A New Trilogy is Exactly What Star Wars Needs
It was announced this week that Rian Johnson, the director of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, will be conceiving and writing the first of a brand new trilogy of Star Wars feature films that will not bear the series' trademark Roman numerals. It sounds like this new trilogy will be set apart from the lives of Luke Skywalker and General Leia, and will not involve Rey, Finn, or any of the characters introduced in The Force Awakens. It will look at a brand new, heretofore unexplored area of the Star Wars universe, and will involve – according to what little we know so far – new characters exclusively.
It's about time.

Ever since, gosh, Return of the Jedi, the Star Wars series has slipped into a comfortable circular track where it can only surround the same story points and characters time and time again, looking ever inward. The Star Wars universe has always tantalized audiences with weird aliens, vast, distant planets, mythic realms, magical powers, and endless, endless potential. But for years, it's only been exploring the smaller and smaller details of a well-known set of established scenarios that are becoming far too familiar.
