“Well, I’ve talked to [Lucasfilm] before and even worked a bit before on other projects. And I’m always interested in what’s going on there and have friends who work on other Star Wars projects. But I understood that much of what they were doing was kind of continuing the saga forward.”

"I don’t wanna make any guarantees one way or another, but it will be before Jedi. Meaning, you might be experiencing something that might become Jedi. Despite the fact that people make movies other ways, I don’t tend to think people brand themselves before they’ve actually found themselves."
"James Mangold's Jedi Prime is set thousands and thousands of years before [the original trilogy], and I'm really excited to see what happens there."
