Rian Johnson Working With Benioff & Weiss On New Movies

Via Screenrant.com:

Rian Johnson and David Benioff & D.B. Weiss are working closely together as they plot the course for their respective Star Wars movie projects. This December, Lucasfilm will release The Rise of Skywalker, the ninth and final episode in the classic Skywalker saga that’s defined the franchise since 1977. However, that will hardly be the last Star Wars film to grace the big screen. The studio’s already announced plans for separate series spearheaded by Johnson and Benioff & Weiss, both of which are said to be disconnected from the generations-spanning Skywalker story.

Of course, details about these films are hard to come by, other than speculation Benioff & Weiss’ series will be set during the Old Republic era. It will likely be some time before anything’s officially announced, but the various parties are hard at work behind-the-scenes, figuring out where they want these new narratives to go. And even though the projects are presumably independent of one another, Johnson is working alongside the Game of Thrones showrunners during these earliest days of development.
