I'm not sure if this would be the right place to post this, but ever since seeing Rise of Skywalker, I've begun to have ideas about what a new trilogy of movies set after it would be like, and I would like to express them in some way (without clogging up the main Star Wars thread). Here's my very vague ideas. Feel free to add ideas of your own. Spoilers for all Star Wars movies might be found here!
Episode X: The Last Clone
Since Rise of Skywalker introduced a whole fleet of ships that each had a planet-destroying laser, it lead to another, apocalyptic war being fought some time later, in wich an arms race led to horrifyingly destructive weapons being unleashed, including new armies of clone soldiers. The movie is set many years after this war, when the galaxy is basically post-apocalyptic, without any central government, and almost all planets are isolated from each other. A small spaceship crash lands on a planet, carrying a warning that some Mysterious Evil Guys are coming with a deadly fleet. A group of heroes band together and travels across the planet in search of a legendary spaceship graveyard or hidden hangar full of spaceships or something like that, to use to fight this coming threat. The whole movie would take place on a single planet, with many different environments that the heroes travel through and explore (instead of there being a Desert Planet, Ice Planet, Jungle Planet, etc.). On their journeys, they run into an old hermit who turns out to be a clone soldier (so we can have old Temuera Morrison in the movie!), and he reluctantly helps the heroes find the spaceships. The movie ends with a space battle against the fleet of the Mysterious Evil Guys, and then the heroes sets of into the galaxy to find out where the Mysterious Evil Guys came from.
Episode XI: Curse of the Jedi
I guess there would be a lot of space adventures and journeys to different planets, but finally the heroes ends up on Coruscant, which was attacked by a terrible bioweapon during the previous war. The weapon wiped out all life on the planet, but left the buildings standing, making the whole planet one big ghost city. Deep in its bowels they find a stasis pod containing Rey. When they wake her up, she seems to have gone slightly crazy, and reveals that after having All The Jedi in her head in Rise of Skywalker, the voices continued to talk to her, leading her to Coruscant, but too late to stop the weapon, and leaving her trapped there. She joins up with the heroes (acting like their Wise But Flawed Mentor, like Obi-Wan and Luke did previously), and they find out that Coruscant is haunted by the ghosts of all the dead jedi, who reveal the various mistakes and failures of the old jedi order that lead to their destruction, teaching Rey what mistakes she should avoid repeating. Finally they manage to set the ghosts free to go to the afterlife, and keeps on looking for the home base of the Mysterious Evil Guys.
Episode XII: The Force of Others
I only have very vague ideas about this one. There would be some kind of final battle against the Mysterious Evil Guys, and we of course find out who they are. They would probably finally be defeated when one of the heroes realizes that The Force is in, and can be used by, all living creatures, not just those with a certain amount of midichlorians, and manages to channel the Force of every living being nearby (or maybe the whole galaxy) to defeat the Big Bad Guy (who might not actually be Bad).
As I said, my ideas are very vague. Who are the new young heroes? Who are the Mysterious Evil Guys? How are the ghosts freed? Will R2-D2 and C-3PO show up (yes)? I just wanted a trilogy that maybe fixes some of the mistakes of the previous films, without ignoring them or retconning them too much. I guess it's kind of fanfiction, but I don't think I have the skill or time to make it into an actual story.
