Well see what happens.

We need to develop and get it to where were both super happy with it.
io9 reached out to Lucasfilm multiple times but has yet to receive a comment or clarification.
Well update this story if or when we do.
Jenkins prefaced that statement with a bit of backstory, which involves another mega franchise shed been working on.
When that went away, Lucasfilm and I were like, Oh, we gotta finish this deal.
We finished the deal right as the strike was happening.
So I now owe a draft of Star Wars and so we will see what happens there.
You know, like, who knows?
They have a hard job in front of them of whats the first movie theyre gonna do.
We need to develop and get it to where were both super happy with it.
you’re free to listen to the segment here starting a bit after 42 min.
However, as Jenkins implies, its not exactly alive yet either.
She simply owes the studio a draft of the script.
Whether or not Lucasfilm will like that draft of the script and move forward depends on its quality.
All that is clear is the next Star Wars movie is almost certain to beThe Mandalorian and Grogu.
After that, who knows?
Probably the Rey movie?
But its all still up in the air.
That was over three years ago.
And yet here we are, still talking about maybe getting a good script.
So there wasnt one in the first place when you announced the movie was happening?
Isnt that maybe a symptom of a larger issue?
Again, well update this story if Lucasfilm weighs in.
For now though, we just have to go on Jenkins word.
What do you think?
