Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson has revealed that there was no planned out story beyond The Force Awakens when he came on board to helm Episode VIII.
By all accounts, Johnson was very successful in designing another compelling episode of the Star Wars saga.
Force Awakens, Last Jedi, and Star Wars 9 will ultimately work together to tell one story.
It’s become common for franchises these days to plan installments out in advance, and Star Wars is no different.
