Details of the plot are still sketchy. Deadline reported that the new trilogy would follow the Skywalker Saga from George Lucas ’s 1977 film and serve as Episodes 10-12. However, anonymous sources cited by The Hollywood Reporter said that it would be set after 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker, and would have new characters and a new storyline.

Lucasfilm has closed a deal with Simon Kinberg to develop a trilogy of new Star Wars films, which he will write and produce.
