STAR WARS: EPISODE X is taking shape and the Skywalker Saga may not be over after all. Albert, Chris, and Kirsty are LIVE tonight to break down the huge reports surrounding the next chapter of Star Wars on the big screen. Jon Watts, director of the Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy and co-creator of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, is attached to direct the first film in Simon Kinberg\u2019s new Star Wars trilogy, with Kinberg writing the screenplay. Daisy Ridley is also expected to return as Rey in some capacity. But that may not even be the biggest part of this story. The new films are once again being described as the next episodes of the \u201cSkywalker Saga.\u201d What exactly does that mean? The Rise of Skywalker was marketed as the conclusion of the nine-film Skywalker Saga. So if Episode X really is continuing that saga, whose story are we continuing? Is Rey Skywalker the bridge between the first nine episodes and a completely new generation? Could other characters from the sequel trilogy return? And does calling this the \u201cSkywalker Saga\u201d give us our first real clue about what Episode X will actually be about? We dig into everything we know so far (who\u2019s writing, who\u2019s directing, who may be starring) and then get into our theories about where Episode X could take the story after The Rise of Skywalker...
