Director Shawn Levy (The Adam Project) has signed on to direct a Star Wars film. No other information has been revealed so could be about anything. Levy's next project is directing Deadpool 3 so whatever he might plan for Star Wars is at least two years away, three more likely. Considering the last five or so years has included multiple directors signing on and leaving various movie Star Wars movie plans, I wouldn't get excited until actually hear that filming has started. Even then no guarantees since half the new era films replaced their director's after filming started.
What is a guarantee is the cast of Star Wars: The Acolyte. Filming on the Disney+ series has started with the cast announced. Nothing has been revealed about the show except that it takes place near the end of the High Republic or about 80 to 100 years before A New Hope. From Gizmodo, "The Hate U Give’s Amandla Stenberg was already announced to star in the series, but she’ll be joined by Squid Game’s Lee Jung-jae, The Good Place’s Manny Jacinto, His Dark Materials’ Dafne Keen, Russian Doll’s Charlie Barnett, Inventing Anna’s Rebecca Henderson, 1917's Dean-Charles Chapman, The Matrix’s Carrie Anne-Moss, and Queen & Slim’s Jodie Turner-Smith."
The official synopsis - The Acolyte is a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era. A former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they confront are more sinister than they ever anticipated.
