Well, that didn't take long. On September 6th, LucasFilm announced that Star Wars: Episode IX would not be directed by Colin Trevorrow (read the article), and a few days ago, the announcement was made that J.J. Abrams will be taking the helm on the ninth installment of the Star Wars triple trilogy.

Abrams directed Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens in 2015 and he did a great job blending the nostalgia of the past with elements that could carry the series into the future.

"With The Force Awakens, J.J. delivered everything we could have possibly hoped for, and I am so excited that he is coming back to close out this trilogy," said Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy.

Star Wars: Episode IX is scheduled to be released in theaters on December 20, 2019. Be sure to add the movie to your Favorite Movies list to keep updated on all the latest news and information!
