Rian Johnson has reportedly confirmed that his Star Wars trilogy is still happening, though there aren't any set dates or timelines for the project.The filmmaker, who directed Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the middle chapter of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, recently sat down for an interview with USA Today reporter Sariah Wilson, who subsequently confirmed on Twitter that Johnson's previously-announced Star Wars trilogy is still in the works. Wilson said it has "no dates or timelines because [Johnson] has other projects going on, but it is happening."

News of Johnson's Star Wars trilogy first emerged in 2017 when it was reported that he would be writing and directing the first of three new Star Wars movies alongside his long-time collaborator Ram Bergman, who was on board as a producer. It was understood that the trio of stories would "introduce new characters from a corner of the galaxy that Star Wars lore has never before explored."
In the years that followed, there were very few updates about the status of the project. In 2018, Johnson revealed that he was still in the early stages of the developing process, as he admitted that he was "at the very beginning of figuring out what this new thing" could be. He also confirmed that he wouldn't allow the outrage over Episode VIII to influence his vision for the upcoming movies.Rumors then circulated in 2019 to suggest that Rian Johnson had abandoned the Star Wars franchise, however, Johnson swiftly confirmed on Twitter that he hadn't departed his project with Disney and Lucasfilm. Later in the same year, he even hinted about some of his plans for the new Star Wars trilogy, as he reaffirmed that he would be moving "beyond the legacy characters" to find a new direction.
For the most part, news of the project remained dormant after that, with many expecting to hear an update during Disney's Investor Day last year. Johnson's Star Wars trilogy was noticeably absent from the company's announcements, though we did find out about Patty Jenkins' Star Wars movie, which is set to feature an all-new generation of heroic pilots in a "boundary-pushing, high-speed thrill ride."Star Wars: Rogue Squadron was one of the many Star Wars announcements revealed during the event, which also included news of an Ahsoka Tano Spinoff, Rangers of the New Republic, a Star Wars: Lando Calrissian series, a High Republic series called Acolyte, an anime called Star Wars: Visions, Star Wars: Andor, and Hayden Christensen's return as Darth Vader in Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi series.
For now though, here's a rundown of everything that Star Wars fans have to look forward to this year. Adele Ankers is a Freelance Entertainment Journalist. You can reach her on Twitter."still" - Google News
