INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Star Wars movies might be going away until 2022, but as we know, the franchise never really takes a break now
Project Luminous is a Lucasfilm Publishing-led project that was announced all the way back in April 2019 as part of Star Wars: Celebration
Now, we're very close to learning what it is.If you're only interested in Star Wars movies and TV shows, this will probably not be worth
getting too excited about
Publishing means books and comics, and so far we only know about the involvement of authors and publishers in the project
But in a post-The Rise of Skywalker world, it may give us hints about how Lucasfilm is plotting the future of the series in terms of setting
and types of story it wants to tell
writers are involved, and rumors of where in the Star Wars universe it will take us
the Star Wars universe, and has so far been revealed as a collaboration between Disney Lucasfilm Publishing, Marvel Comics, IDW Publishing
Announced back in April 2019 at Star Wars: Celebration, it's a project led by Lucasfilm Publishing's Mike Siglain
It was previously known internally as the All-Star Initiative, and it's been in the works since at least summer 2018
Writer Charles Soule described it as a "massive Star Wars event".In a promotional image released at NYCC 2019, Project Luminous was teased

Del Rey's Star Wars Books Twiter account teased the reveal above on Friday
The official Star Wars account mentioned a reveal event is happening on Monday night, and to keep an eye on its social channels
take place in the High Republic eraThis is all rumor, and it's worth treating it as such
A report on Making Star Wars suggests Project Luminous will be set in the High Republic era of the Star Wars universe, which is apparently
400 years before the Skywalker Saga
"For some time, I have heard that Project Luminous was a build up to the next film era which my sources are calling The High Republic era,"
But, it's still worth keeping expectations in check, because there are no official details about those films right now other than their
comic written by Charles Soule from January 2020
"The galaxy was not as settled as it is now," is how the era was characterized
The Rise of Kylo Ren, also written by Soule, mentioned the High Republic era too.Where the movies go next is a total mystery, and a lot
anything to do with the Star Wars movies?Like we said, it seems to be a publishing initiative
