Because things are fine, StarWars.com posted A Statement Regarding Star Wars: Episode IX.  Director Colin Trevorrow is out, after directing Jurassic World and Safety Not Guaranteed (largely positive) and the new Book of Henry (largely negative.)  A key quote:

"Lucasfilm and Colin Trevorrow have mutually chosen to part ways on Star Wars: Episode IX. Colin has been a wonderful collaborator throughout the development process but we have all come to the conclusion that our visions for the project differ."

No new director is known, but at this point I'd start putting money in big names and former Lucasfilm collaborators. For those keeping track, this is the third movie to fire its director - along with Josh Trank's first side story, the untitled-but-totally-coming-in-May Han Solo spin-off, and now Episode IX.  Episode IX, last I heard, was still on the docket for May 24, 2019.
