For now, no confirmation has been made from Lucasfilm or Kinberg's representatives. 

However, It was reported that Whitta has written the first draft of the movie, in which the plot is about a heist story of Bounty Hunters. It is sensible that Lucasfilm would get Kinberg to rewrite the script quickly as he's heavily-involved already in creating the Star Wars universe in the Disney-era.
