Speaking with MTV News, Kennedy was asked about a possible Knights of the Old Republic project directly when she confirmed there is a project officially on the table but remained tight-lipped on any further details. Details on future Star Wars films remain under wraps, however, Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and DB Weiss are set to develop a new trilogy. The duo will work closely with Rian Johnson who is also developing a trilogy of his own. Together they will work to create the next saga in the Star Wars franchise.
In addition to confirming a Knights of the Old Republic movie, Kennedy also confirmed Lucasfilm is looking for female directors to helm entries in the franchise once its future is planned out. Lucasfilm has been criticized in the past for its lack of diversity amongst its directors. You can check out what Kennedy had to say in the video below.
