Rian Johnson to create New Star Wars Trilogy

[Boxy Brown]

WOAH

 

[Deleted member 28564]

More Star Wars is always good. Hopefully we'll get another golden age with games as well.

 

[Chibs]

What the?!
That sounds awesome!

This just made me even more excited about The Last Jedi, Lucasfilm must really have a lot of faith in Rian.

 

[MadLaughter]

HOLY FUCK

 

[Tribal_Cult]

I hope it's a prequel-prequel trilogy

 

[Gorgamel]

I am really hyped for The Last Jedi now( not that I wasn't already hyped before). If they are going all in on Rian, this means that they he must have made a masterpiece with TLJ.

Johnson will introduce new characters from a corner of the galaxy that Star Wars lore has never before explored

Interesting. I wonder what time period this trilogy will take place in.

 

[Disco]

I bet this series of movies is where he casts Joseph Gordon levitt in a part

 

[Benji]

Well holy shit. Disney must be blown away with The Last Jedi

separate from the episodic Skywalker saga, Johnson will introduce new characters from a corner of the galaxy that Star Wars lore has never before explored.

Thank god. The worst part of TFA was how every significant character in the galaxy is either a Skywalker or related to one. It makes a massive epic universe feel so small and constrained.

 

[broncobuster]

Honestly more interesting than the mainline movies, assuming, of course, these don't replace the mainline movies after Star Wars 9.

Star Wars has such a vast universe to keep focusing on that tiny sliver of the Skywalkers.

 

[Aesthet1c]

Like, Episode X-XII or something different? Like, say, an Obi-Wan trilogy?

The article states it will be separate from the Skywalker saga and focus on new characters. So it's going to be all original stuff.

 

[Carl2291]

Oh wow, that's huge news!

Could literally be anything. Sounds like creative freedom.

"In shepherding this new trilogy, which is separate from the episodic Skywalker saga, Johnson will introduce new characters from a corner of the galaxy that Star Wars lore has never before explored."

this is what I wanted from the start. now I can truly be excited

 

[ZattMurdock]

As writer-director of The Last Jedi, Johnson conceived and realized a powerful film of which Lucasfilm and Disney are immensely proud. In shepherding this new trilogy, which is separate from the episodic Skywalker saga, Johnson will introduce new characters from a corner of the galaxy that Star Wars lore has never before explored.

[aerie]

Wow, this is awesome news.

 

[Brian McDoogle]

I hope being latched to a giant franchise like this doesn't prevent him from making good and unique smaller movies like Brick and such.

 

[lastplayed]

Gotta milk that cow while it's plump I guess.

Yes!!!
This is what I've always wanted!

 

[Ondor]

I am so incredibly excited about this.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

So they're doing what I had hoped. They're going to use a new trilogy to space out the sequel trilogy from the second sequel trilogy. Nice.

Separate from the saga episodes.

I feel like Disney is going to milk Star Wars too much. The planning and different timelines associated with Marvel and Star Wars are really weird.

 

[Einchy]

Holy shiiiittt

I knew one day we would get a new trilogy with new characters, but I didn't think it would be this soon and I didn't think it would be Rian Johnson doing all 3. This is pretty much the best case scenario.

[edit]

Oh wait, he's not directing all three. Still pretty amazing news.

 

[Bronx-Man]

KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC

LET'S FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Kard8p3]

Holy shit. I'm down.

 

[Ryan.]

I'm in.

Now will it be after Episode IX or we getting Old Republic era?

Click to shrink...

Welp I should have read it better. Def have to be Old Republic era

 

[Togruta]

oh FUCK yeah

 

[blahness]

So glad we can start stepping away from the core Skywalker story. I can't wait to see what this will bring!

 

[Carn]

Awesome! They must be really liking what they've seen. Also, major time commitment from Johnson so I think this is pretty much his dream come true.

 

[Garrett 2U]

So is this replacing the Star Wars Anthology series? Or the Skywalker series?

 

[Raiku]

How many wars in the stars do you nerds need

 

[Strike]

Oh shit. They must be feeling really confident about TLJ.

 

[kai3345]

im getting star wars fatigue just reading that article

 

[Heckler456]

I'd really like it to be Old Republic. Anything else is a big 'ol meh for me. The second in this new trilogy isn't even out yet, and I already feel burnt out on all these fucking star wars movies.

 

[HStallion]

He's going to introduce characters from a far corner of the galaxy we've never visited before... but they're still gonna be good and evil force users.

 

[gaogaogao]

frick now ill never get looper 2

Click to shrink...

Same

 

[TubaZef]

And so we'll never have an year without a Star Wars movie again.

 

[Greg NYC3]

Whoa, set in a different Galaxy? This is huge news.

 

[AztecComplex]

Just reboot it.

Remove the stench of the prequels forever.

Wouldn't even be surprised if there was a "doomsday weapon" in there somewhere too.

 

[Medalion]

Wow, Kathleen REALLY REALLY loves Rian... sorry JJ

 

[less]

Sweet mother of god. Disney must love what he did with the new film.

 

[ManaByte]

Rian Johnson is truly George Lucas Jr.

He's going to start wearing flannel, and grow a huge neck.

All while Filoni plans his revenge. He was the chosen Padawan.

 

[SweetNicole]

HOLY SHIT

 

[hydruxo]

Holy fuck. This is awesome. Really happy for Rian, love his work.

 

[SnugTeam6]

holy fucking shit. This is the kind of exploration of the universe I was looking for. LET'S GO!

 

[Deleted member 2625]

yeah they have to be super duper happy with The Last Jedi to announce this.

 

[Skinny Pete]

OK forget Obi Wan and Han Solo movies...this is what we need!!!

 

[TheHunter]

YEEESSSSSSSSSS
