction. Or stuff on film or in television that has never been adapted.
