Star Wars has announced that Jon Watts, the director of the recent Spider‑Man film series and co‑creator of the animated show Skeleton Crew, will helm the first film of a new trilogy of Skywalker Saga movies. The series is set to become the tenth installment in the franchise.
Watts will guide the first film in a trilogy written by Simon Kinberg, who has previously contributed to the Star Wars universe. The decision follows the franchise’s recent shift to a new creative direction after the release of the previous Skywalker films.
Watts is best known for directing Spider‑Man: Homecoming (2017) and its sequels, as well as co‑creating the animated series Skeleton Crew. His appointment marks a departure from the directors who previously led the Skywalker saga.
Details about the film’s release date and production schedule remain undisclosed at this time, but the announcement signals a fresh start for the long‑running franchise.
