With The Rise of Skywalker, a troubled chapter of Star Wars closed with a whimper. Palpatine somehow returned, Rey adopted the Skywalker name, and the sequel trilogy came to a merciful conclusion. The franchise quickly moved on: The Mandalorian started a new era for Star Wars weeks before Rise of Skywalker even hit theaters.

A new Star Wars trilogy is on the way – but there are conflicting reports about whether it'll be a continuation of the Skywalker Saga. Per Deadline, the movies will be Episodes 10-12, but Lucasfilm insiders have apparently disputed that the new films will continue the storyline of the original, prequel, and sequel trilogies.
