Skywalker Is No More
According to the sources the story would take place after the 2019’s event of Star Wars : “The Rise Of the Skywalker’. But it would not be the continuation of Skywalker Saga.
It is planned to features the characters from the 2010s ‘Sequel Trilogy’.
Lindelof stated in May 2020 that he was interested in stepping into the Star Wars universe “at some point, but certainly not in the immediate future.” He added, “Maybe a decade from now when I would no longer be blamed for ruining it. That would be a hoot.” However, rumors began circulating in March that the acclaimed showrunner was writing a new movie for Lucasfilm.
