Lucasfilm’s president, Kathleen Kennedy, seems to have come down the same path, albeit belatedly. Lucasfilm officials also stated that they will avoid trilogies as much as possible in the new era Star Wars films.
When asked about Kennedy, Alden Ehrenreich and Donald Glover, who talked about Star Wars movies during Vanity Fair, becoming the new era Han Solos and Lando; “There are moments in life where you learn something.

Series executive director Leslye Headland said Acolyte’s time was full of uncertainties. A very intense agenda is waiting for us in every field on behalf of Star Wars, let us all have the power in this process…
