WithStar Wars: Episode IXset to conclude the Skywalker Saga in just a few months, it’s now time to start thinking ahead to what happens next.

So, forget aboutRian Johnson’s upcoming trilogyfor a moment, because a brand new Disney relationship has been forged to deliver yet another venture into a galaxy far, far away – and it’s a little unexpected.

Carving out a new future forStar Wars– and perhaps even the MCU – is Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige, who will work alongside Kathleen Kennedy and the Lucasfilm team to a “pursue a new era inStar Warsstorytelling “.

We were expecting big things fromMarvel’s Phase 5, but we can’t say aStar Warsmash-up was one of them.

Thankfully, despite Feige’s involvement, that doesn’t look to be the case any time soon – definitely for the best.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalkerhas a release date of Thursday, December 19 in the UK and Friday, December 20 in the US.
