With Disney wrapping up the Skywalker saga with this Christmas's Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, the place does the film collection set in a galaxy far, distant flip subsequent for inspiration?
The reply, it now appears, is to the Star Wars pc video games. In response to a report from Buzzfeed News, a brand new film based mostly on Bioware's Knights of the Previous Republic collection is within the works.
A script is claimed to be within the works by author and producer Laeta Kalogridis, with the group "ending the primary script of a possible KotOR trilogy", in response to "three sources," near the matter.
The subsequent era
The information follows a tease by Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy again on the Star Wars Celebration occasion in April, the place she stated the studio was "creating one thing to take a look at" based mostly on the gaming franchise.
Kalogridis has labored on some huge identify tasks through the years, most just lately as showrunner on Netflix's Altered Carbon collection, with different credit together with Alexander, Shutter Island, Terminator Genisys and Alita: Battle Angel. That is a combined bag, to place it kindly.
Earlier than you get your hopes up, a script being in improvement doesn't imply a remaining movie can be produced in fact, and the present era of Star Wars movie improvement has been fraught with false begins.
However Bioware's story-driven RPG collection, set hundreds of years earlier than Luke Skywalker is born, is fertile floor for adaptation, with the battle between the Sith and Jedi at its peak. With two single participant video games and an entire MMO's value of content material to tug from (to not point out many a comic book ebook), there are lots of instructions the movie might go in too.
