Godzilla rises up from the ocean in a after credits scene and Kong asks Tell me , do you bleed ? you will then credits roll <| sep |> Between the films you mentioned and the Darth Vader VR project that David Goyer ' s involved in , I don ' t think these are being done for something as material as to sell figures , or goods , for Vader , Solo , or all new characters like Jyn Erso , Bodhi Rook , or Galen Erso . I think it ' s being done to explore stories , in a live action format , that they wouldn ' t otherwise get to explore , in sequels like Episode 8 , or indeed 9 . Those stories have have to progress the saga , advance things forward , rather than backward . It ' d focus more on a mix between old and new characters , with hopefully new stories , told in a fresh and exciting way . You haven ' t necessarily gotten that 100 % in Force Awakens , with so many familiar story beats , but time will tell what future sequels have in store . And , it ' s just a lovely thing , getting a new Han Solo story , with Chewie , with Lando , new , younger actors . So there ' s the safety of something familiar , with at least those 3 characters running about , yet the scariness of new actors , like Glover or Ehrenreich . Especially in such familiar characters . But , hopefully , in this same universe and continuity , Rogue One , Han Solo and more will explore stories and tropes we don ' t tend to see in it , told well , surprisingly and just with good acting , humour , hope and horror . So , a Darth Maul or Count Dooku film ' d be great , or indeed one about the criminal underworld or bounty hunters of Star Wars . Maybe focus on the pilots , or a short film of day in the life of a Stormtrooper , or a film all around Tarkin , or Krennic . There ' s so much to explore , it ' s worth opening that door a bit further , even if they are prequels to TFA , when during 13 , or 46 .
