Abrams only mean to direct a singleStar Warsfilm ( that beingThe Force Awakensin 2015 ) , he has been called back to the galaxy far , far away . He was hired as the director ofStar Wars 9following the departure of Colin Trevorrow .

For his first tweet , Abrams confirmed the start of output onStar Wars 9 . He did so by writing"Bittersweet starting this next chapter without Carrie , but thanks to an sinful cast and bunch , we are ready togo " . He also highlighted the somebody who made it possible for him to tell this next chapter , adding"Grateful for Rian Johnson and special thanks to George Lucas for creating this incredible world and beginning a tale of which we are golden to be a part" . The BTS photo can be seen below , follow by Johnson ’s retort .
Lucasfilm previously confirmedEpisode 9filming would set about today ( as part of the casting announcement ) , but it ’s nice to see Abrams drop some of his secrecy to kick back off production . He ’s also the one responsible for finding a way to bring back Carrie Fisher ’s Leia , according to her crony , and how he will manage to finish Leia ’s story is already one of the biggest question surrounding the film . Arguably , though , bringing her back is n’t something Lucasfilm and Abrams would do unless they knew they had a great room to make it occur .
When it fare to the actual simulacrum that Abrams apportion , there ’s only so much data that can be draw from it . The easygoing observance to make is the return of John Boyega as Finn . The shot comes from the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon , which is the last place audiences see Finn at . Chewbacca also is likely behind Finn ’s correct articulatio humeri , and one has to think that Rey is the person piloting the starship , in this view . We knowFinn and Rey will be together againinEpisode 9after being largely branch forThe Last Jedi , so this triple could once again be on their own dangerous undertaking .
It seems unlikely that Abrams will bear on to share BTS looks atEpisode 9 , so this could be the first and only image for a while . But , now that production has begun , the usual amount of leaked prepare photograph and video could rise , thus shedding some additional light on thefinal installment in the Skywalker Saga .
