Contrary to popular belief, movie-maker Rian Johnson hasn’t been involved in the writing process for Star Wars: Episode IX.

Rian Johnson hasn’t responded to these queries, and there’s no guarantee that he actually knows the answer.
The confirmation that Colin Trevorrow would be directing Star Wars: Episode 9 was met with mixed reactions.
