Shawn Levy's Star Wars movie, which is set to star Ryan Gosling, will be arriving after The Mandalorian & Grogu – and it'll take place after The Rise of Skywalker on the Star Wars timeline.

The update comes courtesy of Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, who spoke to Deadline about what's in the works for Star Wars.

Later in the same interview, she shared more about the Levy movie. "That’s also in the future. It’s all post-[the first] nine. Shawn’s is a standalone Star Wars story that'll take place post-nine, maybe five or six years out," she said. That would make Levy's movie the first post-Rise of Skywalker project to be released.

The tease about sequel characters potentially returning is also an exciting one – after all, we know a Rey movie has been in the works for some time, so could the Jedi be showing up in Levy's movie? We'll just have to wait and see.
