As for what the film is talking about, the details of the intrigue for the script of Jonathan Tropper (“The Adam Project”) are kept under the Wraps, and it is not clear if the title of the film refers to an indescribable ship or to a pilot, perhaps the main character who will be played by leisure. However, Levy confirmed some details.

During the celebration, Levy revealed: “It is an autonomous. It is not a prequel, not the continuation. It is a new adventure. It is located in a certain time that we have not yet seen explored.”

This period is about five years after “the rise of Skywalker”, as Levy said on stage. But the film will have no narrative connective tissue at the Skywalker saga.

Here is the treatment of the title which was revealed to Star Wars Celebration, with a title treatment which looks like any other that we have seen from the franchise before, but which tells us nothing about what to expect, unless we can read this little light as alluding to a laser saber. But even then, it’s not much to do.

Given the timing of this film, it is rather shocking that the first original film of “Star Wars” is out of the door, will be the one that tells an autonomous story, rather than something which is intended to launch the next era of “Star Wars”. Before “Starfighter” arrived in 2027, We will obtain “the Mandalorian and the Grogu” in 2026But this is not something that will have an impact on the next films of “Star Wars” because it is more closely linked to current television shows on Disney +
