Star Wars: Episode IX
Set sometime after The Last Jedi, Episode IX will follow Finn and Rey, presumably as they work to rebuild the Resistance against a First Order united under the control of Kylo Ren. While filming has yet to begin, it’s widely rumored Billy Dee Williams will return as Lando Calrissian.

Rian Johnson Star Wars Trilogy
The Last Jedi director is working on his own Star Wars sequel. All that’s known about this one is that it will explore new characters and new settings, expanding the Star Wars universe beyond the claustrophobic bounds of the other films in the franchise.

Series from Game of Thrones Creators
This is another big question mark. According to Lucasfilm, the new series from Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss “will be separate from both the episodic Skywalker saga and the recently-announced trilogy being developed by Rian Johnson.”

Star Wars: Episode X, XI, XII
According to Collider, part of the Lucasfilm plan to shelve the Star Wars Story series was to focus on developing plans for the Skywalker saga after Episode IX, specifically “the next trilogy.

Star Wars: Episode X, XI and XII may be a long way off, but Lucasfilm is already laying the groundwork. Even with the reported cancellations, there’s a lot of Star Wars ahead.
