That leaves the question of what's happening with the Star Wars movies.

"We have a road map," Kennedy says, although Lucasfilm's big-screen return is unlikely to follow the same relentless cadence as before. A movie from Jojo Rabbit's Taika Waititi and 1917 screenwriter Krysty Wilson-Cairns will likely arrive first, with Rogue Squadron from Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins further off. Is it true that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige will produce a Star Wars film? "I would love to see what movie he might come up with," Kennedy says. "But right now, no, there isn't anything specifically." And the trilogy from The Last Jedi's Rian Johnson that was announced five years ago? Back-burnered. "Rian has been unbelievably busy with Knives Out and the deal that he made at Netflix for multiple movies."

One of the enduring questions that the fans have is about Rian Johnson and his future with Star Wars. Is there anything you can tell me about that? I know it's been said that that trilogy is still on. But it's been so many years since it was announced. Is that still the case? Can we resolve what's going on with his idea?

Rian has been unbelievably busy with Knives Out and the deal that he made at Netflix for multiple movies. I've had meetings with Rian; he's somebody that's come in as part of our little brain trust discussions along the way. He remains very committed to what it is we're trying to do. He just literally hasn't had the time to devote. That's what I'm saying: Anyone who comes into the Star Wars universe needs to know that it's a three, four, five-year commitment. That's what it takes. You can't step in for a year and shoot something and then walk away. It just doesn't work that way. So it requires that kind of nurturing.

Oh Kath

Can't wait to get endless cameos until the series becomes unprofitable

He is busy to be fair, I'm sure he could still work on the stories on the side when he has spare time.

Considering how they managed the last trilogy I wouldn't start shit unless it was planned out.

Strange how TLJ got critical acclaim and made bank yet LF treats it like it was Batman v Superman or something...

Also if they're willing to say that they decided not to do the Game of Throne's guys movies but aren't do that for Rian Johnson then that should tell you all you need to know.

That trilogy ain't going anywhere. It's just a matter of when it'll get made.

This is a win for everyone. Rian's skills not wasted on SW and used on other interesting properties like Knives Out.

On one hand, that's not what Kennedy said at all.

On the other hand, I don't know how many people still genuinely think there's a chance of another Star Wars film with Rian Johnson's involvement ever releasing

I feel like we've had three separate threads about this one Kathleen Kennedy interview today alone.

Can't blame him for focusing on other stuff. Dude makes the best Star Wars movie in a while and just got shit on for it.

She doesn't say that but yea no shit. It's been 5 years and there's been absolutely nothing said about it and Disney is quintupling down on the prequel era after burning through any potential new stories with the sequel trilogy.

Look OP we all know the project has been sent to the shadow realm but still don't make up words that no one said.

Rian Johnson is simply busy with his Knives Out sequels and they'll get back to it when he's ready.

People saying it's cancelled or will be quietly cancelled are weird. They said when stuff like the GoT guys movie was cancelled, why wouldn't they here? Like, maybe they will cancel it eventually, but I don't understand why people think it'll all be in secret lol

It still surprises me that Netflix threw hundred of millions at knives outs. No surprise that this is where the priority is right now

Huh, I though the Feige project was already announced. Guess that's not a thing.
