The next Star Wars story could be anything. It could explore different eras in the Star Wars universe or introduce completely new concepts. But as of now, there's no definite answer.
It's hard to say for sure. But it could be a story set in a different era of the Star Wars universe or involve some familiar faces in unexpected situations.
There's no word on when the next standalone Star Wars story will come out. It could be a few years away as they need to plan, film, and do post - production. They also need to make sure it fits well within the overall Star Wars timeline and meets the expectations of the fans. Plus, they might be waiting for the right cast and crew to become available before starting production in earnest.
Well, 'Master and Apprentice' is a great 'next Star Wars novel'. It focuses on the relationship between Qui - Gon Jinn and Obi - Wan Kenobi. It gives a lot of backstory and character development for both of them. And then there's 'Lost Stars', which is unique as it follows two characters, one in the Imperial Navy and one in the Rebel Alliance, providing different perspectives on the Galactic Civil War.
It could be about the discovery of a new Force-sensitive species. Maybe they live in a far - off galaxy and have a unique connection to the Force that is different from what we've seen before. Their existence could upset the balance of power in the known Star Wars universe, leading to a new conflict or alliance.
