Kathleen Kennedy Teases Plans For Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Characters

The Star Wars sequel trilogy is quite a unique entry into the universe. On one hand, it gave fans two of the best entries in the franchise. On the other, it created a divide between fans that has yet to be close. 2 years after the conclusion of the trilogy, Kathleen Kennedy has hinted that we haven’t seen the last of those characters.

Kathleen Kennedy spoke with Empire in their upcoming Book of Boba Fett issue to tease that they do have plans for the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy characters.

Certainly, those are not characters we’re going to forget. They will live on, and those are conversations that are going on with the creative team as well.

Kennedy also spoke about the “emotional” reunion between Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen in Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi. Kennedy added,

The thing that was most exciting was being on the set and watching the two of them get excited,

They hadn’t seen one another in a long time. I was surprised at just how incredibly emotional it was for each of them to find themselves back in these roles, and just realizing how important Star Wars was to each of them. It was the beginning of their careers.”
