OK, so life can be kind of cool sometimes. I have no words for how happy this makes me. This news makes me more excited for Star Wars than I’ve ever been since I was 7.
I’m just curious what landed him such a prospect as to do his own trilogy. Was The Last Jedi just that well received at Lucasfilms?
I’m thinking the answer lies somewhere between his movies and this:

Also, they need to start injecting something else than nostalgia very soon into their Star Wars, or the brand will go stale. Same reason for why they tolerate MCU movies that are not massive successes on their own.
