The Galactic Resistance was left in a bad way at the conclusion of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, but the final scene proved that the spirit of the Rebellion lives on across the galaxy. With the First Order now seemingly gaining the upper hand (though not without a stinging blow to their new Supreme Leader), star John Boyega has teased what he thinks will be an epic war in the currently untitled Episode IX.
Speaking to ComingSoon.net, Boyega confirmed that shooting for the film will commence in July. "Next for me filming wise is Star Wars: Episode IX in July, and they’ve officially given us a note to start training soon," Boyega said at a press event. "I’m going to take a holiday before that, because I think Episode IX you know, regardless of where the story goes, and I haven’t read it by the way, is going to be all-out war so I know that I’m going to have to do all I can and train for that.”
"I think what’s fantastic is it feels like it’s coming back full circle,” Boyega also said of director J.J. Abrams' return to direct. “I don’t know nothing about the script, the story. I don’t know where Finn’s going, I don’t know where Rey is going, but definitely I feel this is the war to end all wars in this movie."
