It was announced last week that Colin Trevorrow will no longer direct Star Wars: Episode IX. In finding his replacement, Lucasfilm turned to a familiar face... J. J. Abrams:
J.J. Abrams, who launched a new era of Star Wars with The Force Awakens in 2015, is returning to complete the sequel trilogy as writer and director of Star Wars: Episode IX. Abrams will co-write the film with Chris Terrio. Star Wars: Episode IX will be produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Michelle Rejwan, Abrams, Bad Robot, and Lucasfilm.
The release date has been moved from May 24, 2019 to December 20, 2019.

i like what you wrote last! if you look at stories and movies as textual and visual programming tools, they tend to be walk us through how things fail and go wrong and have us judge them by how error handling was implemented. These well realized intentions sucks the life out of us and keep the fiction about how it all ends badly.
perhaps there's an ancient alien civilization on the planet which prompts all our imagination to go to a place where anything we would do or think or feel or experience or intend would have been something those guys had done before hibernating deep underground somewhere. whatever the cause, the negativity you describe is like a reflection in a mirror cabinet to me. it crowds out the joy of figuring things out for ourselves - and messes up our perspectives, as shown in the way your conclusion went. So, since that is all false, I sincerely hope that you don't believe your own senses or observations and make the world your own somehow!
