Kathleen Kennedy: "[Simon Kinberg]’s working right now. He wrote something that we read in August, and it was very good, but not there. We’ve pretty much upended the story, and then spent a great deal of time on the treatment, which he finished literally about four weeks ago. And it’s a very..."

"...detailed treatment, like 70 pages. And so he is expected to give us something in March." "I know that Dave [Filoni] and Lynwen [Brennan] are very much on board with what Simon’s doing, and that would be a new trilogy. In the timeline of things, that takes you well into 2030 plus."

"Kinberg, who previously co-created the DisneyXD animated series Star Wars Rebels (2014-’18), has been working on the new trilogy since 2018, with Daisy Ridley reportedly eyed to reprise her role as Rey, as it will serve in the next chapter of the Skywalker Saga."

I think the project will happen because Jon Watts is one of the safest choice they could go with, just as with Shaun Levy. And considering how amazing (and beauifully looking) Skeleton Crew was, yeah I'm gonna be optimistic.
