The new movie of Star Wars, with a script by Damon Lindelof, will have a black protagonist. This is stated by some sources that have privileged information and that also assure that some other projects are buried.
On the continuity of the universe Star Wars On the big screen there is a lot of information fog. Since we saw disappear from the calendar Rogue Squadron, which would be directed by Patty Jenkins, little was known about further film projects. That film would have to be released in theaters during 2023.
Therefore, the LucasFilms executives design a plan B where priority will not be given to spin offs and prequels. Instead it is intended to continue the continuity of the main saga, despite the disastrous result that was The rise of Skywalker.
The most recent information on that road is held by the podcast The Hot Mic. First that source revealed that the next movie of Star Wars It was already written by Damon Lindelof. That scriptwriter and producer achieved fame mainly thanks to his work in the series lost almost 20 years ago. However, from then on she managed to form a career full of acclaim and successes such as the series The Leftovers or the recent Watchman. The author also used the pen to polish the renaissance in the cinema of star trek.
The choice of Disney to script the film seems natural and apparently such material is already ready. So much so that the driver Jeff Sneider reported in his podcast that the process of casting It would have already started and a person of color is being sought for the leading role.
“I heard that the protagonist [de la película de Star Wars de Damon Lindelof] it will be a person of color and probably, although it is not confirmed, it is what I interpreted, it will be a man. I couldn’t get a specific name or ethnicity,” Sneider said.
However, the podcast host has since received conflicting reports about the gender of the next star of Star Wars. Initially, Jeff took to his social networks to update the first information provided: “I have heard that the colored protagonist of Lindelof’s film is actually a woman, not a man as he had originally thought.” Hours later, Sneider deleted said tweet and mentioned that his original source reiterated that he will be a man.
Original source reached out to say someone’s fucking with me and it’s a guy, so who knows? I don’t care, it’s Friday night. AMA that’s not about STAR WARS! https://t.co/bfg6GttVmw

“The original source reached out to tell me that someone is playing me and [el protagonista de la película de Star Wars de Lindelof] It’s a guy, so who knows?” Jeff Sneider wrote.
Sneider previously shared his suspicions that the movie Star Wars with Taika Waititi (Thor: Love and Thunder) was already cancelled. He also believes that the announcement of the film written by Damon Lindelof, and which occupies the attention of this text, will be announced during the celebrations and conventions of the saga in April. And its premiere would be scheduled for the end of 2025.
All of the above should be taken as a rumor. Although it is stated that production will begin with filming during the summer of this year.
