Rian Johnson has confirmed, via USA Today reporter Sariah Wilson, that he did not know that Ben was going to die in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Me: “Did you know that Ben was going to die when you were making T L J? Did you know that from the beginning?”
Rian: “No, I did not. No.”
Me, irritated because I realize that killing Ben Solo was not always the plan. Rian notices my expression and sigh of disgust

Last month, Wilson confirmed that Johnson’s Star Wars trilogy was still happening.
