What We Know About ‘Starfighter
While we know that Starfighter will not continue the Skywalker Saga, it will tell a self-contained story.
“This is a standalone. It’s not a prequel, not sequel. It’s a new adventure. And it’s set in a period of time that we haven’t seen explored yet,” Levy explained.
