The new films will look to the past, present, and future of the galaxy, with Mangold directing a film about "the first Jedi to wield the force" while Filoni will focus on "escalating war between the Imperial remnant and the New Republic.”
Meanwhile, in a sensational turn of events, Obaid-Chinoy's movie will see Ridley's Rey return as the Jedi Master rebuilding the Jedi Order in the aftermath of the Sequel Trilogy.
Clearly thrilled, Filoni simply exclaimed: "I get to make a movie!" while Ridley was speechless at the support. She said: "My heart is pounding."
While details are still thin on the ground, Obaid-Chinoy's movie will be set 15 years after The Rise Of Skywalker, with it being described as a "theatrical event".
