Untitled Star Wars film (Shawn Levy)

A Star Wars film is currently in development at Lucasfilm with filmmaker Shawn Levy.

Levy publicly confirmed the report the same day on Twitter.

On October 23, 2023, Shawn Levy was interviewed by Variety on his projects and briefly spoke on his film, stating that Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy wanted a Star Wars film with a story and tone that reflects Levy and his taste. With the 2024 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Deadpool & Wolverine positive production, Levy stated to Variety that he felt a similar optimism going into the development of his Star Wars film.
On June 17, 2024, in another interview with Deadline, Levy stated that production was slow-going, as it took time to develop a project with the amount of mythology and expanded universe that Star Wars has. On the premier for Deadpool & Wolverine on July 12, Levy confirmed that Jonathan Tropper would be writing his Star Wars film and that Kennedy and Lucasfilm Chief Creative Officer Dave Filoni were excited on the premise. 
On August 8, Levy spoke with the Happy Sad Confused podcast where he was asked on the film. Levy stated that the experience of creating his Star Wars film has forced him to think on what Star Wars is as there were only so many times that Star Wars films could revisit the same part of the timeline. Levy commented that he's not interested in creating a redundant film, nor one where he has to serve another.
