Rian Johnson to create New Star Wars Trilogy
- Thread starter BrokenFiction
- Start date
Wow, this is amazing news. I'm really, really looking forward to seeing what this turns out to be. An Old Republic trilogy would absolutely rock.
Holy crap, this is amazing.
And now, my question: are we done with Rey and Finn after the current sequel trilogy? Or will we get an actual Episode 10-12, alternating between Rian's trilogy?

Good. I've always maintained that upcoming Star Wars releases should aim to dissociate themselves from just simply being yet another story of the Skywalker family. You have an entire galaxy (or galaxies?) of possibilities after all.
That said, there is such a thing as franchise fatigue to me and I fear Star Wars is quickly going to tire me out with all these incessant new films. But I'll be interested to see what this new blank slate entails and whether it will maintain my steady interest over time.

Should be interesting. I'm hoping they can minimise the tendency to shove in for X-Wings, TIE Fighters, Stormtroopers, The Force, etc.
The Last Jedi must be an impressive movie. Maybe this is why he didn't sign on for IX.
I always hoped these anthology movies would lead us to a trilogy or new arc series outside of the I-IX movies before they will later inevitably make X-XII if there are skywalkers left anyway

Since it's probably going to become a derail that goes on for pages and pages unless someone points it out:
The official story says it takes place in a new corner of the Star Wars galaxy.
An unofficial story says it takes place in a seperate galaxy.
The official story is probably the correct one!

OH. MY. GOD.
I never thought I'd be as blindsided and hyped for anything Star Wars related as I was the day that Rian was announced to direct Episode VIII in the summer of 2014. But that magnificent bastard just did it again... AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THE LAST JEDI YET!!!
Can't wait to see what the hell Rian's cooking up for this new trilogy. This is insanely exciting news!

A new trilogy by Rian and a Star Wars live action show announced in the same day
How have I not fainted yet

Is he seriously going to write and direct a Star Wars movie every two years for six years? That seems ridiculous. Maybe it's EP8 / Solo / Anthology / EP9 / Anthology / Rian / EP 10?
Soon I will have a new director, one far younger and more powerful.
Neat, if JJ fucks up IX we have this to look forward to. The tiny description of the new trilogy and saying they gave him a blank canvas is really exciting.
I hope this (for now) puts to rest the idea that KK is extending herself too much.
Rian is one of the most talented filmmakers today and he absolutely adored working with this team. So much that he's signed this long ass contract.

Then I'm gonna get annoyed constantly yelling at people who think Revan is a Kylo Ren ripoff.
Well, I'm kinda torn about this.
This could be really good obviously, but I wish Johnson would do more than just franchise films.
Same way I feel about Abrams honestly.

No, he's just doing the first one but it wouldn't surprise me if he has major input in the last 2 since he's "shepherding" the new trilogy. But officially he's just writing and directing the first right now.
Where does it say that? The press release mentions only the first of the trilogy. For now at least.
Woooooooaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm excited!!! This is way better than just making random side stories, hopefully we can get another epic story.
