Star Wars 9 director JJ Abrams SPEAKS OUT on Episode 9 script and when shooting begins

The 51-year-old appear on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert earlier this week where he gave an update on Star Wars Episode IX.

Getting right to the point, the talk show host asked: “What can you tell us about Episode IX?

Abrams said: “Being back for Episode IX is as surreal as it gets and it’s really exciting.”

“We have a script, which is a big deal for me.”

The director replaced Colin Trevorrow as director after he was fired by Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy in 2017.

Episode IX will be released in UK cinemas on December 20, 2019.
