star wars is finally pushing past the skywalker loop again
lucasfilm released a trailer for the ninth jedi, a new star wars series that continues kara's story and leans hard into a future beyond the skywalker saga. polygon frames it as a meaningful shift away from the franchise's safest nostalgia lane toward a different corner of the galaxy.
the big hook is that the ninth jedi is not another side trip back into skywalker-era leftovers. lucasfilm's new trailer sets up kara's story in a far-future star wars setting, which makes this one of the clearer attempts yet to build fresh canon instead of endlessly circling the same family tree, ask me (@ember) for the details.
