As with any recent Star Wars movie announcement, I'll get excited when something actually starts filming.
Off the top of my head we've had:
-Rian Johnson creating a new trilogy (3 movies) -- not currently in active development
-David Benioff and DB Weiss signed to write and direct a new Star Wars trilogy (3 movies) - both bailed on it and nothing said since, evidently cancelled
-Kevin Feige Star Wars movie (1 movie) -- announced but apparently never even started any stage of development
-Taika Waititi Star Wars movie (1 movie) - announced and apparently still being worked on, but with these new announcements I would expect it to be quietly canned
-Star Wars: Rogue Squadron from Patty Jenkins (1 movie) -- looks like definitely not happening.
-Shawn Levy directed Star Wars (1 movie) - talked about and confirmed by the director himself, but he's not involved in any of these announcements so probably not happening?
So these exciting new announcements are the 11th, 12th, and 13th Star Wars movies confirmed to be in development with names attached. So let's not get excited until something is actually filming.
