Is it after The Rise of Skywalker? Star Wars has projects that take place in multiple time periods, so what’s the present?

Pretty sure the present is after Rise of Skywalker, since they are making a new Rey’s Jedi Order movie
In Canon: After the Rise of Skywalker, because there will be a trilogy for Rey's new Jedi Order.
In Legends: Probably around the 100 ABY, that's when the main characters start to die of old age.
If you're talking about the whole "A long time ago" thing, then the answer is that there is no "present." Every piece of Star Wars media, now and in the future, will be set in the past, as that is the central tagline of the entire franchise. The events take place a long time ago in the past, in a galaxy far away from that of our own.
In the words of Wade Wilson, "These timelines can get so confusing."
It's "A long time ago" and "in a galaxy far away", that's all one really needs to know. Whether it takes place past, present, or indeed future depends on what Lucasfilm are doing. Hopefully they do better now than they did with the stuff that came out the past few years, but one can only hope.
There is a not canon and not legends comic that shows how Han Solo and Chewbaca crash on earth with the Millenium Falcon, and it shows how american indian kill Han Solo. If we trust this story it could be that the present is about 600 ABY or 700 ABY because that is were the american indians lived or it could be earlier too.
I definitely don't trust that story.
^^That story was pretty neat, but it's clearly intended to be non canonical.
What do you think?
