Lucasfilm recently pushedStar Wars : Episode IXto December and as a result has bump the start of production back to June 2018 . While everyone was pay close care toStar Wars : The Last Jedi , seeking out every titbit of information and question when the next trailer would drop , Lucasfilm didder up the beetleweed far , far forth by announcingColin Trevorrow would no longer directStar Wars 9 . He wasreportedly being too difficult during the pre - production unconscious process , have a rift between he and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy .

For the transposition , Lucasfilm go back to the man that started theStar Warsrenaissance by bringingStar Wars : The Force AwakensdirectorJ.J. Abrams back to shut out the trilogy . In doing so , he will aid rewrite the script and Lucasfilmpushed back the releaseto provide ample time for them to get it correct . As a effect , motion-picture photography has also been delayed .

With this news following the release date change , it is not surprising , but it is also reassuring . Lucasfilm could ’ve very well gravel to their plot design and asked Abrams ( or anyone ) to do whatever it takes to verify they do n’t stay the film . devotee have been dying to see an episodicStar Warsfilm back in May , and the drive to meet those expected value and live up to premature announcements could have been reason enough for Lucasfilm to rush through pre - product to meet the particular date .

Since they are not doing that , Abrams and Terrio will be able-bodied to craft a script over the next few months . Plus , they and all of Lucasfilm will be able-bodied to see the response toThe Last Jediand make any changes necessary as a result . If they had started filming just a month afterThe Last Jedihit theaters , those variety to the story may not have had sentence to make it into the original script .

This delay in output at this leg should hopefully not result in any scheduling headaches either . Daisy Ridley is already filming or has wrap on every film she ’s attached to that has a waiver escort , so they should not have much trouble get Rey back . The same can be said for John Boyega ( Finn ) , Adam Driver ( Kylo Ren ) , Oscar Isaac ( Poe Dameron ) , and Mark Hamill ( Luke Skywalker ) . Fans will have to await until December to see whereStar Wars : Episode IXcould take each of them , and thankfully Lucasfilm has more time now to see that all out .
