Star Wars has faced challenges after the divisive 2019 release of The Rise of Skywalker, leading to numerous projects being announced and canceled. Kathleen Kennedy, President of Lucasfilm, advocates for standalone narratives that allow for diverse storytelling. During a recent event, she emphasized the potential for new filmmakers to share unique stories that don't necessarily connect to existing Star Wars lore. The upcoming film Star Wars: Starfighter will exemplify this direction as a standalone movie, highlighting a potential shift away from interconnected narratives.

...it's broadened the possibility of stories and filmmakers we can bring in to tell stories that mean something to them.
