Dominic Monaghan, who appeared in the most recent Star Wars film The Rise of Skywalker, shares his thoughts on the future of the franchise. The Star Wars franchise has evolved in several ways since the title was acquired by Disney in 2012. Following creator George Lucas's decision to take a step back from overseeing the series, the Mouse House passed the reins on to modern filmmakers like J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson.

While several more Star Wars films have been announced and are set to be directed by respected filmmakers like Taika Waititi, Patty Jenkins, and Johnson, several of them have stalled in development.
"I think they're telling different stories with different characters in the Star Wars universe, and I just wonder if maybe after focusing so heavily on Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Ewan McGregor, and Hayden Christensen, maybe they should quite rightly be telling stories from female points of view or from different people's points of view. So, I'll just sit and wait."
Monaghan's take scratches the surface of a contentious disagreement between different sides of the Star Wars fandom. While the Disney+ series have been very successful and have carried on the franchise by telling new stories, the split Star Wars fandom, consisting of many followers who've criticized the franchise's use of female and POC actors in major roles, has made for a hazardous environment to release projects into.
While Monaghan's take may be controversial among certain sects of Star Wars fans, he definitely has a point in regards to depicting diverse stories and representation even in a galaxy far, far away. Both The Mandalorian and Andor are lead by Latino actors, and Daisy Ridley's Rey has given a voice to so many young girls growing up watching the Star Wars films.
Wow truly thinking outside of the box with that one
No offense to Dominic, but I can't quite classify his role in RoS as 'star' worthy. At best, he was a flickering lightbulb with a crack in it.
I think it should be shut down. The Disney rush of material made bad product apart Mandalorian heavily damaging the brand and reducing fan interest. Just stop producing and bring out the original 3 films in original format in HD for fans to buy.
Star wars been doing what this clown suggested for years now
I must be slow cus i dont l know what he is saying.
