According to a report from Ziro.hu, Disney is preparing for a new era of Star Wars named Project Luminous. Project Luminous would be the start of a brand new Star Wars film series set 300-400 years before the start of the Skywalker saga. But while the movies will be the showcase of the Star Wars frachise, a video game is apparently set to kick off the new era. The report’s anonymous source states that a Star Wars game planned to launch in 2021 will be the “first product” of Project Luminous.

Project Luminous will apparently grow from that first project into a series of films said to be more akin to the Marvel Cinematic Universe than the trilogy-centric series that came before. That means Disney could run several ongoing movie series that cross over and come together for major events. The Marvel Universe notably never directly crossed over with video games, though Battlefront 2 came close, so it’s unclear if more video game crossovers would be planned for the future.

As for details about the video game that would kick off Project Luminous, there’s nothing to be said. It’s unclear if the video game even exists, let alone what studio might be making it or what kind of game it might be. That doesn’t mean the possibility isn’t there, however. Both DICE and Respawn could be working on new Star Wars video games, or another studio altogether.

On one hand, it would be no surprise that more Star Wars video games are in development. Those Star Wars games, or at least some of them, are undoubtedly going to be related to whatever new Star Wars series that Disney puts together. While it’s not impossible for such a game to kick off a new series, so to speak, it can likely be assumed that it still wouldn’t be required viewing material. It’d be inessential, though it’d certainly be cool.

Given that this is an anonymously sourced rumor, however, it’s best to take it with a grain of salt. There are more Star Wars games coming eventually. Hopefully, more news about them will be shared in 2020.
