Kathleen Kennedy Promises THE FORCE AWAKENS Will Continue The Skywalker Story
Obviously both Luke & Leia will be representing the Skywalker clan come December, but fans have always expected to see the next generation of the famous family appear in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Now, Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy seems to have confirmed it...
While conducting what looked to be a fairly routine interview with Costco Connection, executive producer and Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy seemed to confirm something fans have heavily speculated about. While distinguishing between the episodic 'Saga' movies and the upcoming 'Anthology' films, she stated, "The Saga films focus on the Skywalker family saga. The stories follow a linear narrative that connects to the previous six films…The Force Awakens follows Return Of The Jedi and continues that generational story.”
It's easy enough to read between the lines here and come to the conclusion that she's in fact claiming that the next generation of Skywalkers will feature in The Force Awakens. Many fans had already come to this conclusion as soon as the movie was announced, but it's the first official word we've heard about it. I know there are some spoilery details out there to be found about which character is secretly a Skywalker, but feel free to speculate below if you like!
Something tells me it's not Finn.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits theatres December 18, 2015.
