StarWars.com has just announced that Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Rian Johnson, will be creating a brand new Star Wars trilogy that will be coming in the future. This trilogy will be separate from the Skywalker saga and will introduce new characters that have never been on screen before. There’s no word on what the movies will consist of or when then will be in theaters.
Since it was stated that it will be separate from the original and current trilogies, my wish is for it to be based on the Old Republic story which takes place about 3,600 years before A New Hope. Some of the major characters that are part of this storyline include Revan, Darth Malgus, Satele Shan, Jace Malcom, and so on. This could continue into the Jedi Civil War storyline where Darth Revan takes on Malak as his apprentice. Of course all of this is part of Star Wars Legends banner which isn’t canon anymore so I’m not sure if Lucasfilms will go that route.
Because LEGO has a licensing agreement with Lucasfilm, there’s no doubt that there will be some sets that will be released alongside this new trilogy. What would you like to see for these new movies? Let us know in the comments below.

On one hand, I feel like Disney is milking the cash cow for all it’s worth. On the other hand, “Yay, more Star Wars!”
I’m hoping for more Old Republic (or at least another chance at getting sets based on the MMO) or Rogue Squadron.
I feel the same
Agreed about the Old Republic one, Allen. It would be awesome to see Revan on the big screen!
If it makes Revan figures go down in price, I’ll take anything. The KOTOR games were some of my favorite childhood games.
Did the licencing get renewed with the Disney takeover or is it due for renegotiation in the next couple of years or so? It could have an impact on pricing.
The licence was last renewed in February 2012, prior to Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm in October of that year. I would imagine the contract until 2022 is still in effect.
I listen to a lot of Star Wars podcasts, and I’ve heard a bunch of people say they want to see the Old Republic brought to life either in film or tv. I think that sounds great and could provide potential for a lot of new sets. I really liked the old republic mmo tie-in sets from a couple years ago, and was sad they didn’t make the bounty hunter ship the Mantis; and a kotor style mando minifig of course.
