The story unfolds five years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, promising to expand the universe in exciting new directions.
The announcement was made at Star Wars Celebration, where it was also revealed that production will kick off this fall.

In a touching moment shared at the event, Ryan Gosling revealed that his mother sent him a nostalgic photo of his childhood Star Wars bedsheets upon learning of his casting. This personal connection underscores Gosling's long-standing affection for the franchise.
