“The truth is they’re still figuring out their schedule, their game plan,” he told the Evening Standard. “If it’s possible for me to squeeze in another film before or while working on that, I will.”

Star Wars fans have recently stated that they believe Anakin Skywalker will return in The Rise of Skywalker.

It comes after Ian McDiarmid and Hayden Christensen – who played Emperor Palpatine and Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequels respectively – were set to attend a Star Wars panel at Salt Lake’s FanX (September 5-7).

According to fans at the event, Disney pulled the panel because it was concerned about spoilers leaking for the film.
