Good News/Bad News About Jon Watts' STAR WARS: EPISODE X
Jon Watts (Spider-Man trilogy, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew) has been tapped to direct Star Wars: Episode X, a new Skywalker Saga trilogy written entirely by Simon Kinberg, with Daisy Ridley returning as Rey in a "minor role" that may expand later. The author argues it's disappointing that Lucasfilm is revisiting the Skywalker Saga rather than moving the franchise forward into new, unexplored eras, but finds reason for optimism: Disney has reportedly shelved Ridley's previously announced New Jedi Order film in favor of this new trilogy centered on fresh, largely unknown characters, and having one writer pen all three films (unlike the disjointed sequel trilogy) suggests a more coherent creative plan this time.
