Empire Magazine’s 2019 Preview issue (which hits stands December 27), has an interesting article with John Boyega about the upcoming Star Wars Episode IX film. In it the actor confirms that one year has passed since the end of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Thanks to the Twitter account of Star Wars Stuff, we have a page from the upcoming issue that reveals that information.
This is some of the first real information revealed about the film, as it is currently shrouded in mystery. For those like us at ORN, it’s better that way, so that the surprises in the movie are left for the actual viewing.
