Scott revealed more about this great news in an interview with IGN.
“Star Wars is Star Wars, no matter who you’re telling it for. The central beats of Star Wars, the hope, the adventure, the fun, they’re throughout everything. It’s the lens you see those stories through that changes. So you obviously have to be careful. The kind of story you tell in an adult novel is very different to the kind of story you tell in a kid’s comic, for example, or a TV show. But again, the basis of the stories, the values they’re built upon, the kind of character relationships we’re trying to establish, they work no matter what age group and as said, no matter what medium.”
