“Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” signaled the end of the Skywalker Saga of Star Wars films. Rumors immediately kicked up about the new Star Wars movie, and some are beginning to gain ground on the internet.
What’s going on: Recent reports suggest that the next Star Wars film will focus on the High Republic era, which lasts between the end of the Jedi-Sith War and the beginning of The Clone Wars, according to Forbes.
- The period happened about 400 years before the Star Wars prequel series.
- The time period is after the events seen in “Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.”
New evidence: Lucasfilm and Disney may have hinted at the new era based on a Star Wars comic book that dropped this week.
- In “The Rise of Kylo Ren,” Luke Skywalker, Ben Solo and Lor San Tekka — the old man seen at the beginning of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” — consult about finding artifacts to help save the Jedi Order, according to ComicBook.com.
- Lor San Tekka reveals history of the High Republic era, which is fueling rumors that the new Star Wars movie will take place during that time.
- Lor San Tekka: “I think after all my wanderings, I can recognize the description of a Jedi outpost when I hear it, Luke... It’s probably High Republic era. It was a time of greatly expanded Jedi activity throughout the galaxy.”
