1 year later....
Time jump confirmed!!
According to John Boyega: Star Wars: Episode IX take place 1 year after The Last Jedi.
so that means Episode IX is set in the year 35 ABY (after the Battle of Yavin), since both The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi were set in the year 34 ABY.
what you think of the time jump? A lot can happen in a year.
