Speaking about the future film, which reaches cinemas in December, director Rian Johnson revealed the film will pick up immediately where The Force Awakens left us. “I don’t want to skip ahead two years,” Johnson told USA Today.
Following the release of Rogue One, avid Star Wars fans are already gearing up for Episode VIII, despite the title having not been released yet.
The actress finished filming with Johnson but, because of her extended role in Episode IX, the studio is reportedly considering rejigging the film as a result.
Whether they will us CGI, as seen in Rogue One, remains to be seen.
