    Can't use material you don't own, if your primary interest is money.

    So on one hand, that reads to me like she meant "we are not pulling from the existing comics or books", as opposed to "we are unaware of them".

    On the other hand, Darth Caedus (aka Jacen Solo) might have something to say about Kylo Ren being an "original concept" that "was not pulled from the books or comics".

    Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow was slated to write and direct Episode IX before you brought J.J. Abrams back in. Is this final entry in the trilogy a particularly hard nut to crack?
    Every one of these movies is a particularly hard nut to crack. There’s no source material. We don’t have comic books. We don’t have 800-page novels. We don’t have anything other than passionate storytellers who get together and talk about what the next iteration might be.
