Part 5/8:
The Broader Context: Lucasfilm's Direction
This new project arrives amidst ongoing speculation about Lucasfilm’s overall direction post-The Skywalker Saga. The company appears to be exploring various avenues to diversify its storytelling, including multiple live-action series set in different eras.
Currently, Ahsoka, another female-led project, is highly anticipated, with many expecting it to feature Rosario Dawson’s beloved character. The announcement of yet another female-centric series indicates a possible strategic emphasis on female-led narratives, though critics worry about balancing these stories with the established male-centric lore and ensuring cohesive storytelling.
