Episode IX is being directed by Colin Trevorrow, with production eyed to begin in January 2018. Rian Johnson, who wrote and directed the upcoming Episode VIII, "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," was reported as having written a treatment for Episode IX, but he later took to Twitter to correct that. Trevorrow and his writing partner Derek Connolly reportedly wrote the most recent draft of the script. But it sounds like that draft will now be getting a new polish.
Episode IX is scheduled for release May 24, 2019. "The Last Jedi" opens December 15 of this year.
