Disney and Lucasfilm also announced that Gary Whitta, who wrote the scripts for Star Wars: Rebels season three episodes The Antilles Extraction, The Wynkathu Job, would co-develop the script for the December blockbuster.
Whiita said: "From the moment I saw the original movies as a wide-eyed kid, Star Wars has been the single most profound inspiration to my imagination and to my career as writer. I'm truly pinching myself."
The second Star Wars stand alone film, the untitled Han Solo movie, is set to be released next year on May 25, 2018.
