Last week, director Colin Trevorrow — who had worked on “Jurassic World” and “Safety Not Guaranteed” — stepped down from the project. He is the latest filmmaker to depart a Star Wars project this year after directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller left the Han Solo standalone film in June.
“Star Wars: Episode IX” is due to debut in cinemas in 2019 and it’s unclear whether the movie will incorporate material that Trevorrow might have already contributed.
The second film in the trilogy “The Last Jedi,” directed by Rian Johnson, will screen on December 17 2017.
Representatives from Disney did not immediately respond to CNET’s request for comment.
