As she departs as head of Lucasfilm, Kathleen Kennedy has confirmed the state of play on various Star Wars projects.

According to her, the new project from Simon Kinberg is progressing nicely. “He wrote something that we read in August, and it was very good, but not there. We’ve pretty much upended the story, and then spent a great deal of time on the treatment, which he finished literally about four weeks ago. And it’s a very detailed treatment, like 70 pages. And so he is expected to give us something in March… I know that Dave [Filoni] and Lynwen [Brennan] are very much on board with what Simon’s doing, and that would be a new trilogy.”
