The Star Wars project in question could possibly be the still-untitled Episode IX directed by J.J. Abrams which is scheduled to start principal photography this summer and coincides with the supposed filming timeline in Ireland.
The Star Wars creator was photographed eating at a high-end restaurant which started the aforementioned rumors.
Despite this, the fandom continues to have confidence that the Kenobi spinoff is next on the company’s anthology series following 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and this summer’s Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Belfast Telegraph reports George Lucas was in town before Christmas, supposedly checking out locations for the long-rumored Kenobi spinoff.
