The latest Star Wars Barside Buzz including, a breakdown of the dead films never coming and Episode X having more sequel characters. Let’s get into it and first off I’m sharing two X posts from FivesWalker; both of which I replied to say I agree with him. Check them out, but this is Fives using inside info and a bit of speculation to work through what films are dead, what they evolved into and what we are actually getting.
TLDR, is that I agree with Fives that Starfighter and then Episodes X-XII are all we are definitely still getting. I have no inside info to add to this, not these days, but I still believe they’re right.

Additionally, we have two lines regarding Episode X from Daniel RPK on his Patreon,
Firstly he says that he’s heard Lucasfilm want the Jon Watts directed Episode X to feel more like the OT.
I’m not sure what that really means as the same was said of the Sequel Trilogy and in the end it was just the same story and not well liked.
Secondly, Daniel has heard that Episode X may feature other ST characters besides Rey (Daisy Ridley). There were rumors back when Episode X was the Rey sequel movie (see above for my reasoning) that Lucasfilm wanted John Boyega back. Boyega would absolutley make the most sense given he was probably the first student Rey taught as a Jedi. Outside of Finn I think they should make a clean break, outside maybe Ben Solo if they find a way.
